Dining Table Bench

Dining together with friends and family is such a pleasant experience. It’s good for your mental health too. You feel happy and content when you’re surrounded by people whose company you enjoy along with great food. Sharing happy meals helps build relationships and create memories.

The dining space is, therefore, quite an important place in your home. To create the right ambiance, you need a dining space that looks cheerful yet elegant and comfortable. Here are aspects to consider when designing your dining space.

The Available Space

Before setting up your dining area, take a good look at the space you have. Determine how many people are likely to use it. Also, account for some extra space when you are inviting people over.

If you live in an open structure apartment where the dining area and the living space merge seamlessly (like in most modern apartments), you can demarcate the dining space by placing a rug along an imaginary border.

You can also use different shades on the walls for the two different spaces or have a feature wall in the dining area to highlight it.

Setting the Dining Table

Before you buy that grand dining table, always remember how much space you have. A large table will look crammed in a small space. If you are constrained for space, consider a table with extendable platforms. Moreover, a round or oval table in a small square space helps break the monotony and create an illusion of space.

However, if you have enough space at your disposal, always go for a classic long dining table in grandiose wood shades. Even if you have a small family or don’t entertain often, a flamboyant table is sure to add a unique character to the space.

Selecting the Chairs

You can easily ruin the elegance and style of your dining table by choosing the wrong chairs. So choosing the right chairs is just as important as selecting the table.

Consider the aesthetics, the practicality as well as the comfort. Chairs with leather back, timber back or mesh backed chairs are easy to maintain and perfect for families with kids. They also blend in well with smaller dining tables.

If kids are not a problem and you have a really grand dining table, opt for chairs with velvet or fabric backing in exotic shades and patterns. Paired with a luxurious dining table, these plush chairs are sure to create the perfect look of old-world sophistication.

If you are the informal, casual type and love colours, opt for plastic chairs. Available in myriad designs and colours, these chairs can really make a dining space look more colourful and sporty. Such chairs are easier to push around too instead of solid wood chairs that can be quite heavy.

Dining chairs are also available with round back or square back. Round-back chairs look perfect with an oval table while square-back chairs enhance the look of a square dining table.
