Our Favourite Space Saving Dinette
Planning the interior design and furniture arrangements in a boat with limited space can be difficult, as there’s a risk that too much furniture in a confined space can look cluttered and even make the cabin appear smaller. Space saving dinette is the best option in maximising the limited area available, to give you the freedom and flexibility of having a spacious home and having furniture and storage when you need it. Another benefit of space saving furniture is that it’s compact and tends to be very affordable. The most important need for space saving furniture is to be multi functional, so that it incorporates more than one purpose depending on its intended use. In this article, we talk through some space saving dinette ideas that you can utilise in your home to maximise space.
Small Space Dining
The dining table is an important piece in any saloon since it's part of any narrowboat home, as it's the place we gather around to eat and debate, however dining tables can take up a significant amount of space from your Narrowboat living room. For a small dinette, you can invest in the Single Dinette with a removable dining table from OK Joinery Ltd which gives you easy storage too. This means that you can make the most of your space and even pack the table away when you don’t need it,or convert the unit to sofa or single bed. If you’d prefer to opt for a large dining table or two smaller tables either side of the boat, you can opt for a stylish and chic multifunction Duplex Dinette® that can be found on OK Joinery as well. The extendable bed base extends out to offer more dining space for when you are entertaining. The Duplex Dinette® stocked by OK Joinery ltd is a fantastic space saving solution for small space boat saloons, where the chairs can be converted to bed or sofa, the table top when the table isn’t being used convertible to infill panels for bed option.
Space Saving Narrowboat Sofa Beds
With any narrowboat, there will be many items that need to be stored away, which we might only use several times a year. Investing in a quality space saving dinette with storage included will mean that the odd bits and bobs you don’t need on a regular basis can be stored in the storage compartments permanently. OK Joinery ltd stocks stylish dinettes that convert to double bed too, like the narrowboat Standard L Shaped Dinette which offers storage drawers to store and hold your clothes, bedding or shoes. If you’re looking for a storage bed that will hold larger items that won’t fit in a drawer, you can choose to invest in another storage bed with a table - we particularly like the Extra Wide L shaped Dinette . However if you’re looking for a corner dinette for your boat living room room but want to use it for seats and storage only, you might be interested in corner seats, for example a Corner Dinette with Storage. Corner dinette with storage allows you to use a built-in storage and daytime corner seat as well. Another option for a space saving dinette is to install a space efficient sofa bed which doubles up as multi-functional furniture in your boat living room. A Duplex Dinette® can be another alternative bed space, which converts out from a dinette to single bed, double bed or king sized bed. Duplex Dinette® are stylish and a great space saver.
Expanding your Living Space
Coffee tables are an essential furniture item for any living room, which can hold drinks, snacks or a few books. A space saving Duplex Dinette® can be converted to coffee tables with corner sofas too. The coffee table space when in use but can alternatively be placed as puffs or single seating. The benefit of nesting the coffee tables is that they can double up and can be used as two seater sofas with cushions on the top. A storage coffee table is another functional option for expanding your living space. You can find many of these in OK Joinery`s website, we particularly like this Dinettes With a lift away lid, you can store away all of your accessories within the storage container underneath the lid. If you’re living in a canal boat and are looking for a storage solution to separate your living area to your sleeping area, the OK Joinery Duplex Dinette® range is a creative way of incorporating storage space. These units are very popular for dinette storage solutions, and can also be a nice way of storing your picture frames and ornaments.
