Dining Room - Space to consider! 


To enjoy your dining room to the fullest, make sure you leave enough space around the table so that people can get in and out of their chairs comfortably, and the person who is serving can move around the table without trouble.


  • Space for occupied chairs from edge of table to back of chair:
  • 1’.6” to 1’.10”
  • Space to get into chairs: 2’.6” to 3’
  • Traffic path around table and occupied chairs for serving: 1’.6” to 2’
  • If you’re using armchairs, remember to add 2” to the measurements.

    Using Color



    Red is the perfect color for a dining room.

    It gives a warm, dramatic feel, enhances the appetite, encourages socialising, and is flattering on the complexion.

    Combine red with gorgeous, low level lighting and plush seating, as here.

    Dining Room With A View

    Make the most of a gorgeous window, and view over the garden.

    Choose warm, deep colors for a dining room to be used in the evenings.

     Room For  Big Party

    Choose a large table, or one that can easily be extended, to cater for parties and special occasions.

    Upholstered chairs look the business, and are soft and comfortable for a relaxed evening meal.

    Ground the Dining Room



    The whole, warming, color scheme of this room is focused on the pretty fabric of the curtains.

    The rug looks really good, and does an excellent job of drawing attention to the dining table - but take care it doesn't get too messy at meal times!

    Note the way the table centre-piece really complements the whole color scheme.

    Mix Match in Traditional Dining Room

    A very sophisticated dining room, with a very smart, tiled floor.

    Look how comfortable, easy chairs have been sat at the ends of the table - for much more versatility around the room - and comfort!

    The table centre-pieces are unusual - but, again, really suit the whole look and color scheme of this room.








    Go Casual

    A lovely, simple, casual dining room.

    Make sure you use woods that are all similar in tone, to make a look like this work.

    Add a fab, statement piece, such as this unusual, pendant, centre-light.
