Small can be chic. Create the mood of a chic little café by cozying your table up to a wall and adding art and a light fixture. For this look, go for lighter-scale pieces such as the airy table with metal legs and the vintage chairs shown here.

Small can be dramatic. I love the idea of making a big style statement in a small space. In the dining area try playing with scale, choosing a high-back bench flanked by a pair of teensy chairs as shown here.
Lighting note: The best tip I have for defining a small dining space is to install pendant lights above the table. They define the area and (especially if you put the lights on dimmers) allow you to control the mood.

Small can be versatile. A drop-leaf table can work for two in the setup shown here but fits many more when fully extended. To really save space, it can even be pushed flush against the wall when not needed and used as a sideboard with a bar tray on top.

Small can work. Really stuck on where to put a table? Try installing one that mounts onto the wall (or on a kitchen island, as shown here) and folds down when not in use.

Small can be comfy. Often, an upholstered bench does not take up any more room than a pair of chairs, yet feels much more comfortable during leisurely meals and mornings with coffee and the newspaper. Smaller chairs (like the bentwood ones used here) can fill in the other side without taking up much space.

Small can be sleek. Embrace the fresh color palette and lively atmosphere of your favorite café with a tall table and slender chairs. Keep the mood light with a refreshing citrus hue on the walls and a piece of art that makes you smile.
