Dining Table

In many homes, the dining table is the center of the world. It&#;s where people share meals, stories, and so much more&#;a backdrop for a lifetime of memories.

If you&#;re looking for some help choosing your perfect dining room table, look no further! Our complete buying guide will give you the recipe to cook up the perfect dining table for your family.

HOW DO YOU KNOW a dining table IS HIGH QUALITY?

Here are some sure signs that your dining room furniture is built to last:

WHICH shape of DINING TABLE IS BEST: ROUND OR RECTANGULAR?

The best way to judge what table shape you need is to look at the size of your space. Are you filling a large formal dining room or tucking a table into your kitchen?

For Small Spaces
Round or square tables are great for cozying up in small spaces like a breakfast nook. Round tables are smaller and can fit snugly into a corner, but you&#;ll lose some surface area for serving dishes by sacrificing corners. Both round and square tables make good kitchen tables for couples and small families.

For Large Spaces
In a formal dining room or airy open floor plan, a large, rectangular dining table can seat your whole family and all your dinner party guests. It&#;s easier to squeeze in an extra chair when the need arises, and these tables provide lots of space for serveware and décor.

WHAT SIZE TABLE do I NEED?

Plan for at least 3' of space between the table, the wall, and other furniture so people can flow comfortably through your dining space.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR DINING CHAIRS

The best dining chairs complement the table you chose, so look to your table for styling cues. When you pick your chairs, ensure everyone has enough elbow room&#;we like to put at least 12" between each chair along a table&#;s side.

additional tips

Host chairs are a snazzy addition to the head of a rectangular table. Pair them with armless chairs along the side of the table to maximize your space&#;and always use only armless chairs with round or square tables.

If you need more surface space for extra courses, select a larger table or opt for a coordinating buffet depending on what fits best in your room.

Need extra seats for special occasions? An extension table comes with a leaf or two, adding 2-4 extra seats. When you measure to see if your dining table will fit, consider its full extended length.

Light Neutrals
Light neutrals such as light brown, gray, or white create an airy, open look that&#;s an inviting canvas for your favorite statement décor or casual family dining.

Dark Neutrals
Dark brown and black are classic dining table color choices for a reason. They&#;re formal, refined, and create a grounded look that draws eyes toward where people gather: at the table.

Can&#;t decide on color? Choose a dining table with a two-toned finish. The base and top will coordinate instead of match.

How Many Chairs Do You Need?
When it comes to dining room chairs, the first thing you should think about is how many chairs you need. This answer will depend on a few things:

• How many people do you eat with each day?
• How often do you entertain guests?
• Where is the room located in relation to your kitchen and living room?

If it's a small family that eats together every evening, maybe one or two chairs will work just fine. If it's more of an occasional meal-time occurrence and entertaining space, four or more chairs would be ideal. Remember that these are side-by-side pieces of furniture meant for use in conjunction with other rooms in your home.

Be Comfortable
The first thing to remember is that you want your dining room chairs to be comfortable. You don't want them too big for the room, and you don't want them too small either. The same goes for height - the chairs should be tall enough so that they're not sitting on the floor, but not so long that they can't fit under your dining table.

What's Your Budget?
The first thing to consider when buying dining room chairs is your budget. You can spend anywhere from $50 to $+ on a chair, depending on the type of chair you want and what material it's made of. The type of table you have will also influence how much you'll spend on chairs because some tables come with built-in leaves that extend the length at which people can sit around it; larger tables need more chairs than smaller ones do. Wood and metal are traditionally used for dining room furniture but if you're looking for something more modern, plastic or resin might be better suited for your needs.

As for style? That's up to you! There are tons of options out there:

• Classic white dining room chairs
• Traditional wooden dining room chairs
• Sleek black leather dining room chairs

Choose the Right Material for Your Lifestyle
When it comes to choosing a dining room chair material, think about your lifestyle. If you have small children or pets that spend time in the dining room, choose a fabric that is easy to clean (some fabrics can be cleaned with soap and water). Also consider if you have allergies: some fabrics can be made out of allergen-free materials like leather or vinyl.

Choose Your Style
Before you start shopping, it's important to know what type of dining room chairs will work in your space. You'll also want to think about what kind of style you're looking for - traditional or contemporary? Country or rustic? Farmhouse, perhaps?

The best way to narrow down what type of chairs will work for you is by thinking about the overall look and feel of your dining room. If it's a traditional space with dark wood floors and antique furniture, the last thing you want are ultra-modern dining room chairs that clash with everything else in the room. But if your family room has been transformed into an open air loft with metal furniture and bright white walls, nothing but sleek metal seating will do (and even those would probably look out of place).

Do You Want Upholstered or Non-Upholstered Chairs?
If you want a truly unique dining room, you may consider buying chairs with upholstery. However, this is not for everyone. Some people like to have their furniture in a certain color and style so that it works with the rest of their home decor. If you're one of these people and aren't interested in having various pieces of furniture with different patterns and colors, non-upholstered chairs may be more your style.

However, there are also benefits to buying upholstered dining room chairs:
They are more comfortable - This is especially true if you are going for a look where leather or fabric is used as an accent color. For example, if your dining table has wood edges that match the seat backs on the chairs (like these ones), those chairs will feel much better than plain wooden ones! Or if your walls are covered in wallpaper featuring sky blue tones (like this one), cushy velvet would pair nicely!

Make Sure You Have Both a Beautiful and Functional Space

• Choosing dining room chairs is an important part of making sure you have both a beautiful and functional space.
• It is important to note that these two things should be considered together, because they go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other.
• A chair needs to be comfortable, but that doesn't mean it should be sunken in or made out of cheap materials such as plastic or vinyl. Instead, think about comfort when considering style; look for chairs with soft arms or backs so that you feel like you're sitting on a cloud while enjoying your meals at the table with your family or friends.
• As well as being comfortable, your dining room chairs shouldn't clash with the rest of their surroundings either - it's easy enough to go overboard when buying furniture, so make sure each item complements not just itself but also everything else around it too!
