The dining room is one of the most important meeting places in the home. It's where family and friends gather – to eat, to chat, to laugh. A well-designed dining room combines functionality, comfort, and style. In this guide by KAQTU We'll show you what you should pay attention to when furnishing your home - from choosing the right dining table to the right lighting and decoration.
1. The right dining table – shape, size and style
The dining table is the centerpiece of your dining room. First, consider how much space you have available and how many people will be sitting at it regularly:
- Round dining tables appear communicative and fit well in smaller rooms.
- Rectangular tables offer more space and are ideal for larger households.
- Extendable tables are flexible and perfect for guests.
Look for high-quality materials such as solid wood or veneered oak – robust and durable. Discover our Collection of dining tables – including bestsellers such as the Bridge table from Mobimex or the Storm table from Zuiver.
2. Dining room chairs – comfortable, stylish and coordinated
Comfortable Chairs invite you to linger – whether for a long dinner or a quick breakfast. Choose upholstered chairs with or without armrests – depending on the space available. Combine materials such as wood, fabric, or faux leather with your table selection:
- For a modern flair: slim chairs in Schwarz or gray
- For Scandinavian style: light wooden chairs with fabric upholstery
- For an industrial look: Metal with leather look
Popular models include the Konna Chair from Kave Home, the Albert Kuip from Zuiver and the Curious Chair from UmageYou can find all of them in our Dining chair collection.
3. The right lighting – combining mood and function
A well-chosen light makes your dining area a highlight. Particularly popular are:
- Pendant lights directly above the table – preferably with dimming function
- Multi-flame lights at long tables
- Wall lights for additional atmosphere
For stylish accents we recommend the Belle pendant light from Zuiver. You can find more ideas in our Lighting collection.
4. Decoration & Tableware
With the right decor, you can bring life to your dining room. Make sure you choose a harmonious combination of:
- table linen (Blankets, sets, napkins)
- Vases and candle holders
- Plant or seasonal elements such as branches or dried flowers
High-quality tableware and stylish glasses are also included. Discover our decoration and our Tableware collection for stylish ceilings and decorating.
5. Storage space in the dining room
A Sideboard or Buffet is both practical and elegant. Here you can store dishes, tablecloths, or glasses within easy reach. Models in oak or with slatted fronts are particularly popular. Our recommendation: the Mailing Collection from Kave Home or the Seven Regal from Zuiver.
