Scandi dining room ideas for families with a lot to do
Interested in Scandi dining room ideas for your home? Here’s a small dining area whose clever storage and extendable table help it handle the family’s many activities. It blends light-coloured wood, natural tones spiced with energising accent colours, and coordinated dining furniture into a harmonious whole.
Flexible and coordinated
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.
Get the right light for different activities
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.
Storage for all the things you do
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.
Softness under your feet
Making things comfier for your feet and cosier is this RIDSTIG rug. Its flatwoven surface makes it easy to pull chairs out and in and to vacuum. The simple geometric pattern and the colour scheme – energising red on an off-white base – strengthen the modern Scandi vibe.
Small but adaptable and ready for anything
With an extendable table, enough storage, and some extra folding chairs and stools that are easy to put away when guests have left, here’s a dining area that can cope with the needs of a family and all the things they do.
