If you don't have a dining room, dining furniture options can sometimes be limited. People in studios and other apartments lacking proper dining rooms often resort to TV trays, coffee tables, and even beds. Direct Furniture, located in Foley, AL, wants to help you get creative with your dining room furniture solutions.

Even if you don't have a dining room with an accompanying furniture set, there's a plethora of ways you can still eat in style. Direct Furniture offers a few savvy suggestions:

• Kitchen Nook: Most people don't eat breakfast or lunch in their dining rooms, so you might want to consider expanding seating options in or alongside your kitchen. The kitchen nook can function as an actual corner of your kitchen or a complete furniture set you can put anywhere. Perfect for on-the-go meals, it offers a brisk, convenient solution.
• Banquette: Banquettes are excellent options for people looking for something laid-back, yet versatile. A slightly fancier version of the kitchen nook, banquettes offer an appropriate dining room furniture solution for all meals, including dinner. 
• Kitchen Island Expansion: If you don't have a dining room but you have a kitchen island, the option for all your dining needs is waiting in the wings. Look for a table and chair set that can serve as an extension to your current kitchen island, resulting in a part of the house where you can sit for morning coffee or lay out a family dinner. 

For apartment renters and homeowners, dining rooms are no guarantee. In some cases, you have to use ingenuity to find the right dining situation and accompanying dining room furniture.
