In small studios and spacious two-bedroom apartments, designers together with the owners sometimes choose alternative solutions for the dining group. We show by examples!

A dining table is an optional component of the kitchen. Sometimes designers in projects make bar counters or island structures. Moreover, for different customers: not only young people living alone, but also families are asking for such a replacement.

1 Bright kitchen in a family apartment

In this project of Svetlana Kapustina, the kitchen is part of the living room, and one of the elements that separates the two zones is the bar counter. By the way, this decision to replace the table with a rack was one of the mandatory wishes of customers at the start of work with the project. And, of course, it was fulfilled.

2 Kitchen in a small studio

Designer Denis Tarasenko created this project for a young couple. In a small studio with a total area of 24 meters, they decided to place a bedroom and kitchen area. And to save space, the table was replaced with a bar counter. However, this corresponded to the wishes and lifestyle of the owners, who aspired to a compact kitchen.

This apartment designed by Anton and Denis Yurov was created for a young man. A bedroom and a kitchen were allocated on a small area, which was combined with a recreation area and a workplace. The dining table was abandoned and replaced by a bar counter, which also separates the kitchen from the work table. It turned out to be compact and functional.
