Designing a Dining Space That Brings People Together

Choose the Right Table Size

Your dining table should seat your household comfortably, with room to spare for guests. Allow about 60 cm of width per person, and keep at least 90 cm between the table edge and the wall or sideboard so chairs can move freely.

Mix Chairs With Intention

You do not have to match every chair. A consistent style with subtle variation looks modern and inviting, and mixing a bench on one side can make the space feel relaxed and flexible.

Light the Table Well

Lighting sets the mood for every meal. Hang a pendant or chandelier about 70 to 80 cm above the tabletop, and consider a dimmer so you can move from bright family dinners to soft evening gatherings.

Add Warmth With Materials

Solid wood tables bring warmth and age beautifully, while marble tops add a refined, contemporary touch. Pair your table with comfortable upholstered chairs to keep long dinners enjoyable.
