When you have a small table, it's best not to clutter it with serving dishes and "extra" utensils such as fish forks and salad knives. A regular fork, knife and soup spoon (if you're serving soup) are sufficient. You also don't need giant centerpieces that crowd guests and make it hard to see one another across the table.
Setting the table in a simple style gives the overall appearance of more space and decreases the risk of someone knocking over a glass while trying to reach around it to get to the mashed potatoes.
