It’s important to make every design decision count in a small room so you have a space that functions well and meet your dining needs. Here are 16 small dining room ideas for a space you will love!

We have a small dining room that is the most open room in our open-concept home. The goal was to make this small dining area feel bigger than real life, be cohesive with the rest of our home, and look uncluttered. Most importantly, I wanted a fabulous space to sit down for a meal with our family and friends and make memories!

It sounds like a very tall order for a small room, but it can be done easier than you might think! Let’s chat about how to make a small dining room the best room in your home.

Let’s talk about easy and smart tips for creating a beautiful one-of-a-kind area that is the perfect dining room for your small space.

These tips will work in a breakfast room, breakfast nook, or a larger dining area too!

About Our Small Dining Room

When we first moved from StoneGable with its large formal dining room to the Tanglewood House I was at a loss about how to make this space attractive, useful, and a place I would enjoy living in.

I had no idea how to make this new not-so-formal dining room a place we would want to be. This designated area in our open-concept home had a lot to be desired!

There are no full walls in this room and the dining area could almost be part of our open-plan kitchen.

However, I used the following tips and ideas for creating a space I now love! It’s a space where my grandchildren and I color. It’s a place to entertain and have family meals. And best of all it’s a dining room we make memories in.

Even if you don’t have a small dining room many of the tips and ideas work for any size dining room and kitchens too.

Think Big

Start thinking a bit differently about your small dining room. Celebrate your small dining room! Just because it might be smaller than you would like that is no reason not to love your dining space! Think big when it comes to your dining room. Not necessarily in size but in what you want from this room. Think of ways to pack lots of living into this small area. Make a list of all the things you want to do in this room! And don’t let the square footage stop you!

Great design starts with the right state of mind. Think big! A small space feel can be cozy and warm or airy and larger than it is. It all depends on how YOU think about it.

Enact A No-Clutter Rule!

Clutter is a killer!

One thing out of place in a small dining space will get noticed! And not in a good way. Enact a no-clutter rule and be ruthless. Never put anything down on a table or chair or anywhere else in your dining room that does not belong. That way it will stay attractive and lovely to look at and be in.

Keep It Simple

The number one thing to remember when you don’t have a large dining area is to keep it simple!

I like to keep this saying in mind when I decorate any room…

LESS IS BEST DECORATING!

Keep things in a small dining room simple and not fussy. Stay away from busy fabrics, lots of embellishments, and anything too visually heavy.

Unless this space is multifunctional, keep in mind the goal of a dining room. A dining room is for eating, entertaining, lingering, laughing, and making memories. Use these words, or any you choose, to be a guide for what you want your dining room to be. Keep them in mind when you make any decorating decisions for your small dining room.

Don’t Crowd Your Dining Space

Keep furnishings uncluttered and simple and make sure there is lots of negative space in this small area. Any room, but especially a small room needs lots of breathing space! Negative space has an important role to play in the comfort and beauty of any room.

One of the biggest issues most of us face when decorating a small room, like a dining room, is putting too many things in it! Most of us overdecorate our rooms.

We might think we need storage so we put a sideboard or buffet or hutch in a small dining room. However, most of us know that a large piece of furniture might not work! Our need for extra storage like cabinets, and drawers overrides our common sense!

Here’s a little tough decorating love: most small dining rooms are unlikely to accommodate large storage furniture.

Think about adding the basics, a beautiful rug, a table that works, comfortable and well-proportioned chairs, attractive lighting, and a few well-chosen accessories. Unless you have built-in storage you might not be able to add much else. But we will talk about that later.

The bottom line when thinking about what to put in your dining room is to think about the room’s layout. It will dictate what you can or can’t use in this room.

Here’s What We Did

After the shock of moving to a home where the dining room was very undefined, I totally embraced its size! Actually, I made this area my pet makeover!

Since there was no way we could fit a piece of furniture in this space for storage I used the white buffet from StoneGable’s dining room in our living room here at Tanglewood. With the storage in the buffet and the Curlacue chest, also in the living room, I could store napkins, tablecloths, placemats, table runners, and some of my collection of white pedestal cake plates and best silver.

The Tanglewood House is our forever downsized home and I just could not take all the dishes, glasses, linens, and other tableware with me to our downsized home. I had to let a lot go! I gave a lot away and sold the rest.

But the big upside to this endeavor was I created a larger space for living in the now!

If you are downsizing, or live in your forever downsized home, or are thinking about downsizing I highly recommend reading my Downsizing Series. I have so much information and stories and great advice for the downsized lifestyle! And lots of readers who have downsized have added their best advice too.

Choose The Right Table

A dining table should be the focal point of a small dining room. It is probably the largest and most prominent piece of furniture in a dining room.

When choosing the right size furniture you should be thinking about scale and proportion. Decorating is all about choosing furniture that is the right size for a space, and the right size in relation to the other things you have in a room.

I like to call on Goldilocks when talking about size. In her story, she was looking for a bed that was not too big and not too small but “just right”. And so should we. We need to find items for a dining room that are just right! That could mean using a narrow dining table in a narrow dining room. Or a round table that fits a dining room and has a couple of leaves.

If you have a small dining room make sure your table is the right proportion. You can see a very helpful post Why Are Scale And Proportion So Important When I Decorate. This post is very informative and will help you make the best furniture choices for a small dining room.

Consider A Round Table

When choosing and using a dining table in a small dining room, consider a round or oval table. The lack of corners makes it easier to add more people around the table.

Choose An Expandable Table

A drop leaf table is a great option for a small dining room. One or both sides of a drop leaf table are hinged and can be folded down to create a narrow table. Also, a table that has extension leaves can be lengthened to accommodate more people. Then the leaves can be removed so the table is the original size.

Here’s What We Did

We chose a 60-inch round table for our small dining room that can sit 6 people very comfortably. And 8 people if we want to be cozy. A round table is perfect for this small room and when we have extra guests we add a leaf to the table and we can sit 10 or 11.

We chose a round table wood table with a slightly distressed top and a painted bottom for our dining room. It’s the perfect choice for this very open room. This table has a Transitional style. Classic traditional styling with more modern finishes.

This table is similar to ours.

Using A Banquet Or Booth

One popular small dining room option right now is to use a banquet or a booth in lieu of a dining room table. These unique dining tables and chairs are so visually pleasing and they can handle seating 6 to 8 people depending on the footprint of the dining room or kitchen.

A banquet can fit in the corner of a room with built-in seating at a 90-degree angle. A table then is placed in front of the banquet and more seating is added on the other side. This creates a dining nook that is cozy and intimate.

Another way to add a banquet is with a corner bench and a round table. This is a cozy look for a very small dining room or a nook for a kitchen.

A Banquet is a creative and charming solution to a very small dining area!

A booth can be set up in the middle of a room or in a corner. A booth is a table flanked on either by a seating. It’s most common to see a settee or small couch on one side of the table and a bench on the other. But any combination of bench and settees, small couches, and chairs will look delightful.

A small dining room is a perfect spot for these cozy options.

Use The Right Size Rug

It’s so important to define the space in a small area, especially in an open and small dining room like mine. A rug gives the illusion of boundaries and grounds the space. Rugs help create a cohesive dining room look and should also work with the rest of your home.

A rug should be centered directly under your table. And most often in the center of your dining room.

What Is The Best Rug For A Dining Room

There are a few things to look for when choosing a dining room rug. First, if you are choosing a rug that is not wall-to-wall carpeting you will want to choose something that will protect your floors. A rug in a dining room should protect the floors underneath it from chairs scraping.

It should also stand up to spills and stains and aesthetically enhance the look of a dining room.

Rug Measurements You Should Know

Above all other rug decisions, choosing the right size rug for your small dining room is the most important.

Many home decorators make the same mistake I did when we moved into Tanglewood. I got a rug that was too small for the table and the room! I was so concerned that a bigger rug would stick out into one of the high-traffic areas of our home.

There is an easy rule of thumb for choosing the right rug for a dining room no matter the size. A dining room rug should be 24 to 30 inches or longer on all four sides of your dining table. If the layout of your room permits, try to choose a rug that is closer to 30 inches longer.

Always Use A Rug Pad

Rug pads should be used under a dining room rug. They protect a rug from slipping, extend the life of a rug, reduce noise, and add another layer of softness under foot. A rug pad is a bonus layer to prevent heavy table legs from damaging the floors too.

Here’s What We Did

I learned the hard way! The smaller rug I first chose for the dining room looked odd! So I exchanged the rug for a larger one and it looked so so much better!

My best tip is to choose an indoor/outdoor rug for this area. These rugs have come a long way! I had one in our StoneGable dining room for almost 20 years and passed it down to our daughter-in-law. These rugs are low pile, perfect for a dining room that we use a lot.

The rug we now have in the dining room is the best of all worlds. Attractive, low pile, and takes abuse. We recently wiped up a bowl of spaghetti that one of my grandsons dropped on this light-colored rug.

A rug creates warmth, texture, color, and beauty in a room. So don’t skimp on the rug!

The Right Chairs

One way you can add a bit of interest to a small dining room is by mixing and matching the furniture in it. A matched set can be a bit boring in a small room! However, by choosing a different table and chairs you can add lots of interest!

The first thing to look for in a dining chair is comfort. Will the chairs you choose be comfortable for a diner to sit in for a whole evening? Will the chair fit under the table comfortably with a diner sitting in it? Are the chairs sturdy enough to be moved back and forth under the weight of someone at your table? Our goal is to choose chairs that make family and friends sit around a dining room table the most comfortably.

Choosing a chair that has the right proportion to the size of your table and the size of your room is another important thing to consider. It’s probably a good idea to choose a slimmed-down chair that is still comfortable and checks all the other boxes too!

Pay attention to details on an upholstered chair. Every understated detail works to create an updated and more expensive look. Think of tufted backs, nailhead detailing, and turned legs to name a few. Opt for these pretty details instead of patterns on a chair.

The other things to consider when choosing a dining room chair are style, color, and personal preferences. All of these things and more go into choosing the right chair for your small dining room.

Chair Measurements To Consider

To sit comfortably at a 30-inch high table choose a seat height between 18 and 23 inches high. There should be a clearance of 10 to 12 inches between the seat height and the top of a table.

Here’s What We Did

For me, choosing upholstered chairs with an ample back was the perfect choice! I’ve sat on one too many wooden chairs during long meals. And as I get older, I would rather not!

Many small dining rooms, like mine, don’t have the space for extra chairs that are often needed when having guests. When family comes we often sit 11 people around our extended dining room table. I must admit, I have a huge collection of chairs in our basement I just could not let go. So we bring up two or three upholstered chairs and use acrylic stacking chairs for the rest of our diners.

Our chairs are very comfortable and have some nice detailing. I am especially fond of the gold nailhead trim. Also, the black legs help the chairs to stand out (no pun intended) against the neutral rug.

Even though these acrylic chairs are not upholstered they are quite comfortable and sturdy. Mostly we use them for our grandchildren. They are sturdy, able to have a booster seat attached to them, and can be wiped clean of anything (literally anything) our babies can trow on it with all-purpose kitchen spray. I love my grandchildren but I will not let them sit in our upholstered dining room chairs. Even if they are easy to clean up too.

When dinner is done the acrylic can be stacked four-high and returned to the basement. The acrylic makes them look visually light and airy! This keeps my dining room even more uncluttered.

Other Chair Ideas To Consider

You might like to think about using a bench on one side of a small rectangular table. Make sure it is upholstered and let the youngest at your table sit on it.

We have a rush bench with a custom upholstered cushion that we slide into use when our table is extended. Two small kids can easily sit on this bench. A stool can also be used, but keep it for the kids. No adult wants to sit on a stool.

In a pinch, we have pulled our bar stools to the table for extra seating for a large gathering of family.

Other Furniture To Consider In A Small Dining Room

There are other pieces of accent furniture to use in a small dining room that will look a whole lot less cluttered than larger items.

A stool with a plant on it in a corner of the dining room will add a pop of color and bring life into this area. Also, a small bench would look nice added to a small dining room.

If you have the room think about adding a narrow console table to your small dining area. It is a multipurpose piece that is decorating gold. You can add lamps to a console for more light and other accents to enhance the visual interest of the room. And a big plus is a console table can be used as a serving station or drink bar.

Likewise, a bar cart would be a spectacular addition to a small dining room. And can be used for all the reasons listed earlier about the console table.

You can also position an accent chair in a small dining room if you have the room.

It is best, however, not to overdecorate. Remember, most of us will try to cram in too many times in a room. Less is best when it comes to decorating a small room!

Here’s What We Did

We added a small upholstered bench, as stated above, to our dining room. It is tucked under the window which does not detract or hide the view outside. There is plenty of room to get around it and it is often called into action as extra seating for our little ones.

At one time, I added a bar cart to the corner of the dining room. I desperately wanted another small piece of furniture in that room that had multifunctional use. However, in my heart of hearts, I knew that it crowded the space and was not particularly pleasing. So I purchased three other bar carts in various sizes and returned them. The final and savvy conclusion is no bar cart will work in my dining room. And after making peace with that fact, I’m fine with just the bench as an extra small piece of furniture.

Choose Wall Art And Mirrors Carefully

Now let’s add some personality, your personality, to your dining room.

Choosing art is such an individual thing! Choose art carefully so it enhances and does not overwhelm a small dining area.

In most small dining rooms the wall space, or vertical space, will give you plenty of room to work with. The idea is to draw the eye up and give it something interesting to look at.

And in the case of adding a mirror we want to reflect the room making the room appear more spacious. A mirror will also make a dining room feel bright and airy.

Here again, it’s better to go bigger than small, and less is best. Choose art you love and show it off. A small dining space can handle one large mirror as well.

Here’sWhat We Did

Our dining room has only two narrow walls in it. There are the only walls I can hang something on,

Because we live in the beautiful and historic farmlands of Lancaster Co. we hung two large antique shutters from a farmhouse on each wall. The shutters are beautifully authentic and aged and pay homage to the special place we live. We brought these shutters with us from StoneGable when we moved three and a half years ago.

I have thought many times about taking them down and putting large scones on these narrow walls or adding wallpaper to large frames and hanging it on the walls but the shutters tell a story that other items cannot.

Other Things To Hang On The Walls

There is so much to choose from when thinking about what would look nice and add to the beauty of a dining room. Art and mirrors are the obvious choices. However, if you want to think out of the box a bit think about hanging baskets, architectural pieces, a grouping of plates, or a gallery of small mirrors.

Here’s a good place to mount a few shelves to place your favorite smaller pictures or dishes or a plant or two. Just make sure the shelf depth is narrow and they add to the overall look of the room.

Wallpaper is wildly popular right now and can look charming in a small dining room. It can make it feel cozy and give a dining room that jewel box feel. Choose wallpaper that works with your color palette and does not make your room feel busy.

A small dining room is probably not the space to wallpaper just one wall or add an accent wall. However, adding molding or wallpaper or painting the ceiling of a dining room might look amazing! It would certainly draw the eye up!

Remember anything you hang on your walls should enhance the beauty and style of your dining room.

Curtains And Blinds

Curtains and blinds add a layer of softness and style to a room. They can be both decorative and functional. Choose curtains that work with the style of your room and your color palette.

My mantra for hanging curtains is, “Hang them high and drop them low”. This means hanging curtains as high up on the wall as possible and let them at least touch the floor. I like my curtains to puddle just a little. You can have a beautiful room with all the right furnishings but if you have curtains that are not hung properly, they will detract from the appearance of the entire room.

Today’s window treatments are most often simple drapes that hang from ceiling to floor with little embellishments. If you have layers of window treatments in a small dining room, take them down and opt for something less fussy. Your whole room will look better.

Here’s What We Did

In our dining room, we have nine-foot ceilings and one large window I did not want to cover up during the day.

I hung off-white curtains with a horizontal stripe on either side of the window with a brushed nickel curtain rod almost to the ceiling. And let the curtains pool on the floor a bit.

Then we hung light-filtering cellular shades that retract up to the framework of the window that can be pulled down at night. We chose a white color so the color blended into the walls. This was an easy and economical privacy solution for us.

Lighting A Small Dining Area

A small dining room benefits from being gloriously lit up by natural light or a wonderful chandelier or pendant light! Light always makes a room look better, brighter, more open, bigger, and lighter!

Most of us look at what’s on our table when it comes to a dining room. But draw the eyes up by adding a lighting fixture worth looking at!

Choose a fabulous chandelier or pendant light over the center of your table.

What To Do If Your Ceiling Outlet Is Not Over Your Table?

This is a common problem especially if you move into a home with the electrical box in the center of a room. It’s great when you want to hang your chandelier in the center of your room. However what if the electrical box is not placed over your table?

The most professional look is to have it removed and placed where you want it. But that can be very expensive.

The most common solution that works great and looks nice is to swag lighting on a chair or rope, depending on the look you are going for, over your table. This works especially well in a small dining room since the swag will probably not be long.

Chandelier Measurements

Here is a good rule of thumb for how large you will want a chandelier to be over a table. Measure your table and choose a chandelier one-half to three-quarters the length and width of your dining table. And hangn it 30-32 inches above your table.

This is just a rule of thumb and not written in stone. Sometimes an oversized lighting fixture will look stunning in a small dining room. Just make sure that when diners sit and then go to stand they don’t hit their head on the fixture.

And always put your lighting on a dimmer so you can adjust the mood!

Here’s What We Did

The electrical box was in the center of our dining room and we centered our table under it. When we first moved in I tried three different lighting fixtures and sent back two. Eventually, I chose a large half-dome seagrass pendant light for our dining room. With white walls, this lighting fixture brings in lots of texture and a comfortable, natural feel. It works in juxtaposition with the table and the chairs and makes the room look a little more inviting.

I think I just might change out this fixture for the fall and winter months and am loving the look of this traditional chandelier with a modern twist. And I might use a different neutral fabric on the shades.

The pendant light is the only ambient light we have in our dining room. But it is ample.

Other Lighting Options For A Dining Room

One of my favorite things to put on a wall is a sconce. And sconces look so beautiful in a dining room. The work flanked a smaller piece of art or a diminutive mirror to give them a bit more presence and beauty.

I go back and forth about removing the shutters on my wall and adding sconces. I even purchased these (LOVE) sconces but decided they would look best on either side of the new big picture we hung over the mantel.

Candles can add a little golden ambiance light to a dining room. Don’t forget to use them, especially in a small dining room. We have faux candles of various types on remote timers so we have a lovely flickering glow of candlelight in the evening and after dark. In a dining room with limited square footage, candlelight looks especially fetching.

Unless you have a small piece of furniture to put extra lighting on, a chandelier, pendant light, or natural light through a window will be your only source of lighting.

Choosing Accents and Details

Accent decor is the details in a room that take it from having good bones to being infused with your style, personality, and things you love.

And this is the part of decorating most of us enjoy the most.

In a small room, it is important to add enough accents to make this room your own space. To make it look lovely and stylish to you.

I always say, “Do what you love”!

But here are a few guidelines for choosing accent decor in a small room. The prime piece of decorating real estate will most likely be your dining room table. It is the largest surface in a room and the perfect place to create a focal point.

Again, I’m going to stress less is best. And bigger is better.

A dining room table no matter the size of a room should have beautiful, cohesive, and stand-out decor on it most of the time. One big vase of flowers, real or faux, and a couple of candles. Or an impressive bowl with fruit or vegetables.

There are times, especially when company’s coming when you might call your table into service and create a more elaborate centerpiece to serve food buffet style. Or other times when a dining room table will be used to serve nibbles and drinks.

But most of the time a dining room table should have one big showstopper focal point piece on it with a few candles for ambiance.

Here’s What We Did

We keep our accents in this room very simple. A burlap table runner for texture, flowers, or a bowl of something and candles. Also, I put a pillow on a chair and on the bench when I know it won’t be in use.

Occasionally I’ll off-road from this formula to make a big statement for a party or holiday dinner or other special events.

About Fabrics In A Small Dining Room

Fabrics play a big role in the look and feel of a dining room. Fabrics add warmth, pattern, color, texture and enhance our style.

In a small dining room, the choice of fabrics is one of the items you will have to pay close attention to. Since the walls, ceilings, woodwork, wooden chairs, table, and windows are hard surfaces we need to add soft furnishings to make the room look cozy and appealing.

Choosing A Color Palette

Every room in your home should have a meticulously chosen color palette. Especially, in a small room. Choose any color from the tints and tones of the shades in your color palette. Choose colors and patterns that coordinate well. The smaller a room is the less busy the fabric should be unless you are gifted at choosing and coordinating fabrics.

Here’s What We Did

Our dining room is light and airy and neutral. To create this effect I chose upholstered chairs in a very light neutral beige with cooler undertones. The rug is a silvery tone that is a bit warm. So the upholstered chairs and rug, although different colors work together.

The curtains are off-white with a thin warm sand color horizontal stripe. I accented this room with a bench upholstered in a gold and white geometric design.

There are a lot of different textures in the fabric in the dining room. The rug has dimensional white splotches, the chairs have a linen look and the curtains have a horizontal stripe. Super easy because this room can be seen from so many other rooms I did not want it calling too much attention to itself. Instead, I wanted it to be calm and serene.

Storage In A Small Dining Room

The one big thing that most small dining rooms are short on, is storage!

If you can add a console to a small dining room choose one with drawers and a bottom shelf. Or if a bar cart would look nice without looking crowded make sure it has three flat surfaces to use.

Here’s What We Did

There is a fine line between what we need and what we want in a room.

In the case of our dining room what I wanted won out. I wanted a beautiful, calm, spacious-looking room we could eat and linger in. What I needed but really could not have was more space.

So I did not mind that I had to walk a few extra steps to get the things I needed from the white buffet in the living room and the Curlacue chest. I also have a basement the footprint of our home and had utility shelves installed to put extra dishes and silverware and linens on.

So I have made the best of the “no space” dilemma.

Style To Create A Look

Style is a personal thing. It is specific to the aesthetics you create to achieve a certain one-of-a-kind look. Style is influenced by what we see, our preferences, trends, classic design, and the sum total of our experiences.

You want your own style to shine through every room you decorate. Even if that room is small. The great thing about style is that everyone has a style, even if they don’t think so. But the not-so-great thing about style is it takes time to develop!

Take the time to work on creating a dining room that has your own personal style stamp on it!

Here’s What We Did

I struggled with my style in our Tanglewood House. I could decorate my StoneGable home in my sleep. I know my style and decorating were so easy for me. However, decorating this home has taken three years to make it feel like me. I have always said, “It takes about three years to get to know a new home”. Hmmm, I guess I was right!

The dining room, the smallest room in our home was the most difficult for me to decorate! Because of its location and the lack of walls and its size, it took a long time to understand that this was the room that was the glue that held the rest of our home’s color palette and style together.

Keeping it minimal, and neutral was the key. This can be the quiet room with one big fabulous centerpiece. The rest of the rooms can play off of it. Because it is calm I can add more color to the sunroom or have a boldly patterned rug in the living room. I can have an all-white kitchen with shiny surfaces because I have lots of texture and softness in our tiny dining room.

Friends, I purchased three dining tables for this room and sent two back. I tried three different types of chairs and sent two back and have had four chandeliers in this room and yes, sent 2 back and sold the one that came with the house.

Last Words About Dining Rooms

Many of these tips are not just for small dining rooms. They will work for larger spaces too. Good design tips work no matter what the size!

Remember you are really never done decorating. I know I’m not. I’m sure I’ll find new ways to express my style in this dining room and other rooms in our home.

The most important thing to remember about dining rooms big or small is to use them. Gather family and friends around your table! Deepen relationships and make memories!
