Dining Room

Whether you have a small nook adjacent to your kitchen or a formal dining area, you’ll need storage options to keep the room tidy and uncluttered. Here are some of our favorite ideas on types of storage that master the dining space without feeling too congested: 


Convertible Dining Tables
This is an excellent option for those with limited real estate in the dining room. There are a number of options, including foldable murphy tables and convertible bookshelves-to-table designs.

Shelves
We recommend looking at bookcases as accent pieces to help organize your dining wares and linens. They can even act as dividers within open-concept homes. You can also consider wall-to-wall or staggered floating shelves for storage and decor.

Credenzas
Low to the ground and simplistic compared to sideboards and buffets, credenzas offer ample storage with their cabinetry design.

Sideboards
Similar to a credenza but larger in height and size, sideboards typically have longer legs and offer drawer space.

Buffet Tables
These tables are perfect for those who love to play host. The buffet table’s height is counter-level and has enough surface space to serve food.

Traditional Hutch
Hutches offer storage from top to bottom. Most offer solid cabinet doors on the bottom, while the top has glass panel doors to showcase decor and fine dining wares.
Banquette & Storage Bench
Low on space outside a table and seating? Consider making a corner dining space with storage under a banquette. Or choose a bench for seating with hidden storage underneath.

Double-Duty Kitchen Island
For kitchens with limited counter space, consider investing in a kitchen island. It’ll also increase your storage space with shelves, drawers, or cabinets below for your dining tools, placemats, and linen.
