Dining Room Furniture

Allow at least 36 inches from the table edge to the wall or furniture for comfortable seating and movement. For each diner, plan for 24 inches of table width. A 72-inch table seats 6 comfortably, while an 84-inch table seats 8. Round tables work well in small spaces and encourage conversation.

Counter height tables sit 36 inches from the floor, matching standard kitchen counter height. Bar height tables are taller at 42 inches. Counter height feels more casual and works well for eat-in kitchens, while bar height creates a pub-like atmosphere. Consider who will use the table, as taller heights can be challenging for children or elderly family members.

Wood chairs are durable, easy to clean, and work well in formal settings. Upholstered chairs offer more comfort for long dinners and can add color or pattern to your room. For families with children, consider performance fabrics or wood chairs with removable cushions. Many people mix both, using upholstered chairs at the table heads and wood chairs along the sides.

Yes. Mixing chair styles creates visual interest and a collected-over-time look. Keep one element consistent, such as wood tone, seat height, or overall style. Popular combinations include mismatched vintage chairs, contrasting head chairs, or mixing wood and upholstered styles. Our design team can help you create a cohesive look.

Consider a buffet or credenza for storing dishes, linens, and serving pieces. A china cabinet displays heirloom pieces while keeping them protected. For smaller spaces, a console table against the wall provides serving space without the bulk of a full buffet. A bench along one side of the table saves space and creates a casual feel.
