A modern Scandinavian dining room in a shared student home

Sharing a home means making the most of every inch, and this dining area does just that. A clever combination of a gateleg table, stackable stools and fold-out chairs turns a tight space into a versatile gathering spot, ready for both quick meals and lively evenings with friends.

Where lazy mornings meet midnight deadlines

Some days, the kitchen table is for quick meals. Other days, it’s the center of everything – group projects, birthdays, late-night catch-ups. The IBBARBO stool is always ready, stacking neatly away until extra guests arrive. With its three-legged design, it never wobbles, even on uneven floors – because in a shared home, flexibility isn’t a luxury, it’s survival.

Thoughtful design brings it all together. The off-white rug subtly connects the dining area with the oak-effect kitchen, creating a sense of flow between cooking and dining. The white table and chairs keep the space feeling bright and open, while the plants add warmth. A well-planned space makes small living easier, proving that size is never a limitation – only an opportunity for smart solutions.

Functional storage for plates, glasses, and good times

An organized space doesn’t have to mean hiding everything away. The LÅDMAKARE storage combination makes storage part of the room, keeping things accessible while creating a relaxed, effortless style. The open-back design keeps the space from feeling boxed in, so plates, glasses, and that one fancy serving dish (that never gets used) are always within sight.

The oak-effect finish brings warmth, while a mix of real and FEJKA artificial plants adds a fresh touch – some need watering, some don’t, but no judgment either way. Smart storage meets effortless style, proving that organization doesn’t have to be hidden behind closed doors.

Ready for dinner for two or chaos for twelve

A quiet dinner for two? No problem. A spontaneous gathering that somehow turns into twelve? Also no problem. The VIHALS gateleg table expands in seconds, while stackable stools and folding chairs make seating as flexible as the plans. Need even more space? Just add another VIHALS table to instantly double the dining area – because the more, the merrier.

The neutral tones keep the space light and open, while pops of warm red in the artwork, rug, and corner chair add energy and personality.

For dinners shared, and snacks you definitely won’t

Some dishes take hours to prepare. Others are just strategically arranged supermarket finds. Either way, the RÖDSNULTRA serving plate makes everything look intentional. With three mix-and-match designs, it’s an easy (and budget-friendly) way to add color, pattern, and just the right amount of “look at me” to the table.

The roommate agreement, on wheels

Breakfast diplomacy just got easier. The NISSAFORS utility cart keeps everyone’s cereal, mugs, and emergency snacks in check – no more debates over who finished the last oat milk. And since it’s on wheels, it rolls right to the table when needed and out of the way when it’s time to pretend the kitchen is clean.
