Your dining room is the center of your home where you enjoy meals with your family every day, have guests gathered around for fun, or even use it as your home office working area. A myriad of precious and long-lasting memories are made in this room. Therefore, the dining room deserves to be given your high attention and special care to become both an attractive and functional space.
Here we’d like to share the top 5 essential things for your dining room to help you build up your dream room!
Dining Table – The Foundation
We all agree that the dining table is the heart of a dining room as almost everything happens around it. In this case, it is very important to make sure you choose the best dining table for your room.
First, size should be the No.1 thing to consider when picking a dining table. Measure the dimensions of your dining room and decide how many pieces of furniture you would like to place in this room then figure out how much space you intend to leave for the dining table.
Next, you should think about your demand for functionality that whether you need it to be foldable to suit your limited space or expandable to seat more people on some specific occasions.
After confirming your need for size and functions, you can continue to look at the shape and material, which contribute greatly to determining the character of the room.
Dining Chairs – Must-have Pieces
There’s no way that you leave out dining chairs after you purchased a dining table. Getting the right set of dining chairs for your dining room can be a little bit tricky as there are a great many pieces to choose from. We suggest you start by looking at the vibe of the room – is it casual or formal? Simple or luxurious?Modern or retro?
Wooden dining chairs are great additions for farmhouse-style rooms in a rustic tone. Metal dining chairs are excellent for industrial-chic space. Linen, velvet or leather upholstered dining chairs are perfect choices for modern and sophisticated dining rooms. Aside from the room style, the tone of the dining table should be paid attention to as well. Usually, it looks more compatible when the dining table and dining chairs match in a consistent vibe.
However, such consistency does not necessarily require for same materials or shapes. You can buy a set of dining chairs in the same look or create your unique and distinctive set by combining several in different finishes or designs.

Storage Furniture – Keep Things Clean and Tidy
If there’s still enough space left after the dining table and chairs are set, you can consider adding a piece of furniture for storage, for example, a storage cabinet, console table or storage cart. A storage cabinet like a buffet or sideboards can keep your tableware, cutlery and tablecloths clean and organized,especially ensure your valuable set of gorgeous porcelain or glassware is safe and protecting them from dust and getting broken.
If you would like to showcase your favorite pieces like framed photos, a vase of flowers, etc., a console table is a great option for you as it features a spacious top and open shelves for displacing and some of them also come with drawers for concealed storage.
Another nifty choice for storing utensils and appliances is a storage cart, many of which also have open shelves and some others are equipped with drawers and cupboards. With its equipped swivel casters, you can move the cart around easily to serve everyone in the dining room.
If you are a wine aficionado or wine collector, or expert connoisseur, a freestanding wine rack is a must for you to preserve your wine collectibles,turning your dining room into a home entertainment bar.
Rugs & Lighting – Enhance the Style
After settling the main furniture pieces for the dining room, it’s time to add something to give an extra touch of style to the room. A matching rug and lighting are essential elements to define a room as well as complement texture and color.
Apart from boosting warmth and comfort in your dining room, an area rug can do more -protects your floor, catches spills, highlights the center of the room and demonstrates your unique taste at the same time.Make sure your rug is in proportionate size to have all the dining chair legs sit on top of it to achieve a balanced look.
Lighting is also a key element to incorporate style into your dining room as it sets the tone and expresses the personality of the space. You can always do special on lighting. Ranging from light fixtures like pendant lights and splendid chandeliers to ambient lighting like wall scones and buffet lamps, you are provided with tons of choices from various brands and styles.
Table Styling & Room Decorations – Complete the Room
The last thing that should be on your checklist is styling decorations which are for completing your dining room. Table styling plays a significant role here in fulfilling the absolute focal point of the dining room. Candelabras, fresh flower vases, potted green plants, sheen glass arts,scented candles and other interesting ornaments are all appealing additions to an inviting dining room. It’s also a great idea to assort them in contrast shades and colors to create a visual punch.Don’t forget to decorate your wall with wallpaper and other adornments as well!
Wallpaper covers the maximum area of the space and should be in a consistent style with the dining table and chairs as well as the rug so that the overall style of your dining room can be clear and explicit. Additionally, you can add a few more decors like wall-mounted mirrors, art pieces or a photo wall to inject vigor and vitality to your dining room.

If my room was big enough I would love a big dining table with long benches. I love eating at the table but I must admit we don’t as often as we should.

The dining room is now one of the most important rooms in a house. In our house, it is where our family comes others to eat and catch up with each other–no technology is allowed in there.

We had so many memories made in our dining room. Definitely a room that deserves attention.

I was pleased to know I had most of these things in my dining room. No rug but it is small so that wouldn’t work for me.
