  You can train your chest muscles without dumbells even. Just do push ups, diamond, normal, and wide, do them all. Not only will you get chest muscles, your shoulder will also grow broader and in worst cases you get rheumetism like me.

  1. rest your legs on a bench, for example, your left leg will be in kneeling position on the bench, you must be on the right side of the bench. use desirable weights to pull up till your elbow is around shoulder level, and then do it for the other side as well.
  
  2. other than that, try doing push ups and increase intensity by adding weights to your back.
  
  i'd still suggest getting gym access though, as the training is more specific. you can pm me if you have any more questions and i will be glad to answer them.
  
  what is your purpose for training chest muscles? do you wanna look more buff? or ?

  This are actually kettlebell exercises but can be used by a dumbbell as well, i swear i did not create them myself.I saw them from a certified kettlebell instructor webpage, a kettlebell legendary instructor known as Mike mahler.
  
  1.Floor presses.Just pick a heavier/heavy dumbbell since the full range of motion is already obstructed.Lie down on floor(whole body lie down) as you would on a bench and do "floor benchpresses"
  
  2.Alternating floor presses, example:Lean the left side of your body like 45 degrees with BOTH legs on the ground,Take a dumbbell on your right arm and do the exercise with the FULL RANGE OF MOTION.Alternate arms and lean different sides while doing for different arms
  
  3:Look at internet for cable crossovers except you take your dumbbells and do it yourself.

  Btw is your chest muscles for show-show(Aesthenics purposes) or you want strength quality chest muscles not scarcoplasmic chest muscle.
  
  Also there is no such thing as needing a special machine to train your chest,Free weights can do everything* already.You can still use a machine if you like but machines are NOT a must.
