How to Perfectly Design Scaled Dining Room

Being a great hostess isn’t easy. The key starts with great design. Nobody wants anybody to squeeze between the chairs and the wall, or have someone trip over the rug. Your dining room forms the heart of the house where you spend quality time with your kids, relatives and guests.

So, your dining space should be cozy at the same time should be spacious enough for easy movement.

Some standards are there that you must follow wile designing your dining space. The trick of the trade is to leave at minimum 36 inches between the edge of your dining table and the wall or other furniture.

Keeping at least 45 inches between your table and the dining room entryway will also keep from any bottlenecking in and out during dinnertime. When deciding on a rug, add about 2 feet on each side of the dining table to achieve an “optimal” size.

When it comes to deciding shape Round Table vs. Rectangular Table-

Round dining room tables create a more intimate environment than other shapes, so they’re great for family gatherings or dinner parties with your best of friends. Round tables are also a great option for kitchens or spaces without a designated dining room.

For the round table: If you have a large dining room, a large round table does make it difficult for guests to talk across the table. If you prefer to entertain for large groups, a rectangular or oval table may be your better option.

You can also draw on themes from your living room and dining space combining it with bar stools open design concept.

Rectangular dining tables are practical, fits easily in a dining room, and most importantly, it looks great. The oval table is the more unusual dining room table shape, but if your space allows it, it can serve as an elegant contour to your room.

Add up with perfect pendant light and a cabinet. Enjoy your space with your loved ones!
