Have you noticed the recent crop of chic dining room tables for small spaces that are hitting the market? In the midst of the popular open-concept trend, kitchens with large countertops and living/play spaces seem to be giving dining rooms the shaft. And with more families choosing location over space and opting to raise kids in cities or getting in on the tiny-home trend, small dining room tables have become a must.
Don’t fret over your small space. Fewer possessions and less square footage to clean? Yes, please. And gathering the brood around the table for a meal is a good thing—it promotes conversation and serves as a reminder of your family values. So, pull up a chair to one of these cool dining room tables for small spaces.

Dining Room Tables For Small Spaces
Carlisle Extendable Table From Joss & Main
Extendable tables are a great option if you have frequent dinner guests in your small space. But while most tables with leaves are rectangular or square, I love the look of an expandable round table like this one. You can comfortably fit up to six people when fully extended, but it presents way smaller and takes up less space in its standard configuration as shown.

Compass Dining Table From CB2
Okay, let's be honest. If you have kids, your home doesn't look this white and bright. But at least your table can! I love the modern pop of style this table lends to a small space, and the fact that it's white makes it a blank canvas for any kind of funky chairs you want to use.
