Turn Your Dining Room Into a Flex Space + 3 Looks to Try

By adding a book tower to one corner and incorporating a rolling caddy to house craft supplies, the space is perfectly equipped to use for creative and work purposes any day of the week.

One of the best ways to maximize your money when furnishing one space for several uses is to consider an eclectic style. This creative workstation consists of a variety of midcentury modern and coastal cottage furniture, a transitional table, a geometric rug and industrial-style lighting.

Keep creative workstations clutter-free by coralling supplies to a mobile office cart. When the area is not in use, crafting supplies can be wheeled away and stored inside of a closet.

Bar carts are one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your home. Of all items in this dining space, the bar cart is the one that remains for all three purposes. Here, it's outfitted as a drink station and a designated spot for keeping fresh towels within arm's reach.

Collapsible leaf tables are perfect for versatile rooms. When the area is in use as a yoga space, the leaves are kept up to offer a spot to cool down post-workout and review progress on a tablet. Stackable chairs can be away when the space is not in use, and a full-length mirror allows for keeping an eye on proper form.

Create a fun space for kids with comfy seating, round tables and color palettes they can grow into. This room is given a playful transformation using punchy earth tones in shades of burnt orange and grassy greens.

Thanks to round tabletops, there are no edges or corners for kids to harm themselves.
