Hooker Furniture Dining Room Wakefield Round Leg Dining Table with 1-21-in leaf<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you ever felt that you\u2019ve finally found the right furniture piece for your dining room only to find out later that it won\u2019t fit the space that you have available? Larger rooms need bigger and longer tables while smaller spaces require small furniture pieces. Corner spaces need to be maximized especially when you want to do a lot of entertaining. Consider having a round table if you have limited space as it is much easier to navigate all around the kitchen. If you think that bar height tables look great inside a dining room, then think twice. These may be uncomfortable for you and the guests unless you would like your dining room to double as a restaurant.<\/p>\n

Pay Attention to the Chair Details \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always pay attention to the scale when you are down to choosing your dining chairs. Almost all table heights come at 28 to 30 inches and you should shop for chairs that are a few inches taller than these measurements. The ugly thing about choosing shorter chairs for the dining table is that they end up looking tiny<\/em>. Seats that are higher, on the other hand, end up making you <\/em>look tiny.<\/p>\n

Shop for Mid-Century furniture as this is small scale and it tends to lay low on the ground. If you have higher ceilings, a large space and an open floor plan, then you should shop for tall-backed chairs that can even help separate the dining area from other parts of the room.<\/p>\n

Another way that you can separate functional spaces is to use an area rug. The legs of the chairs and dining table should all sit on the rug when they are all pushed in.<\/p>\n

Check the Lights <\/strong><\/p>\n
The overhead lighting must also be considered for its size correlation to the dining room (more so in relation to its ratio when compared to the table).<\/p>\n
Generally, the bottom part of the lighting fixture should be approximately 30 inches from the surface of the dining table. Of course, the number could go up as the ceiling goes higher. An eight-seater table naturally works with a wider or longer light fixture. This would also work well with a series (about 2-3) of pendants.<\/p>\n
Make sure also that there are enough bulbs in the chandelier or pendant so that the dining room is adequately lighted. If needed, you can always add a lamp or a pair placed on a sideboard.<\/p>\n
Remember that lighting is pretty much like scaling; the bigger the room, the more bulbs would be needed. Keep in mind also that there opaque glass shades offer a more diffused kind of light than a transparent one.<\/p>\n
Put in Visual Contrast <\/strong><\/p>\n
Visual contrast is the very thing that makes rooms feel more unique, interesting, alive, even beautiful. The chairs can be in contrast with the table either on style, material or both. This means you can mix industrial type chairs with a Mid-Century table. The chairs don\u2019t always have to match. If you embrace a more eclectic style, then consider using Windsor chairs around a simple dining table.<\/p>\n
Another wonderful way that you can add contrast to the dining room is by adding a rug. All dining spaces should have one as it can easily make the room more inviting and comfortable.<\/p>\n
Always Design with Function <\/strong><\/p>\n
Probably the most important consideration that you can make is to design the dining room around the function that the room would serve. Would you be eating meals there every day or during holidays only? Will you be hosting dinner parties there? Will the room double as a homework section for the kids? Knowing the answers to all these questions is crucial when you are about to choose the materials and the pieces of furniture that would go to your dining space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
