Tips To Create The Perfect Modern Dining Room Furniture Layout

A modern dining room furniture layout should be able to accommodate both everyday meals and elegant feasts while reflecting your home’s personality and style. With the perfect layout, you can create the perfect space for dining and entertaining.

Listed below are tips for an effective dining room furniture layout:

Table Shape

When selecting a dining table, you need to keep in mind how many people will be seated at any given time, your entertaining style as well as the room’s dimensions. Elongated and rectangular tables are well suited for narrow and large rooms. Round and square tables work best in open concept and small spaces to encourage conversation. These tables have adjustable leaves that enable you to adjust the size of the table according to the number of diners.

Table Placement

The placement of your dining table should never interrupt the flow of traffic in your space. It helps to consider pathways before arranging your furnishings.

Leave enough room between your walls and table so that diners can easily push their chairs back and stand up. In a formal dining space, enable 48 inches between the doorway and table. In an open concept space, place your table in the centre, in front of large windows or right under a light fixture. This will help delineate your dining space.

Chairs
Your chairs must get enough space so that you can neatly tuck them under the dining table. To select the best seating type (if you’re not purchasing a dining table set), consider mix and match styles. If you have space constraints, consider a modern or contemporary dining table set. 

China Cabinets and Buffets

Both buffets and china cabinets can act like double-duty pieces. While providing storage space to store dinner and silver ware, you may use the surface to set up a buffet, serve drinks or even display your wine collection. If you’ve got a very small dining space, consider a bar cart. Not only can you use to serve drinks but store dinnerware as well.
