If you need a bigger table sometimes but your space is small, an extendable one like this VIHALS table could be perfect. You can have more guests at dinner or let your hobby stuff spread out. Here, the VIHALS chairs match the table perfectly. Plus, they’re stackable, so they take up less space when not in use.

With a pendant, you can light up the table so everyone can see everything. It can also create a cosy room within a room feeling. Here we used a dimmable bulb from a TRÅDFRI starter kit in the lamp. You can adjust the light – and set the mood – with the remote control from the kit without getting up from your seat.

With all the different things happening in the dining room, there’s lots of stuff to store. Open shelves give you easy access storage. While the pinewood IVAR cabinets with their calming closed doors can store a lot right up to the ceiling and even leave space for a storage box on wheels underneath.
