How to create a stylish and functional dining room?
The dining room is a place where family or friends meet for meals. As you know, the basic element of the dining room is the table. When choosing a table, you should take into account the number of people and the style in which you want to have a dining room.

What should be in the dining room?
The dining room should have elements that are conducive to comfortable and pleasant meals and foster an atmosphere for dining with family or friends. Here are some of the basic elements that can be found in a dining room:
- Table and chairs: Obvious but key elements. Choose a table and chairs that are appropriate for the number of people who will typically eat in the dining room.
- Lighting: Good lighting above the table is important to allow for comfortable eating and conversation. A pendant lamp above the dining table can be an effective solution.
- Decorations: Add decorative elements that add character to your dining room. These can be flowers, paintings, mirrors, carpets, or other decorative elements.
- Cabinets or bookcases: Store cutlery, dishes, and glasses in them. This will ensure that everything is available in one place, making it easier to prepare for meals.
- Tableware: Choose nice and functional dishes, cutlery, glasses and shot glasses. They can also bring style elements to your dining room.
- Extra seating: If you have enough space, you may want to consider adding additional seating, such as a bench, chair, or pouf.
- Decorative textiles: Create a cosy atmosphere with tablecloths, chair cushions or curtains.
- Bar or bar table: If you have space, an extra table top or bar table can be usefulwhen serving drinks or as an extra place to eat.
- Kitchen nearby: If possible, make sure the dining area is easily accessible from the kitchen, which will make it easier to serve and bring food.

How to choose the right dining table?
Choosing the right dining table is important because the table plays a key role in the space where meals are eaten and meetings are held. When choosing a dining table, it’s important to consider both aesthetics and functionality. By considering the steps above, you can find a table that fits your needs and lifestyle perfectly. Here are a few steps to help you choose the right dining table:
- Room size: Before you start looking for a table, measure the available space. Size restrictions will help you determine how big a table you can afford to buy.
- Capacity: Determine how many people will typically use the dining room. This will help you choose the right size table. Be sure to leave enough space for each guest to move around comfortably and enjoy the table.
- Table shape: Choose a table shape that fits the shape of the room and your preferences. Common shapes include rectangle, square, circle, and oval.
Rectangular tables are the most popular and fit most rooms.
Square tables are excellent for regular-shaped rooms as well as for smaller groups.
Round tables are great for smaller group conversations because everyone is equally accessible. A round table and white chairs will bring a unique charm to the interior.
Extendable tables will provide comfort during meetings in a larger group. - Material & Style: Choose a material that matches the style of your dining room and is easy to keep clean. Wood, metal, glass, and laminates are popular choices. Also, match the style of the table with the rest of the interior décor.
- Additional features: Consider whether you need a table with additional features, such as extendable tops (expandable tables), drawers for small items, or storage space.
