Cosy family homes are welcoming and intimate – and they pack a punch when it comes to styling, as long as you go about it the right way! No matter how compact your space is, you don’t need to skip out on impact. Keep reading to discover how to choose the perfect dining set for small spaces.
Dining Sets For Small Spaces
Finding the perfect dining scene for smaller spaces takes a little time and consideration. Searching for the right fit that serves both fashion and function without overwhelming the room is an art. The secret is to avoid bulky or oversized designs that can leave the room feeling overcrowded or uncomfortable. The right choice, however, will make your dining area feel bright, welcoming and stylish. Whether you are furnishing a family apartment, you want to create a cosy dining area in your kitchen or living space or you simply have a more compact dining room in your home, explore these options, ideas and professional tips for choosing a dining set that compliments your space seamlessly.
Understand Your Dining Space
Before you start getting inspired for your dining set investment, it is important to understand the space you are shopping for. This means taking stock of the dimensions and layout of your dining area. This quick and simple step will lead you to the perfect dining room set that much faster!
Take Measurements
Begin by taking measurements of your dining space to determine your dimensions. Take specific care to measure the area where you are planning to place your dining table and chairs. Always remember to account for pulling chairs out and negative space for walking around the dining set. The general rule is to allow for around 60 cm of space between your dining set and other furniture or the wall – this will make sure that the room is comfortable to move around which is essential in all family homes.
Consider The Layout
Have a think about how your dining set is going to fit into the room, and how you would like to place your new pieces. Whether it is an open-plan layout or you have a dedicated dining room, where and how you choose to display your set can have a big impact on the overall look, feel and flow of the space. There are a few tips and tricks you can follow to maximise your layout. For example, round rooms will look fantastic with a square dining table and minimal chairs, whilst a square room will balance in harmony with curved edges on a round dining table. You should also consider the overarching design theme of your home and think about how your next addition can extend the thematic flow of your interior styling. Keeping all interior choices cohesive will lead to a beautifully designed home that stays stylish from room to room.
How To Choose A Dining Set For Small Spaces
Finding the right dining set for small spaces becomes easy when you shop with intention. These tips will help you secure the perfect piece for your home.
Choose A Compact Style That Offers Comfort And Design
For a smart investment, look for dining sets that are high-style but also offer additional functionalities that make your dining routines effortless.
A simple yet striking style with clean lines in a minimalist design will help to visually declutter the space and won’t take up extra space. The Tuscan 1400/1800 Small Extension Package with Newport Chairs is the ultimate choice for those searching for an additional layer of custom functionality to maximise their smaller dining area. Made in simple, structured square lines with matching dining chairs in beautifully reclaimed timber, this piece gives you the option to extend the dining table size to make the set work for you both during family dinners and for entertaining when there are more people seated around the table. Switch it and make it work for whatever the day has in store for you!
Choose A Rounded Shape
If you have a square dining area and you want to add some smooth, rounded lines to keep the space light and airy, then the Byron 1100 Dining Package with Byron Dining Chairs is an excellent investment. Made from signature timber with light-toned design features for added brightness, this is an ideal choice for families looking to create a cosy dining area in a kitchen or living space, or for those with a more compact dining room that you want to make the most out of. Neutral and timeless, the rustic design of this dining set works well with many different styles of interior design, so it is a classic choice that you can accessorise to make your own.
Opt For A Dining Set With A Bench
For a stunning addition that does not overcrowd any room, choose a dining set with benches instead of chairs. The benches can seamlessly tuck beneath the table when not in use for a beautifully light look that still gives you the function you need for family time around the table. This is a particularly great decision for those with smaller children. The Tuscan 1800 Bar Table Package With Benches is a stylish piece that promises to serve as the perfect spot for pre-school breakfast, dinners and a makeshift place for studying or catching up with friends.
