The Difference Between an Eat-in Kitchen & a Dining Room



An eat-in kitchen and a separate dining room are quite different. To help you decide on the best arrangement for your home, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island compares the two options here.

Eat-In Kitchen

An eat-in kitchen is designed to save space by using the kitchen to accommodate dining. A single space for preparing food and dining is convenient for many homeowners. You decrease the chance of spilling food because you don’t need to transport it to another room. It’s also less work because you don’t have another room to clean and set. However, there is minimal space to host formal gatherings without a separate dining room. This can put a damper on big celebrations. 

Separate Dining Room

Meanwhile, a separate dining room offers the flexibility and convenience of having a space just for eating your meals. Formal celebrations that involve dining are possible with a separate room. It also frees up more space in the kitchen for storage and appliances. A separate dining room will require additional maintenance but you can use the space as a makeshift office or homeschool center. 

What’s Best for Your Home?

You don’t need to choose between the two if you have enough budget and space in your home. If you have a large kitchen, you can still install an eat-in kitchen for casual dining. A separate dining room can be reserved for big celebrations and other social gatherings. You have the freedom to choose what’s best for your home. Just make sure to hire a trusted contractor and plan your kitchen remodeling project thoroughly.
