upgrade your home, consider several factors. First, this set likely will be for
much more than formal occasional dinners. Today’s casual, friendly lifestyles
and popular open floorplans lend themselves to versatile dining tables and seating.

Through the years and with designers’ advice we’ve figured out how best to make
a well-informed choice for your household.
Which Size and Shape Dining Table Should YOU Have?
When you miss the mark measuring your space for your dining table, you end up either with the table crowding out your chairs or lots of
dead space making your room look bad. So be very judicious with your yardstick
or tape measure, checking out how much square footage you have. Write it all
down, and measure again. It’s crucial! Anyway, when you have a handle on your
room’s dimensions, you can plan and shop online or visit the store. Here are
some basic dining room table rules to live by. Make sure the table is at least
two feet from the walls. This guarantees that your dining room set will dominate
the room without being overpowering. The optimal clearance space between the
table and your walls is one yard, that is, 36 inches. Also, choose a table width
practical enough so everyone seated can comfortably reach the center to serve
themselves, pass the vegetable bowl or gravy boat, etc. A standard for this criterion
is 4 feet or less. Your new dining table’s top should be around 30 inches above
your floor.
Fitting Dining Chairs into Your Room
To determine your dining furniture’s optimal seat-to-table
distance, try out various pieces in the store. It’s paramount that your chair
can slide under the table without knocking anything. A novel idea in dining
decor is to artfully contrast styles (not clash) in chairs, dining benches, and
tables rather than have everything match. Don’t be afraid to experiment with a
bit of whimsy.
