Secrets to creating an adaptable dining space

Here we unveil the secrets to creating an adaptable dining space.These days, our living spaces are becoming less formal, more adaptable and multi purpose as the cost of real estate in urban areas keeping growing and space becomes more of a luxury, than a given.

 Use rugs as markers for an adaptable dining space

The majority of modern apartments have an open living plan, where the kitchen, dining and living areas are all part of the same space. So it’s important to be able to break up the space and make them into break out or separate areas. An easy way to do this is to start with the floor space and use rugs to create boundaries or focal points on the floor. If you use one rug for your living space in front of the sofa and another for underneath your dining table, this will help create visual boundaries between the spaces.

Flexible lighting

Play around with your lighting options and consider using and moving around different lamps to change up the mood and create focal points depending on how you want to use your space. Your dining table may need to be your home desk for work during the day also, so an angle poise lamp would be a great option. At night, you can turn this off and turn on an overhead pendant light, adding in some chunky unscented candles to transition it into an intimate dinner setting for guests. BoConcept offers a range of sleek and functional lamps and lighting fixtures to suit every occasion.

A bespoke storage solution

A customizable storage solution in your dining space such as the BoConcept Copenhagen wall system is a great way to make the most of your adaptable dining space. It solves two problems, storage what you don’t want out of sight and working to your exact space. From this design, you can create a sideboard, TV unit, bookcase, desk or a combination of all the above! You decide what you need and design your own customized piece in store with the help of our Interior Design Consultants.
