Small-space dining rooms can be big on style and functionality. I’ve seen even the smallest dining rooms serve their purpose well and look great while doing it. The right choices in furniture, color and lighting can make a huge difference. When these elements are chosen smartly, amazing things can happen. Instead of a space being seen as “small,” it will be acknowledged for its great design and even its functionality.
Here are some tips and ideas for decorating small-space dining rooms successfully. All of the following tips can be applied to staging a home for sale, too, to keep buyer’s attention on the space positive and desirable.
