Keeping the tones light will allow the space to feel airy and bright,' adds Karen. 'Armless chairs can visually enhance the space and enable you to easily store them underneath the table. It's also worth looking into small dining tables with a bench – these are actually great space-savers, even if you need to seat four people, because the benches can fit underneath. Or, opt for a folding dining table that you can store and completely fold away when not in use. Look for multifunctional designs, specifically space-saving dining tables with leaves that fold down, especially useful if your dining table doubles up as a work desk during the day. Karen McLaughlin, Head of Category Furniture at Very, explains: 'If your dining area is small or limited, a round table will help keep the space open rather than constricting you and will avoid protruding corners.' A round table can visually free up floor space and, if you choose a glass top (like the clear tempered glass Enzo round dining table from John Lewis), can create the illusion of a bigger room. Circular tables are good for conversation and feel more inclusive, making it easier to talk not just to your immediate neighbours but everyone. Square and rectangular tables will fit into corners, can be pushed against a wall if you don't need to use all sides, and will line up neatly with other furniture.īut round tables are more versatile for compact spaces, like this Scandi-style Odette table from our very own House Beautiful Marketplace.
