Tiny houses, small apartments, and downsizing personal accommodations have become popular in recent years. Keeping your living space small saves on heating and cooling costs, as well as helps you make a smaller footprint in the world. But fitting a full-sized dinette set into a tiny kitchen or dining area leaves little room for anything else. Specially designed dinette sets for small spaces can be the answer.

What are the best designs of dinette sets for small spaces?

Three-Legged Chairs and Matching Table. Square chairs hardly ever fit a round table, so three-legged chairs with their triangular shape are the perfect answer. When not in use, they fit neatly under the table, their wedge shapes fitting perfectly together.
Table with corner chairs - Who says that table legs must be at the corners? This uniquely designed table has its legs in the middle of each side, and the chair backs fit neatly around the corners of the square table top. They push in completely when not in use, the backs presenting an attractive wood grain surface.
Bistro table with two chairs. Elegant little table with two chairs, perfect for a breakfast corner or picture window. Another nice design for two.
Drop leaf island table with two backless stools. Perfect for the tiny kitchen that has no room for a large table or chairs, or to create an island where the cook can rest and have a cup of tea while waiting for water to boil or something to bake.
Standard, central leg drop-leaf table - While not as compact or innovative as some of the other examples, the drop leaf saves space when the full table top is not required.
Small round table with stackable chairs - Once the family is out the door, there’s no need to have four chairs taking up space. Colorful chairs of molded plastic mounted on a metal frame ease space consideration when table and chairs are not in use.
Built-in table with molded plastic seats - Give a space-age look to your built-in dining island with rolling stools that have molded plastic seats. You’ll be looking for the Wookie and the crazy space-age band with these sleek stool-type seats.

With creative, innovative designs, it’s not difficult to save space with dinette sets for small spaces. Some small dinette sets are truly unique, while others are simply diminutive copies of larger furnishings. They can come in wood, glass, plastic or metal and can mix and match with almost any décor. All you need to add is your unique take on how your kitchen or dining area should look.

Questions & Answers

Why should I choose a dinette set over ordinary dining room furniture?

Producers of dinette sets have three things in mind – aesthetics, space management and utility. This makes dinette sets absolute lifesavers for anyone with not enough space – if you couldn’t possibly fit ordinary dining furniture, dinette sets will work great – they are much more space efficient, and just as pretty!

What about the price?

Dinette sets for small spaces are usually much smaller than ordinary dining furniture, which means that there are far fewer materials used to produce them. This leads to generally lower prices.

I’d like to get myself a dinette set, but I’m worried about the quality. Are dinette sets stable?

Of course they are! Dinette sets are produced from quality materials, which ensures quality and durability. As producers care about the utility, they are usually easy to clean and maintain. A proper dinette set is just as long lasting as any other dining room furniture.

Would you suggest a dinette set for someone who values aesthetics?

Certainly. Dinette sets consist of a table and between 2 and 4 matching chairs, which are usually hidden underneath the table in a very gentle fashion. As it is crucial for small spaces to not be cluttered, such a set is not only a great addition on its own, but also helps to keep the room tidy and airy.

Which materials are the most popular in the case of dinette sets?

Anything you’d see fit for ordinary dining room furniture will work just as good for dinette sets. This means that wood, light metal constructions and even plastic ones are all a great choice.

I have a hard time deciding the color for my dinette set… could you help me with that?

Dinette sets should be unnoticeable and elegant. Especially in the case of smaller spaces, and dinette sets are designed for such, the best bet is to go for light, subtle colors, which won’t overwhelm the interior, and will allow you to keep the room airy and fresh.

What size is an average dinette set?

The tables are usually between 24 and 36 inches in diameter. Still, check the exact parameters before you make your purchase. Also, remember that you will need some extra space to accommodate the chairs and then some for the clearance. A standard square table is between 36 and 40 inches wide.
