Help! what do to with a formal dining room area!?

As soon as you enter our home to your right is an open formal dining room and right beside it, connected, it is the living room area where we have our couches and tv also the fireplace is on this side. We NEVER use the dining area and was wondering if anyone had ideas on how to make it.. not so awkward.

Re: Help! what do to with a formal dining room area!?

  • You should post some pictures of your current dining and living room areas so we can see it. That might help us come up with some suggestions for you. Also, are you definately wanting to keep it a formal dining room because that's what is supposed to be there or are you considering turning the room into something for another use since you don't use it as a formal dining room? You didn't really clarify that.
  • My friend never needed a formal dining room so she turned it into a bar/lounge area.  She had a bar and some slipper chairs in there.  It was cute and we use to have drinks in there when we visited. 
  • You could put a chaise lounge and turn it into a reading room, or small office space?
