Ultimate Dining Room Furniture Checklist

Designing a dining room in a new house or apartment or reorganizing the old one is a bit challenging. Whether it is intended to be a room where you enjoy meals together with your family and friends, or just a room that gets used on holidays only, you have to make sure your dining room is equipped with everything necessary. So, here is FurnitureCart’s must-have list.

Before buying or choosing the furniture items you want and need, please consider these 3:
1) the size of your dining area;
2) how big a dining room set you need/want (how big the table and how many the chairs);
3) your lifestyle needs (with the dining room ?).

✅Dining Table

This piece is #1 to choose, as it plays a big part when setting the whole scene. Depending on space available, you might think about whether having the regular dining table in one of the shapes from the row (oval, rectangular, round, square, any other whimsical shape) or having a counter-height dining table to serve you double (as a dining and a prep space, and even as a partying spot).

 

✅Dining Chairs, Bench or Stools

Having dining chairs, stools, or a bench from the same collection to match the style of your table will save you hours and your head from any headaches. When choosing proper dining seating furniture, please consider the best for you: comfort level, seat level, durability, materials.

 

✅Sideboard or Buffet, Credenza, or maybe Server?

A handy nice-to-have furniture piece, increasing the functionality of your dining room. A serving station that is as storage furniture for dinnerware, special-occasion dishes, linens, serving platters. The buffet‘s surface is a great place to display a vase with fresh flowers and decorative objects. For some events, it becomes a drink station. You can easily place an extra lamp there for romantic and dim lights or have more than one light source in a spacious room.

 

✅”Overtable” Lighting

Btw, speaking of lights! Overhead lighting in a dining room right over the table – is a total win for the room design and a healthy appetite. Chose the one that will match your overall home design and your dining room set style, and it will pull the room together and make it look complete.

 

✅Display Cabinet or Curio

With plenty of options to store and display the good stuff to be kept in the dining room, it is an extra furniture piece that is good to have. Depending on the space left, you have different-size options with Furniture Cart. Whether you prefer keeping some valuable stuff locked – please opt for having a locker available.
