Dining Room Furniture - Tips to help you shop for dining room furniture
If you are decorating or remodeling your dining room, The
American Furniture Manufacturers Association makes the following recommendations
for dining room furniture shopping:
- First decide on the tone of the room. Do you want
formal elegance or casual comfort?
- Decide on a budget.
- Measure and evaluate your space to see what pieces
you can accommodate.
- Basic pieces for a well-equipped dining room are
generally a table and chairs, a china cabinet for display and storage and a
sideboard or buffet for serving and additional storage.
- The dining table and chairs serve as the
centerpiece of the room – this is a good place to start.
- When shopping, look underneath the table to see how
it is supported – four legs, pedestal, trestles – you want something
that will be comfortable for you and your guests when seated.
- Dining tables are generally constructed of wood,
metal or natural or cast stone, often with a glass or stone top.
- Most materials also are offered in a variety of
finishes, from light to dark. Examine the finish by rubbing your hands
across the top and sides.
- Be sure to take a seat in the dining chairs and sit
back for a while. Wiggle the backs, legs and arms. Do they feel sturdy? Are
they comfortable?
- Once you've selected your major furniture pieces,
move to the finishing touches: accessories. They will help you create the
right ambience.
- Most importantly, enjoy the process!
