Not sure how to best fill an empty living room corner? Consider placing your dining table there as Hattie Kolp did. Even if your space only allows room for two chairs, the end result is far better than eating every meal at the coffee table. Finish off the look like Kolp did by adding a fun light fixture and some eye-catching art.

 To help tie your dining space in with the rest of the living room, dress it up with cozy textiles as Sarah Jacobson did. No guest will mind plopping into a chair flanked with soft sheepskin, that’s for sure.

 Marianne Sides realized that by rearranging a few pieces of furniture around in her living room, she could carve out a little dining spot after all. So, look around your space and strategically evaluate your configuration before ruling out the possibility of a table altogether. A corner that’s currently housing a plant or accent chair can easily be converted into a dining nook.

 Don’t shy away from decorating your dining nook, even if it’s quite small. Lowe Saddler brought this corner of her home to life through the use of dried flowers, beautiful pendant lighting, a mirror, and even a disco ball. The sky is truly the limit.

 Liz Malm painted an arch next to her dining table, which serves a division of space of sorts while adding an artistic touch, of course. Creatively positioning her sofa to section off the living room makes a major impact.

 There’s no reason you can’t make the most of unused kitchen space and place a small bistro table in the corner. Maximize seating potential by incorporating a small dining bench like Nicole Blackmon did—it takes up much less room than an additional chair and looks very chic.
