If your apartment is tiny, and you have rarely any use for an entire dining table, you may want to consider getting a folding table, and hanging it on the wall with bicycle storage hooks when you're not using it.

Not only does it save space, but on the other plus side it does give a sort of artistic feel to your apartment too. Apartment Therapy showcases a couple who live in a studio apartment and how they hang their stylist aluminum folding table on their wall. Its a nice idea really.

Make sure the hooks are anchored in the wall securely. [Apartment Therapy]
