Dining Room how would you improve this dining nook?
galleryI feel like I'm not maximizing this space as well as I could. Due to the layout of my house...this space is primarily used as my WFH "office" because I only have a laptop...which is why I have a more comfortable desk chair on the left. I know the chairs don’t match, but hard to justify another $400 chair just for the occasional times someone else sits across from me.
I kkkw the elephant in the room is "using your dining room as an office is weird" but hey, small houses are small. I would really love a way to have an even more comfortable seat here, stretch the legs and hangout by the kitchen table more throughout the day, even this office chair leads to my body getting sore.
I feel like I could incorporate some sort of breakfast nook with a bigger table? It would be nice to have 3-4 people be able to sit here instead of 2-3 (and if it's 3, I bring up another chair and the table is clearly undersized for that).
However...there's not a ton of room for a huge table and chairs, so I'm not exactly sure what to do. Any thoughts? Thanks much!
