9 affordable dining tables that instantly transform small spaces — including one under £75

Dining for one? A wall-mounted table creates the perfect spot to perch by a window for meals, drinks or catching up on emails. This clever design folds away when not in use and adjusts with a simple one-click lever, making it as practical for working from home as it is for mealtimes. It's available in six finishes, including wood-effect, black, white and grey.

Small but mighty, this compact dining table proves good things can come in small packages. The curved top and tapered legs make it feel pretty as well as practical.

Furniture that earns its keep, this clever two-in-one design transforms from a slim sideboard into a table for two in one easy move. The shelving and cubby hole below are a welcome bonus, providing a home for those hard-to-store placemats, napkins and condiments.

Combining a compact footprint with contemporary style, the four chairs tuck neatly under the table. The curved silhouette and wood veneer finish lend a sleek, modern feel that's perfect for contemporary interiors.

Sometimes the simplest designs work hardest. With its understated silhoutte, rounded edges and high-quality oak veneer finish, the Anton dining table lends itself to almost any scheme, from pared-back Scandi to mid-century modern. Take inspiration from one reviewer, who paired theirs with chrome legged Cesca-style dining chairs to give the look a contemporary edge.

A spot to eat or WFH? With its simple folding mechanism this clever piece can switch effortlessly between table for four and desk, halving in size when space is at a premium.

By simply rethinking the legs, you can create a cleaner silhouette and free up valuable space. Habitat's iconic Tulip table does exactly that, swapping four bulky legs for a sleek pedestal base.
