How to Find Space for a Dining Area in a Small Apartment?

Want to decorate a small dining area at home, but it seems like there's not enough space? We've selected six ideas from projects that can help solve this problem.

Moving to a Separate Room

Nikita Zub separated part of the living room with a glass partition and set up a small dining area here. "Often the "least convenient" spots in an apartment can become perfect for dining areas. So don't be afraid to choose the darkest part of your flat," says the designer.

Hide the Kitchen in a Niche

Designer Anna Rims divided the space into two zones using a partition wall. Kitchen cabinets were installed in a niche, and space for a small dining area with a sofa immediately appeared.

Combine the Kitchen with the Living Room

This apartment is only 28 square meters, but even here space was found for a mini dining area. The role of the table was taken by the kitchen island, so it's possible to both dine and cook here.

Place it by the Window

To keep the kitchen table from taking up too much space, designers at "Malitsky Studio" placed it right next to the window. The radiator was hidden under a custom-made sofa from a woodworking workshop.

In Irina Nosova's project, the work desk easily transforms into a dining table: the computer can be hidden behind shutters.

Designers at Bureau "Common Area" used a transformable countertop to decorate the kitchen-living room. Part of it can be raised onto the living room area to organize a dinner for five people. Meanwhile, the straight sofa transforms into an L-shaped one.
