Many new homes are moving away from the traditional dining room or the room has been reclaimed for other spaces like a home office or a play room that are more attuned to how a family functions from day to day. The latter is by far a better space solution if you don’t use the dining room and it remains empty for a large part of the time.
But what can we do when we have a family gathering or dinner party?
When the weather is good, sitting outside is great for entertaining.
But when the weather is poor or getting a bit too chilly to sit outdoors, we have to get a bit more creative.
Using the bay window that has a window seat adds a few more seats much like buffet bench seating.
Shifting a table (kitchen table or a few end tables together) in front of the couch and bringing in the arm chairs adds a sense of luxury to your dinner party.
If you have a kitchen island with stools, why not have a kitchen party?

This remarkable table hides in plain sight…..well sort of. Fold it up and it is out of the way until you need it again next time without infringing any floor space or bulky storage.
