In a compact living space, every piece of furniture should offer more than one function. A versatile table can be a game-changer, serving multiple purposes while saving valuable space. Here’s how to use a single table (our beautiful Lexi table) as a dining table, an end table, and a hall table – maximizing utility and style in your home. It’s time to go back indoors and FALL in love with your home all over again! – photos by Janis Jean
End Table
Transforming your dining table into an end or side table is perfect for multifunctional living spaces. This setup works especially well in small living rooms or as a bedside table.
Features to Consider:
- Height and Proportion: Ensure the table’s height and size are suitable for its new role. An end table should be roughly the same height as the arm of a sofa or the height of the bed.
- Aesthetic Adaptations: Add decorative elements such as a table lamp, a vase, or candles to make it blend with the rest of your furniture.
Hall Table
In a small entryway or hallway, a table can serve as a stylish and functional hall table. This use often requires a table that fits comfortably against the wall and offers practical features.
Features to Consider:
- Slim Design: Choose a table with a narrow profile to avoid obstructing the flow of
the hallway. - Design Tip: Add decorative books, candles, flowers or a small bowl on top for everyday items like keys and sunglasses. Add a touch of elegance.
Dining Table
For most small homes or apartments, the dining table is essential for meals and social gatherings. Even in a compact space, you can choose a table that fits your needs without overwhelming the room.
Features to Consider:
- Size and Shape: A round or compact rectangular table works well in tight spaces.
- Style and Material: Choose a design that complements your overall décor. The Lexi table is made from aluminum, and has beautiful architectural lines adding visual interest to any space.
