I'm not sure why anyone would think that people no longer have sideboards/buffets in their dining rooms. When they don't, it's usually a decision made because of a lack of square footage. Sideboards/buffets have been around all the decades of my life, my mother's and grandmother's lives, and all the generations before us.

I got rid of my dining room table awhile ago, and changed it into a simple beautiful lounge off my open kitchen area. I moved my storage couch from the living room into the lounge area. People love it when they see it. It opened up the space, and now I can chat with my husband while he is sitting in the lounge, and cook at the same time. No television in the area, just a beautiful view of the back patio and trees. Dining table wasn’t used much. Children grown, one out of the house, so I had a floating table made that seats two; attached it to the other side of my half wall that looks into the kitchen. If any one cared to eat on it, they could. Space more functional now, and the lounge is used more often than when the dining room was there. It’s a hotspot now, but no social media is allowed. The living room was changed into an enclosed open air Be-living room, a bed and breakfast with living space for guest. The whole concept done within 435 sq ft.

I totally agree about the lack of proper storage in the dining room. I've been looking for a sideboard with drawers to store flatware and other pieces such as napkins and candles. All I can find are sideboards with shelves which are good too but should not limited to shelves only. Drawers in sideboards used to be standard but not anymore, sadly.

I moved 6 months ago to a smaller home. I bought the oval expandable Mid Century Modern dining table. Also wanted the chairs to be mid century so I bought the Zola chairs. Therefore they do match (supposed a faux paw) but putting another that wasn’t modern would look out of place. These chairs are also low profile and tuck right in which is good for my smaller dining area

Hi Kiva! We eat in the kitchen at a side desk like niche with two swivel counter chairs and in front of the kitchen tv. As children eating in any room other than a kitchen was taboo. But as a mother I let my kids eat in the den while watching the big tv. They still do that. Works for us as a family. The dr table is large and mostly used for family gatherings. But not everyday even though it’s in an accessible part of the house. We have to pass through the dining room to get to the den. But that doesn’t stop us from eating in the den. I have a matching table and chairs in the den and it matches the sideboard the china cabinet the curio cabinet and the secretary desk and a little triangle table!😂 I like the set. But I have a huge custom mirror and a nice chandelier and a big enough rug for it all! 😉❤️🥰 I liked that sideboard from Walmart! Good work !

I took a beautiful antique quarter sawn oak dining room table with 4 leaves (circa 1920) to Habitat for Humanity to donate (not because there was anything wrong with it but because I wanted a new style after having it for 20 years) and they wouldn’t take it because it didn’t have matching chairs! I said: nobody should be buying a matching dining room table and chairs, it doesn’t look good! They still wouldn’t accept it. 😩

There is a plus to purchasing a blank slate matching dining room set. You can use dining seat covers, tablecloths, and chair pads to make the set '"Yours". The accessories come in many colors and patterns. With dining table accessories, you can change things out inexpensively while letting your unique personality shine.

I keep my table pretty cleared off with a single faux cherry blossom bonsai type plant. This way it becomes easy for my grandchildren to use for art activities plus I have a sideboard next to it which I use for a Iight and a few photos. This way it doesn’t become overly crowded in that space. My sideboard is has 3 drawers across the top and 2 shelves which I have matching baskets that hold various necessities. Some for the grandkids. Also, I definitely eat on the sofa. So cozy 😊😊. I rarely eat at the table. I wouldn’t have one if I didn’t need one for the kids and company.

Having just moved into a place with an actual dining room after almost a decade of living in tiny apartments with microscopic kitchens that couldn't practically fit even a small table and two chairs, I am so damn excited that I am eating almost every meal that I can in the thing. Relaxed breakfast and coffee in the morning! A weekend lunch with the sun streaming in! Dinner in the evenings catching up on the day with my husband! It feels like the biggest goddamn luxury just to have the space to begin with that the urge to rush off to the TV or computer with my meal is considerably diminished. I definitely want to make it look as nice as I possibly can, while keeping it functional.

I don’t have the luxury of having a separate dining room (one day I will) but I do have a decent eat-in kitchen. I love styling my table. Yes I have 2 candles but I enjoy lighting them for dinner sometimes and use them. And yes everything on a tray or lazy Susan in the center so it’s pretty but functional and can be easily moved for food and playing games after dinner. I think runners are much more practical than a whole table cloth but I love a layered table for a special occasion. I am one of those people I do not enjoy eating on the couch. One rule for me, my table is not a drop zone or junk piling spot this way it’s always nice to sit and enjoy your meal.

Choose a complimentary but Not matching sideboard or China cabinet. Add a large rug, Reupholster your chairs in something bold or in two or more fabrics that go well together and a third fabric on the windows. Add two captains chairs or upholstered chairs at the two ends of the table to brake up the matching look of the chairs. These other items add interest and you really don't notice the matching chairs and table.
