Dining room transformation

Formal dining rooms are starting to go the way of the formal living room—out of service. While many homes have dining rooms, the square footage devoted to them often isn't justified by the little use most families get out of them. And who wants to waste that much space? Instead of letting an entire room become a black hole for clutter, get inspired by these 7 ways real families have converted their dining spaces.

Today, people are more inclined to eat around the TV while relaxing to one of their favorite shows. So, what to do with an unused dining room?

Do you have an unused dining room in your home that’s just collecting dust? With people opting for more casual and relaxed living spaces, dining rooms are becoming a thing of the past.
