The luxury of a proper dining room is something most small space dwellers forgo, but not Sara Emslie, stylist and author of Beautifully Small: Clever Ideas for Compact Spaces. In her own house, a 640-square-foot Victorian in London, Emslie created a serene dining room with a four-person table, fold away outdoor dining chairs, and organized storage on open shelving. Here's a look at the key elements to recreate the look in your own small (or large) space.
