Dining Room Sets

Since everyone will gather and spend plenty of time at the dining table, the key here is to keep them happy and comfortable. That means your dining room set should be highly functional and easy on the eyes. Luckily, there are many dining room sets to choose from that have been designed with these needs in mind.

The Zinna 5-Piece Dining Package offers gorgeous, Hollywood glam to your dining room. The dining table features a sleek, white lacquer top and a brushed gold base. Since the plush dining chairs are made with a luxuriously soft textile, your guests will always dine in comfort and style.

For dining rooms that lean more towards modern and contemporary design, the Cucuta Two-Toned 7-Piece Dining Package would fit right in. The two-tone table design features neutral colours, which can fit seamlessly into whatever decor you currently have. With the comfortable, contoured dining chairs, your family or guests will never  want to leave the table.

Round tables offer a more intimate experience, as you can seat everyone around them easily. Suitable for four, the Dash Marble Round Dining Table with  stunning matte white marble top is great for smaller households.

Mix and Match Your Dining Table & Chairs

A dining room set isn't your only option. With so many dining room tables and chairs out there, there's no shortage of combinations that you can personally create to fit any style.

Sometimes you want to work with dining room furniture you already have, or combine different pieces together for a personalized look. Rather than focusing on creating a matching ensemble, you'll introduce another level of visual appeal by choosing a table and separate chairs that have complementary textures, colours, and designs.

Interested in the idea, but not sure how to approach mixing and matching? Here's an example. Start with a simple but versatile dining table like the Drongon Dining Table.  For extra texture and depth, pair it with colourful velvet seating like the Preeze Performance Velvet Dining Chair - Grey in sea blue. The result? An appealing and custom look that's reflective of your personal style.

If you're using different styles of dining chairs, just remember to choose chairs that have equal heights. This ensures that everyone sits at the same level when they're seated at the table. Pay attention to the dimensions of your chairs as well – your dining chairs should fit around your table and let your guests get in and out comfortably.

Gorgeous & Practical Dining Room Additions

Gathering around the dinner table is the best opportunity to bring out your finest dinnerware and glassware. If you enjoy entertaining your family with new recipes, or have a designated cocktail night, extra storage for the essential tools is incredibly useful. These pieces are perfect for your dining room and add those final touches that will complete the space.

Keep your wine and glassware in a stylish and practical piece like the Aketi Cabinet. Your favourite bottles of wine will always be within reach when they're housed within the cabinet's built in wine rack.

If you're looking to store your tableware, linens, and other dining accessories close at hand, look for something sleek like the Salikene 4 Door Sideboard. In addition to its exceptional functionality, the Salikene flaunts a geometric, raised pattern on the door fronts, making it a head-turner in any space.
