Dining Settings

How do I pick the right sized dining table set for my home?

Choosing the right sized dining table set for your home can be a bit tricky, but there are a few key factors to consider:

• Think about the size of your room and the number of people you'll typically be hosting for meals

• A good rule of thumb is to leave at least 95 cm of clearance around the table to allow for comfortable seating and movement

• For smaller spaces, a round dining table set may be a better option, as it can provide ample seating without taking up too much space

• Choose seating options that are right for you, we offer dining chairs, benches or a mix of both 

Dining sets are available in various sizes, including:

• 5 piece sets - seats 4

• 7 piece sets - seats 6

• 9 piece sets - seats 8

From upholstery to table size, our range of Australian-made dining tables, chairs and benches can be customised to suit any space.  

What shape should my dining table be?

When it comes to the shape of your dining table, there are several options to choose from including round, rectangular and square. The shape you choose will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of your room and your personal preferences:

• Rectangular dining tables: A popular choice, they can accommodate larger groups of people and work well in longer, narrower rooms

• Square dining tables: A good option for smaller spaces and can create a cosy, intimate atmosphere

• Round dining tables: A great choice for more casual dining and can create a sense of flow and unity in a space

What else should I consider when buying a dining table and chairs?

In addition to the size and shape of your dining table and dining chairs, there are several other factors to consider when making a purchase.

One important consideration is the material of the table and chairs. Here are some popular options, each with their own benefits and drawbacks:

•Timber tables are popular due to their natural beauty and durability

•Glass tables can give a room an elegant and sophisticated contemporary look

•Marble tables offer a stunning visual aesthetic with robust stone properties

•Outdoor dining tables and settings elevate your backyard space for delightful alfresco dining thanks to weather-hardy designs

Comfort is a key consideration when choosing dining chairs. Look for chairs with ample cushioning and good back support to ensure your guests are comfortable during long meals. It's also important to consider the height of your dining table and chairs, as a mismatched set can be uncomfortable and awkward to use.

Don't forget to consider the style of your dining table and chairs. A cohesive, well-designed dining set can add a sense of elegance and sophistication to your home, while a mismatched set can detract from the overall look and feel of the space. Take the time to choose a dining set that complements your personal style and the aesthetic of your home.
