Create a window seat
The window area in this colourful kitchen has been transformed into a cosy little eating nook. Banquettes provide informal seating while the round table is a practical touch and slots in neatly, making the most of this tricky space.

Exploit every inch of space
Carving a dining space out of a kitchen often involves making the most of what you have.The owners of this kitchen have freed up some space by cleverly installing banquettes around the wall and sink area so the table can be pushed up against them when it’s not in use.

Choose statement chairs
Kitchen suppers take on super stylish status with a few key purchases. These space-age chairs really lift the minimal feel of this sharp, modern kitchen and make it clear that the island is as much for eating at and gathering around, as it is for food preparation.

Inject some glamour
Just because the kitchen is an informal setting, it doesn’t mean it has to lack glamour. Replace regular bar stools with something wider and more luxurious. Here, bench-style stools that can seat two are upholstered in smokey-coloured velvet for a chic look.

Invest in some stools
Simple stools are incredibly versatile, creating seating in even the smallest space, and some designs can even be stacked and stored away when not in use. This spacious kitchen has a relatively small eating area (a formal dining area flows off it), but more stools could be added around the island for a larger gathering.

Create a chef’s table
If you are a theatrical chef, or just like to talk to your guests while you are cooking, why not bring the dining table into the kitchen? It’s much more sociable than spending half the night ferrying dishes to and from another room, but you can still enjoy the space and elegance of a large table and ample seating.

Go for a farmhouse feel
There is something very inclusive about a farmhouse style table. This one can be used for a kitchen supper, more formal gatherings and family time, too. It is the perfect spot for children to do homework at while you prepare a meal and remain on hand to help with any tricky questions.

Maximise a small space
You don’t need a large kitchen or an island to have an eating area. This bar-style dining space is a continuation of the wooden worktop, but extends just a little way into the room, creating somewhere to enjoy a meal without cluttering up the kitchen. Stools or chairs that can tuck underneath the bench are a good idea, helping to keep the design streamlined.

Integrate your table
Breakfast bars can sometimes look like a bit of an add on, projecting out from the kitchen units, but this elegant space shows how beautifully one can be included in your kitchen. Here, a chunky dining area in the same wood as the kitchen base units seems to grow out of the island, providing comfortable space to eat at. Smart dining chairs give an air of formality, too, turning this design into an integrated dining table, rather than a humble breakfast bar.

Build a bar with a view
Depending on the shape and size of your kitchen, you could add a breakfast bar in front of the window. It’s a good use of what is typically dead space and provides the diner with a wonderful view over the garden to gaze at between mouthfuls.
