Whether you have a separate dining room, a kitchen dining area or even a small dining table at the back of the lounge room, it can be daunting trying to find the right table setting for you. Here are some helpful tips and ideas:

modern dining room

Select a dining table that compliments the shape of your dining area

A square room can be softened by a round table, or given a contemporary look with a square table. Rectangular tables are great for larger families, people whom entertain often, or acting as a multi-purpose table; extra working space for example.

Mix and match your dining room chairs

Mixing different styles, as long as they are similar in height and colour can add individuality to your dining space.

Leave space

Make sure you leave over a metre for chair pull-back space around your dining table.

Dining area sharing a space?

If your dining area is sharing space with an open-plan kitchen, consider "separating the spaces" with area rugs or a decorative dividing screen. Lighting can also work well in this situation: use brighter task lighting in the kitchen, and softer ambient lighting in the dining area.
