Stylish sleek and contemporary or traditional and grand – dining room furniture comes in many styles
Whether you want a fine dining experience or a romantic table for two dining experience there is dining room furniture to fit the bill.
If you are lucky enough to have a separate dining table then you can completely go to town with your dining room furniture. A grand pedestal table with inlaid wood or a vast solid oak table with luxurious leather chairs can be yours. Even if you don’t have a separate dining room you can still make dining a grand experience by choosing the right table, chairs and table dressings. Sitting at a table to eat seems to have come back into fashion of late and that is a welcome thing. Sitting with friends and lingering over a meal is very much in vogue now and with good reason.
It wasn’t too long ago when people in their homes up and down the land plonked themselves in front of the TV with a dinner on a tray. Don’t get me wrong that still has its place but it’s not pleasant to do it every night of the week. The change to sitting properly at a table has been a gradual shift and the dining room furniture available today has played a small part in that shift. Smaller tables for smaller rooms and an abundance of styles, shapes and prices have meant most can afford to have a dining table and chairs. There has also been a bit of a change in the way we utilise the rooms in our homes with the kitchen come dining area having a huge resurgence.
Traditional family dining used to be in the kitchen as that tended to be the hub of the house. Kitchens were probably the most used rooms in the past in the days before central heating as they were the easiest to warm and keep warm. Old farmhouse kitchens featured a huge table in front of a cooking range and lots of activities would have gone on there. Today of course we have dining kitchens and dining rooms, and both of those can have dining room furniture in them. Some people also have dining furniture in their conservatory and that is an extremely popular room in modern houses.
As to the style of dining room furniture the list is almost endless. Naturally you have the lovely solid wood tables in oak and pine, you also have the more rustic chunkier styles that look great in modern settings. If you like a more formal style there is plenty in the dark wood tones that lend themselves to grand table settings. Maybe there’s just the two of you, that doesn’t mean you can’t get dining furniture suitable for cosy twosomes. There are plenty of very good dining sets that are small but perfect for two to dine together.
The return to proper dining is very welcome and it allows us to spend quality time with our families that we would struggle to get otherwise. Life today can be hectic and every member of the family home at the same time is rare which makes meal times almost grab and go. Wherever you have your dining room furniture, be sure to use it for as many family gatherings as possible. Make time to dine properly as a family and you will reap the rewards of being closer. If necessary set a date and all sit down together even if its once a month sharing a takeaway over a grand table.
