Liz Malm decided to bring an interesting element in her dining area by painting an arch next to her dining table. Not only does it add a touch of personality and artistic charm, it creates a dividing section for the dining area, just as it was done by positioning the sofa to divide the room.

If you have an unused kitchen corner, why not make the most of it with a bistro table, a dining bench and some dining chairs? You will be able to maxime space by the wall with a bench, providing storage and another seating at the table for guests. Make it more chic with decorative pillows, flowers and even art on the wall.
