Tips on choosing dining room furniture

Read on for tips that will hopefully make your dining experience at home a truly enjoyable one.

There’s a lot to consider when shopping for dining room furniture. The pieces you choose must accommodate your lifestyle as well as last over time. Key factors to consider when purchasing a dining room table and chairs include room size, table size, style of your home and your budget.

Room Size

You need to make sure the size and shape of the dining table setting is in balance with the rest of the room. It’s a good idea to make measurements of the area before you start shopping. As a general guide, you should have a minimum distance of 1.2m between the edge of the table and the wall. If you have a small room, a glass table top will give the illusion of more space.

Table Size

Consider how many people you need to fit around the table on a regular basis. An extendable table wills suite those who have few people using the table on a daily basis but who like to entertain a lot. Choose an extendable table that can easily be set to a variety of configurations and the minimized for daily use. The dining table width is also very important. You need plenty of space for plates and serving dishes. We suggest a table width of at least 1m, especially if you like to set all your food on the table to allow guests to serve themselves. Also have some stackable stools or chairs on hand for unexpected guests.
