Gold Rush

Pedestal tables are made for small dining spaces because they free up leg room. While this oval table is 60 inches wide (and it’s not inexpensive) consider it an aspirational table. There are similar ones on the market; we just happen to be swooning over the gold metal base on this one. Silhouette Dining Table, West Elm, $3,000.

On a High

Who says a dining table has to be 29 inches from the ground? If it fits your lifestyle, a bar-height table with room to rest libations and such is fantastic – in a small space it doubles as a bar, just like those chic spots you used to hit up regularly before the Thing That Shall Not Be Mentioned befell the world. Bouffard Counter-Height Table, Wayfair, $420.

Tucked Away

A drop-leaf table is a saviour in a small space – flip it up when friends pop in for a drink, or keep it down when it’s just you and the cat. Plus, the bamboo and white combo brings a lovely Scandinavian vibe to your home. This table makes a perfect office desk, too! Ikea PS 2012, IKEA, $279.
