Modern families are frequently so busy that not only does the family not gather around the dinner table for their evening meal, they do not gather around any table at all. Grabbing meals on the go has made the formal dining room almost redundant.

Since the space is rarely used and may even be acting as a catch all for mismatched furniture from the rest of the house, you may want to reclaim this space and turn it into a den.

For all families it can be a great space for entertaining. How you furnish the room completely depends on how you plan to use it.
