My house is fairly small (1090 sq. ft.). We plan to move soonish but probably not this year, so we struggle to figure out ways to live in our small space. One thing that is eluding us right now is a dining table- there's no room for it in the kitchen (we also have to have a crate for a large dog) and we don't have a dining room, so right now we just don't have one. But I miss eating together at an actual table. I tried to solve this one once before by purchasing a dog crate that goes under a nice table, but it doesn't really work since you can't put your legs under it.
My latest idea is to use a low coffee table and big pillows for seats. I actually really like this idea, but to be honest, I prefer the LR without a coffee table since it makes it seem bigger. So I would want the low table to be able to be put away when not in use, and I'm having trouble finding something that meets that criteria.
Would love to hear ideas for space-saving solutions for this and any other aspect of apartment or small-home living! What are your space issues? Let's solve them together.
