Size Matters

   Your dining room is the heart of your household. Choosing the right furniture requires an investment of both time and money.

   The first step is to measure your room to make sure that you and your guests will be able to move around the table freely. You’ll also want to choose a table that’s large enough to provide elbow room for guests and extra chairs to accommodate bigger gatherings.

  Knowing how much available space you have can help you decide whether you want a five, seven, or nine-piece dining room or dinette set.

         Style Elements

   Tables must balance form and function. Styles range from casual to formal and contemporary to traditional. Mixing or combining style elements and changing color schemes can update rooms without breaking your budget.

  Consider a two tone mix of cream and espresso, black and gray, black and white, black and red, or black and brown; or go with uniform colorful options like red, brown or white.

  When it comes to seating, there are many options to shop for, including traditional chairs, modern stools, and utilitarian benches. 

       Fabric & Materials

  Traditional chairs with classic upholstery can be updated by simply changing the appearance of the cushions. If you have children, consider washable or stain-resistant options such as leather or microsuede. Another great option is to use durable, outdoor fabrics on your indoor seats.

    For a super-sturdy dining room table, go with hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, maple, oak, or teak. 

   Stools are perfect for counter-height or traditional tables and can be tucked away to save space. Benches, on the other hand, add a modern twist while creating additional seating.

       Budget with Flair

    Creating a spending limit can help when buying dining room furniture. Dining rooms sold in sets is often a better deal than separate, individual items for sale. 
       
    However, larger, high-end five, six, seven and eight-piece packages can get pricey. When making budgets, take this into account and consider the number of items needed to complete your dining room.
