Renting an apartment can come with some limitations. Most places will have a small kitchen with no real room for a dining area. We’ve put together our top 10 ways to create a “dining room” in any space for hosting parties or for everyday use. Check out these space-saving design ideas for your apartment, small space, or breakfast nook.
Space Saving Dining Table
This dining set gives an industrial feel with seating for four and your choice of color options between Drift Brown, Gray, and Rustic Brown. Its compact design gives you back floor space you didn’t know you had.
Hidden Desk
This desk is a major space saver. It triples as a bookshelf, desk, and dining area so you can get the most out of your living area. This piece comes in a light and airy birch tone or a more romantic, deep walnut and measures 64 inches high.
Hybrid Chair with Swivel Desk
This hybrid chair and desk can be used in a multi-functional way. Great for working or schooling or sharing a meal, having a few of these chairs in your home will create an instant dining area for all to enjoy together. Choose between black or dark grey to fit your aesthetic.
Raising Desk on Wheels
Our favorite part of this is that it’s on wheels AND includes a storage compartment! The wheels give you the freedom to move out of the way and keep your place feeling open. Use as a desk during the day and store your desk items inside to use as a table for mealtimes to truly get full use of this design.

Ah, the classic TV tray! These foldable tables can easily be set up for everyone to have their own spot. This option comes in espresso, black or light wooden tone to match your home and includes its own storage rack for easy storage.

Enjoy bistro dining with a marble-laminated table and two fabric stools, built to last using a solid pinewood base. Perfect for your kitchen, dining room, or home bar. Pick your favorite color combo between light grey/white, beige/light brown, or gray/dark brown.
Yaheetech 3-in-1 Coffee Table
Three in one! This coffee table’s tabletop can be easily and quietly lifted and moved forward to create a decent workspace or dining space while sitting on your sofa. The storage compartment concealed under the top keeps your often-used items handy yet out-of-sight. And has three cube open shelves for more room for storing and displaying books, plants, or other items you may like. Comes in five color options.
“Murphy-Bed” Style Table
This modern folding wall-mounted piece can be used as a desk or dining space and features a cabinet for storing other items.
