Dining Room Hacks
Baskets or Bins for Hidden Storage
Tuck woven baskets under a sideboard or in a corner to store napkins, candles, or even kids’ craft supplies that sometimes drift into the dining room.
A Serving Console that Doubles as Storage
A console or buffet with drawers/cabinets hides away extra dishware, placemats, or seasonal décor so the table stays clear.
Decorative Trays as a “Clutter Catcher”
Instead of letting mail or small items pile up on the table, use a decorative tray. It looks intentional and makes tidying up quick before meals.
Built-In Bar or Beverage Station
Dedicate one small area — a cart, console, or even a shelf — for glasses, wine, or coffee. It frees the dining table and keeps entertaining essentials corralled.
Seasonal Rotation Bin
Keep one lidded storage box or basket for seasonal table décor. Rotate it monthly (fall candles, holiday napkins, spring florals), and store the rest out of sight.
Bench Seating with Storage
If your dining room has space, a bench with hidden storage is perfect for table linens, board games, or even extra dishware.
