Dinette Sets For Small Spaces

Small Dinette Sets With Storage

Finding a dinette set that fits snuggly in a petite kitchen while offering storage ensures your dining space stays organized.

Open shelves make the piece feel less bulky and help the space feel larger. However, a built-in cupboard with a door means you can hide away any mess.

To maximize the space further, opt for a dinette set in a light color such as white. A simple yet classic style with clean lines made from wood adds warmth to every space, whether your decor is modern or traditional.

An Elegant Yet Relaxed Dinette Set

Furniture made for smaller spaces doesn’t need to sacrifice style for the sake of function and space-saving.

Choose a small kitchen set made from quality materials featuring elegant details such as a carved pedestal or a sculpted tripod base to elevate your decor without dominating the space. 

However, elegance and classic design doesn’t have to translate as a stuffy formality; opt for upholstered chairs with arms for comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. Stick with light, neutral colors rather than dark heavy woods that absorb the light in a room.

Picnic Bench Style Dinette Set

Gracie Oaks

If you're looking for a unique dinette set for your home, consider going for a picnic bench-style table. A table with criss-cross legs like those found on a classic picnic bench can add a dynamic shape to your space while still appearing relaxed.

Wood is the ideal material for this kind of sturdy table, but to avoid looking like you brought your garden furniture inside, opt for solid colors such as dark mahogany or white as opposed to a stain. Pair your table with a padded bench or individual chairs upholstered with a sophisticated fabric. 

Dinette Set With Soft Chairs

Pairing a sleek modern dinette table with fully-upholstered chairs is a fashionable trick interior designers use to make an attractive, cozy space that's also incredibly comfortable.

While these larger chairs are not the best for space-saving, their comfort means they are highly versatile. They’re ideal for reading, work, or eating breakfast; this kind of versatility is crucial for small-space living.

Opt for sumptuous velvet upholstery in rich jewel tones or delicate blush for a plush, sophisticated look and optimum comfort. For a more practical option, go for easy-to-wipe-down leather in warm browns.

Space Saving Dinette Set With Tuck In Chairs

When space is an issue, the smaller your table and chairs’ footprint, the better. A hideaway table and chairs that are cleverly designed to tuck in neatly is the perfect choice.

A round or oval table works well, as the chair’s curved back fits perfectly into the rounded table edge and is also comfortable and supportive for your back. 

When selecting your dinette set for small spaces with tuck-in chairs, consider one that also offers a handy storage solution, such as a metal wine rack just beneath the tabletop for storing bottles or baskets with linens, utensils, or condiments.

Country Kitchen Corner Nook Dinette Set

Harriet Bee

An L-shaped corner bench is a fantastic way to make the most of space as it provides maximum seating with a minimal footprint. Bench seating is ideal for big families who need to squeeze as many bodies around the table as possible. You can add extra seating with either matching or contrasting stools.

If storage space is an issue, select a set with useful storage in the bench seats. Add various throw cushions to make your wooden dinette set extra comfortable; switch the covers to change the room’s color scheme.

Cube Style Dinette Set With Stools

Ebern Designs

A dining table with nesting chairs is always an excellent choice for small spaces as they take up much less physical space than chairs with backs. Put a contemporary twist on a traditional round stool by selecting a square-shaped design. 

In addition to looking stylish, square stools paired with a square table are space-saving. The stools can be neatly tucked under the table to create a tidy cube, taking up minimal floor space. Rather than choosing solid cube stools, opt for pieces with open legs as they look visually smaller in the space.

A Small Dinette Set That Makes a Statement

Wade Logan®

You may live in a small space, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a big statement with your furniture. A small dinette set with a unique, contemporary design can set the tone for your room and become a focal point. 

Simple benches are a fantastic accompaniment to a striking table as it provides chic, space-saving seating without dominating the central feature. Keep the benches in the same color materials as the table for stylish simplicity. 

Overly intricate designs can overwhelm small spaces. Stick to modern, minimalist designs and light colors to exaggerate the sense of space and light.

Coffee Shop Style Dinette Set Against the Wall

Laurel Foundry Modern Farmhouse®

Coffee shops offer great inspiration on maximizing your space because they are designed to seat many customers without feeling overcrowded. You may have noticed many coffee shops with high, narrow tables set against the wall; this style creates a relaxed space to eat and takes up minimum floor space.

A pair of cushioned high stools with a footrest are cool and comfortable and can easily be pushed under a counter-style table to reduce the set’s footprint when not in use. Keep the table and stools in one color for a chic touch.

Rustic Bench Dinette Sets

Small kitchen dinette sets with benches are a good seating choice whenever space is an issue because you can typically fit more people around the table than with standard individual chairs. With that in mind, a bench made from solid tropical wood and contrasting industrial-style steel or iron is a wonderfully durable yet stylish option.

The rustic look never goes out of style and suits a relaxed family home. Natural wood is the best material to use to create the rustic style, but manufactured wood with a realistic-looking grain can look fantastic for a much more adorable price tag.
