Dining room? You may say, "What dining room in a HDB flat?" More like a dining table and a couple of dining chairs, perhaps?
Perhaps not. For folks living in HDB flats, a designated space for a dining room doesn't seem to make much sense. But the challenge is: What's your idea of a dining room?
Fact is, in most HDB flats, you have to make space out of limited space. You've got to get your creative juices flowing. Is it really a room, or a well-designed dining space that you call a dining room? That it is the place where you want to have every meal at home.
Let us ease your load and inspire you with ten dining room designs. So here's how you can pamper your HDB home a little bit more.
Serve Me My Food Now
Want your food straight out of the kitchen? Then have your dining room right next to the kitchen. Who is to say that the room is purely a kitchen? Have a small but unobtrusive divider that conveniently separates your kitchen area and dining area. Now, you have both a roomy kitchen and a comfortable dining room!

Dinner At The Table When I Get Home
Some of us prefer to have our dining area out of the designated kitchen space. So sometimes the next best location for your dining room is near the main door. With the right design and layout of your dining table and chairs, you will have a convenient and chic dining area. Voila, dinner can be served the moment you step into your HDB crib.

Open Concept Kitchen And Dining Room
Some of us fancy the idea of an open concept kitchen and dining area. And that's pretty cool and convenient as well. Not to mention the use of black for your kitchen counters and dining space, which allows these areas to stand out, while the white walls and ceiling makes it feel spacious and airy.

Center Of Attention
Luxurious, elegant, and comfortable. What's a better way to enjoy a delightful meal with a bottle of wine? And a cheese platter as well. A full white interior brings out the simple classy look of your home, with touches of colors to distinguish different spaces.

The Modern Day Diners
Fuss-free, sleek, and neat. It's the kind of dining room that you are unwilling to create a mess, but you are more than happy to have a satisfying meal at. It's a great place to chat over meals as well, be it family bonding, or having guests over. You'll feel proud to host dinner parties at home.

A Cafe At Home
Fancy your private home cafe? Blend your dining space into the living room area to give it a cafe touch. Pick your ideal cushy seats and give it a warm lighting. Now it makes you feel like having all your meals, even if it's a cup of coffee, right at this cafe corner.

Dine Like An Urbanite
Minimalist setting, functional designer dining table, chairs and an arty lamp to complete the ambience. Well you can opt for a shorter cabinet next to the windows so that you have a clearer view of what's going on out there. Catch a glimpse of the floating clouds, or starry skies anytime when you have a meal.

The Chic Space Saver
Isn't this an awesome idea? You segregate your living room and dining space with a black translucent glass divider. You can have an intimate space for your meals, while have a clear view of your apartment. To top it off, this brings TV dinner to a whole new level.
