How to Choose the Best Dining Room Furniture
The dining room is more than just a place to eat—it is where families gather, friends connect, and memories are made. At EZ Living Interiors, we offer a wide range of dining room furniture to suit every style and space. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner or enjoying a casual meal with the family, selecting the right furniture can transform your dining area into the heart of your home.
Selecting the Right Dining Table
The dining table is the centrepiece of any dining room, so it is important to choose one that suits your space and lifestyle. For smaller homes or apartments, a compact circular or oval table is ideal, as it maximises space while still providing ample seating. If you frequently host large gatherings, consider a rectangular table, which can accommodate more guests. Extendable dining tables offer great versatility, allowing you to expand the seating capacity when needed and then tuck it away to save space.
The material of your dining table also plays a key role in the overall look of your room. Traditional wood tables, such as those made from walnut or oak, provide a classic, timeless feel. If you prefer a more modern or industrial aesthetic, tables with metal frames and glass tops offer a sleek and contemporary look.
Choosing Dining Chairs
When selecting dining chairs, comfort and style are equally important. For a cohesive look, opt for chairs that match your dining table, either in material or design. Alternatively, you can mix and match different styles for a more personalised, eclectic feel. Wooden chairs offer a sturdy, traditional option, while upholstered chairs in fabric or leather add a touch of luxury and comfort.
If you are working with a smaller space, consider dining benches as an alternative to traditional chairs. Benches can be tucked neatly under the table when not in use, freeing up valuable floor space. They also create a relaxed, informal dining atmosphere, perfect for both everyday meals and casual gatherings.
Adding Sideboards
Sideboards are functional and stylish additions to any dining room. They provide essential storage for dinnerware, glassware, and table linens, while also offering a surface for displaying decorative items like lamps, vases, or art. If you have a spacious dining area, a large sideboard can serve as a focal point, adding both character and practicality to the room.
Materials and Finishes
The choice of materials for your dining room furniture will influence the room's overall look and feel. Solid wood furniture, such as walnut or mango wood, is a popular choice for its durability and timeless appeal. If sustainability is important to you, consider our FSC-certified wood furniture, which ensures that the wood has been responsibly sourced.
For a more contemporary or industrial vibe, look for dining furniture that incorporates metal and glass. These materials can give your dining room a sleek, modern edge. Upholstered chairs and bar stools add comfort and a touch of elegance, with cushions made from foam and fibre for plush seating that invites long, leisurely meals.
Designing Your Dining Space
Once you have selected your furniture, it is time to think about the overall design of your dining room. Start by choosing a rug that complements your dining set, this can help define the space and add warmth to the room. Round rugs work well with circular tables, while rectangular rugs are perfect for longer tables.
Lighting is another key element. Pendant lights hanging over the dining table create a cosy, inviting atmosphere, while wall sconces or floor lamps can provide additional ambient light. For an added touch of style, consider installing a statement chandelier above the dining table.
Finally, accessorise your dining room with personal touches. A beautiful centrepiece, such as a vase of fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit, can add colour and life to the table. Wall art, mirrors, and decorative items like candles or sculptures can also enhance the space, making it uniquely yours.
