Dining room furniture is the centerpiece of any dining room, and selecting the right pieces of furniture is a big job. Having a basic understanding of how to go through the selection process can really help make it a whole lot easier. Here are some very important things to keep in mind whenever you are shopping for dining room furniture.
Style
One of the first things most people consider when shopping for dining room furniture is style. Remember that the dining room is where the family gathers and the place where company will eat meals with you. Dining room furniture needs to portray part of your personality while still offering a high degree of functionality. There are many different styles of dining room furniture available. Some sets of furniture may offer just a table and chairs, while others may have an optional hutch that can be purchased as well. Just remember that the style of the furniture should show part of your own personality. It can be modern or contemporary, classic or rustic. If you need some clues on what kind of style to consider, take a look around your kitchen. The style of your kitchen cabinets and your appliances can provide important clues about the style of dining room furniture you will be looking for.
Materials
Most pieces of dining room furniture are made of wood or a material that is very similar to wood. It is very important to look for pieces that are made of solid wood rather than a material like medium density fiberboard. This material is much softer than solid wood and can easily scratch. Also it is much easier for the finish to come off of medium density fiberboard. Most products made from this material are very low quality and will not last for generations like a solid wood table will.
Once you are sure that the pieces you are considering are all solid wood, then it is only a matter of considering which color and kind of wood you prefer. In some cases it does help to match the kind and color of wood to your kitchen cabinets.
Types of Dining Room Furniture
It is also important to understand the different types of furniture that are available for dining rooms. Of course the table and chairs are the most important part, and many people do not have any dinning furniture except the table and chairs. Tables can either be the standard dining room table height, or they can be a little bit taller, which is known as counter height. These taller tables also come with taller chairs, that are about the height of barstools. Spend some time looking at tables of both heights so that you can easily decide which height of table you prefer.
Also think about how many chairs you might need and the size of table you will need to fit that many chairs. In some cases, you might want to purchase extra chairs and a table that has a leaf or two. A leaf makes the table a little bit larger than it usually is so that there is plenty of room for everyone when family members come over for special occasions.
Another very common type of dining furniture is a hutch. Hutches can be used for storage of extra little random things, or they can be used to display glasses or dishware. Just make sure to measure the space before purchasing any furniture, and especially before purchasing a hutch to add to the room. A hutch that crowds the room will only detract from your beautiful dining space.
