Eat-in kitchens are great solutions for small apartments. Adding a dining space to your kitchen means not having to take up valuable floor space in your living area.
If you’re looking for creative ways to glam up your eat-in-kitchen with a trendy look, here five ideas to help you take your EIK to the next level:
Shift to Counters
It’s common to have a kitchen up against one wall and face the living area. Place a counter with stools between the kitchen and dining room to bring cooking and dining into one location. Combining these elements saves space while also making cooking more social.
Seating for Two
A small table set for two isn’t just romantic – it’s an efficient use of space. Narrow eating spaces are great for everyday eating and don’t clutter up a small space. And if a guest or two comes, it’s easy to pull in a couple more chairs. To make your life easier, we’ve pulled a collection of nice tables and dining sets that fit the criteria.
Folding Tables
Another solution for a tight-spaced kitchen is a table that folds up. Pull your dining space out for meals, and when you need the space, fold the table up and tuck it away out of sight.
Take Advantage of Every Corner
Some kitchens come with a pocket of empty space. Usually, you’re able to add a standard size dining table and chairs into that spot. To break up the monotony of the kitchen, bring in some colorful chairs to add brightness to the area.
Go Round
Round tables allow you to fit even more seating, and they still look stylish. They are a great way to minimize floor space and maximize seating space, where it’s much needed.
Bench Seatings
A really large kitchen – for those lucky enough to have one – is a chance to be creative. Use the walls to add a bench with comfortable pillows and cushions. A bench can be a practical and stylish seating option, and can make for a great dining space with a table and chairs opposite.
