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

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

Move it to a Separate Room

Nikita Zub separated part of the living room with a glass partition and created a small dining area there. "Often the 'least convenient' spots in an apartment can become perfect for dining zones. 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 there was immediately room for a small dining area with a sofa.

Combine the Kitchen with the Living Room

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

Place It Near the Window

To keep the kitchen table from taking up too much space, designers at 'Malitskikh Studio' placed it right against the window. The radiator was hidden under a custom-made sofa made in a carpentry workshop.

Designers at Bureau 'Common Square' used a transformable countertop for the kitchen-living room combo. Part of it can be raised to the living room area to host a dinner for five people. At the same time, the straight sofa transforms into an L-shaped one.
