An extra small Scandi dining room with a fresh and playful style

Get inspired with this tiny dining room’s joyful Scandi style and smart storage solutions. The white base combined with primary colours makes the space appear larger, giving it a playful and light feel. A flexible, space-saving dining table and thoughtful placement of furniture make everyday life flow in this small (and happy) space.

Get the colourful Scandi style with primary colours

Light wood, white and pops of red and blue define the style of this small dining room. The key is not to oversaturate with colour – here we chose two primary colours. We also used furniture with thin forms for an airy look. The flexible gateleg table, which can store extra chairs, is great for small spaces.

Practical storage that adds to the look

This shelving unit is used as a room divider while providing storage that is accessible from both sides. The punchy blue storage combination is a strong statement piece, but also very practical for storing tableware. Pro tip: group tableware in neat formations for an uncluttered look.

Create a cosy nook

We optimised this window ledge by creating a cosy nook for relaxing on your own, or as extra seating when needed. Bold, patterned textiles combined with solid coloured ones create a vibrant yet balanced look.

Get ready to party

It’s a small space, yes. But it’s always ready for a good celebration. You can move the table close to the window to make room for extra seats, pull out the extra chairs, and roll in the trolley – which is great for storage – that is used as a cake cart for this special day. Enjoy!
