When you don’t have an expansive floor plan, one of the key tenets to follow when planning the layout of your furniture and home décor is the efficient and intelligent use of limited space. But while you can do away with non-essential, bigger pieces such as sectional sofas, heavy bookshelves or large cabinetry, the dining table – arguably one of the largest pieces of furniture in any home – is not just a luxury, but a necessity. From a non-invasive area for a quick video conference, a handy place to supervise homework time, the zone in a party where guests stop to graze on snacks and gossip, to meal times that let you catch up on what’s happening with everyone in your house, the table in your dining room is a core area for social and familial interaction.
So how do you balance functionality and usability with space restrictions? A modern folding dining table helps you do just that. Of course, making an informed choice will help you get it right the first time, and ensure you have a dining table that’s space-efficient and multifunctional, while still enabling you to enjoy an upscale dining room experience.
