Ideas for small dining area

Our dining room is rather small - that main wall there is approx 2.4m wide (no wall paper anymore, it is just plain white).
On the right side there is the living room but we have a baby gate right across and it opens from the centre of the gate.
On the left side is a glass sliding door to the backyard. And the photo was taken from the kitchen. So as you can see there needs to be space for traffic flow.
Our family is growing as we are expecting baby number 4. The table we have there now suffices but I think we may need more dining space. I am trying to think of different layouts/tables that allow more space.
We also have family that visit often but i realise it wouldn't be possible to accommodate everyone at the dining table at the same time.
Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoWe have a very small kitchen and had purchased a drop leaf table similar to the one below. The leaf slides back under the main table when not needed. Store your extra chairs elsewhere and bring out for guests. You could probably keep your present chairs and look for similar chairs to match. I would remove your carpet, as it makes the room look smaller and doesn't compliment the wallpaper. [houzz=]

9 years agobanquette a good idea.....along with a Country Gear Ltd. Folding Console Table picture attached...we build to size and finish..a trestle base table works best for banquette seating...allowing easy slide in and out. Table top folds over like a book when not in use.
hope this helps
