What Pieces Complete A Dining Room?

Are you building your first dining room or looking to replace your existing dining set totally? Learn more about all the pieces you need and how to put them together to create an amazing dining room experience for guests.

Dining Room Chairs

Dining room chair sets are designed for seating around the table and support the posture most suitable for mealtimes. They are typically sized to fit with most dining tables (though they should be measured). Beyond that, these chairs come in a great variety with varying arms rests, back heights, and materials. There are also dining benches and other alternative dining room sets.

Dining Tables

Dining tables are large tables designed to comfortably seat people for meals. They are often the center of the rooms they are in, so their designs stand out. Round and rectangular dining tables each offer their own unique appeal—round tables encourage conversation and intimacy, while rectangular tables are ideal for hosting larger gatherings or fitting into longer rooms. Both styles can feature a variety of high-quality tabletop materials, including wood, ceramic, or stone, adding elegance and character to any dining space.

Bar Furniture

Bar furniture is an alternative type of furniture that may be combined with dining furniture or substituted for dining furniture in small apartments. These pieces have space-maximizing dimensions (for example, counter-height chairs) and match high countertops, kitchen islands, and other high surfaces that need seating.

Sideboards

Sideboards are an important kind of dining room storage. They are typically designed to effectively store dining sets, including plates, cups, and large serving dishes.  They often feature interesting designs or materials that help them fit into the design of the rest of the room.

What is a good size for a dining table?

The best size for your dining table will depend greatly on where you want to place it. Consider the size of your room and choose a size that doesn’t make the room feel too crowded. Next, consider your entertaining needs and choose a table large enough for the socializing you plan to do. 

Which dining table is best, round or rectangular?

The shape of your table can play a large role in the final look of your room. Round tables match well with other organic designs, just as square tables match other geometric designs. 

What color should your dining room table be?

The right color for a dining table can come down to taste. Most wood tabletops can stand alone in a variety of color schemes. Shades like white and black can add an interesting look to many spaces. 

What is the standard height of a kitchen & dining room table?

Most dining tables have the same standard height. Unless they are adjustable, they are usually between 28" and 30" high. This is a deliberate height. Most people can comfortably rest their feet on the floor at this height, making it an effective size for dining over a long period.

How many chairs should be used with a dining table?

The number of appropriate chairs for your table will depend on the size. There are some general rules you can follow for rectangular and round tables: 

Rectangular Tables

• 48 inches (4 feet): Can seat 4 people
• 60-72 inches (5-6 feet): Can seat 6 people
• 80-87 inches (7 feet): Can seat 8 people
• 92-108 inches (8-9 feet): Can seat 10 people
• 120 inches (10 feet): Can seat 12 people

Round Tables

• 30 inches: Can seat 2-4 people
• 42 inches: Can seat 4-5 people
• 48 inches: Can seat 5-6 people
• 60 inches: Can seat 6-8 people
• 72 inches: Can seat 8-10 people

Our in-store staff can also help you choose the perfect table for your needs.

Should chairs be lighter or darker than the table?

There are different opinions about this. One of the most common rules is that the dining chairs should be the same color as the table or darker. 

However, this is not a hard rule. Some designers argue that lighter chairs can make a room feel more open. It may help create a sense of more space in smaller rooms. Darker chairs are associated with depth and richness. They can make a room feel cozier but also, more enclosed. Choose the chairs that fit the feeling you want to create. 

Do dining chairs have to fit under a table?

One of the reasons that it’s important to get table measurements correct is that it ensures all the chairs will fit without sticking out in your dining space. Most designers agree that chairs should fit under a table to create the best impression.

What is the difference between a sideboard and a buffet?

The terms buffet and sideboard are often used as synonyms. However, these pieces of furniture have their own history based on how they are used. 

Buffets are named because they were used to hold up food for serving. They were often located near the table, and were decorative and useful.  To serve this purpose, they were built to be slightly higher to allow for easier reach during events.

Sideboards, on the other hand, were originally designed for storage. They were meant to hold spare serving dishes for larger events. They tend to be smaller and shorter because they are meant to be less obtrusive.

How big should a sideboard be compared to the dining table?

Interior designers generally agree that a sideboard should be proportional to the table.

This is because the dining table and sideboard are often the largest pieces of furniture in the dining room. When they are the same size, they can appear well-balanced. When one is larger than the other, it can demand “attention” as the centerpiece of furniture in the room, even if you have different intentions for the look of your room.
