As someone who loves hosting but has a small dining area, I am constantly on the hunt for a table that is both stylish and space-saving.
Drew Barrymore's new dining collection may have just provided a solution with her Round Dining Table in warm honey (available at Walmart) – an intricately designed, compact, and practical table that is immediately going on my wish list.
The fluted stand is what first caught my interest, but I also love the soft, round shape of the base, as well as the versatile, light wood tone. Simply put, it's everything I have been looking for in a dining table.
Small dining rooms meet their match with this 42-inch, rounded table, with a contemporary feel and fluted pattern. It would be the perfect accent in a kitchen breakfast nook to add both function and flair.
The table is evocative of both mid-century modern and '70s designs, which favored natural materials, cozy textures, and low-profile furniture.
The round shape of the table in particular, is a selling point for me, as it seats up to four comfortably and allows for a conversational seating arrangement.
To accentuate the natural materials, I would opt for rattan placemats or wicker chairs for textural interest, while a linen tablecloth or cotton cushions would soften the space.
Colorful glasses would also look fantastic on this table (would is truly the ultimate neutral) for a more eccentric tablescape, while classic wine glasses would look just as sophisticated.
Above all, this table is extremely customizable, and would pair well with a variety of seating and tableware options. Below, I have rounded up some of my top picks for a cozy dining area.

Similar to the counter-height chairs, these dining seats are chic and refined, with the choice between boucle cream or beige and cream striped cushions. The open space at the back makes them the perfect choice for my small dining room.
This cutlery set is perfect for everyday use in addition to looking stunning on a set table, with its cream handles and silver heads. I think it would look particuarly great on top of Drew's dining table, but with this versatile set, you can't go wrong.
Retro rattan style
Arguably, nothing looks quite as timeless as rattan, so what better way to elevate our tablescape than with a Martha Stewart-designed twist on the classic? This placemat is constructed of 100% rattan material in a basket woven style – for ageless and durable style.
