How to Furnish your Dining Room

Aico Furniture Bella Cera Dining Room Set

With so many dining room collections to choose from, furnishing your dining room from scratch may seem overwhelming. Some people have a sizable space to accommodate a large table with seating for eight or ten, while others have a cozy nook off the kitchen. Whatever your space, you can find the right dining room furniture for family meals and to welcome your guests.

Here are some steps you can take to create an inviting and practical dining room:

Step 1: Choose a Style

Whether you love a formal look or more contemporary styling, the choice is yours when it comes to selecting dining room furniture. You may love the rustic farmhouse style that is trending right now, or dramatic dining room pieces with a flair reminiscent of Old Hollywood in the 1930s. People who live near the ocean often choose a breezy coastal look with light colors and casual styling. Whichever style you choose, make sure it will coordinate with the decor in the rest of your home.

Step 2: Measure your Space

Before you choose your dining room furniture, make sure to measure your space carefully so you pick the right pieces. As a rule of thumb, leave at least three feet of space between chairs and between the chairs and the wall. This is important so that people can get to their seat easily and pull out their chairs without a struggle.

Each person at the table will need around two feet of tabletop space, so keep that in mind when you choose a dining room table. You will also need a table that is proportionate to the dimensions of your dining room, whether it is rectangular, oval or round.

Step 3: Add Finishing Touches

Once you have your basic dining room set, add finishing touches like area rugs, lighting and accent pieces. Keep in mind that you should stick to a color palette to make sure that everything comes together for a beautiful look. Your area rug should extend 2 feet from this sides of the table to accommodate seated guests.

For most tables, an 8 x 10-foot area rug is sufficient. If you choose a chandelier or a series of pendants for lighting, remember that the bottom edge should be around 30 inches above the dining room tabletop if your room has an 8-foot high ceiling. When you choose dining room accent furniture like a buffet or a china cabinet, remember that while the style does not have to match exactly, it should coordinate well.
