Dining room: how to furnish it from the table to the lighting

The dining room is the place in the house where the table is placed and where to meet after a day of work, but also where friends and guests are welcomed for moments of sharing. Whether it is independent or communicating with the living room or kitchen, furnishing the dining room requires care and attention to make it welcoming and functional at the same time. The elements to consider in the dining room furniture are numerous and, among these, we certainly find the table and chairs as well as chandeliers and decorative objects.

The table: the central element of the dining room

In the middle of the dining room is the table that must be chosen not only based on the style but also according to the needs of the house. The round or square table adapts to a more modern environment. Opting for an extendable table that can go from four to twelve seats may be the right choice if you have little space available.

• veneered oak;
• mortar effect;
• melamine;
• open pore lacquered.

The perfect chairs for a modern dining room

Once the table has been chosen, it is necessary to identify the chairs that must be comfortable. You can opt for chairs that match the chosen table or that recall the colors of the dining room but, for an effect that immediately attracts the gaze, you can choose chairs that are not equal to each other both in color and shape. They should always be chosen based on the available space as each diner must have at least 60 cm available!

Chandeliers and centerpieces for an extra touch to the dining room

Light is certainly another important element to take into consideration in the dining room. The table should therefore be placed under the chandelier to have a good light. If the table is too big, you can also choose to use more light points.
