Holiday Hosting: Dining Room Furniture

The holidays are here, and it’s time to welcome family and friends for festive meals and fun. Having the right dining room furniture can make hosting easier and more enjoyable. With the right table, chairs, and setup, your space can be both beautiful and functional for all your holiday gatherings.

Picking the Perfect Dining Table

The dining table is the star of your dining room. Choosing the right shape and size can help create a comfortable and inviting space for your guests.

• Round and Oval Tables: Round and oval tables are ideal for intimate gatherings, as they encourage conversation and ensure everyone feels included. With no sharp corners, these tables create a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, their size may make them less practical for larger groups. 

One excellent option for a round table is the Arley Dining Group. This set includes a chic round table with a sturdy wooden top and modern white legs, paired with coordinating chairs. The chairs feature padded seats and elegant white frames, offering both comfort and style. Whether you’re hosting a family dinner or enjoying a quiet meal, this set transforms your dining area into a welcoming space.

• Square and Rectangular Tables: These shapes are great for bigger groups and fit nicely in most rooms. A narrower rectangular table (about 36 inches wide) can help guests feel closer to each other while still providing enough room for food and drinks.

For those seeking a full dining ensemble, the Marley Dining Group delivers both style and practicality. This set includes a sturdy dining table with a sleek white frame, matching side chairs, an upholstered bench, and a two-door server. The padded seats on the chairs and bench ensure comfort, while the server provides convenient storage to keep your dining space organized. With its combination of contemporary charm and functionality, the Marley Dining Group creates a welcoming atmosphere perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.

• Extendable Tables: If you host both small and large groups, an extendable table is a smart choice. Built-in leaves are easy to expand and store, while detachable leaves are more budget-friendly.
  
  -The Hyland Counter Table is a great extendable table. Its counter-height design, paired with a dove gray and smoky oak two-tone finish, adds a modern yet relaxed feel to your dining area. The oil-rubbed nickel hardware complements its neutral tones, making it versatile for both casual and formal settings. This table features hidden storage with two doors underneath and a shelf for displaying décor or storing essentials. With its 20-inch leaf extension, the Hyland Counter Table can seat up to eight guests, making it an excellent choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.

Essential Dining Room Furniture

Comfortable chairs like the Lynnfield dining chair or Merida upholstered dining chair are just as important as a good table. Look for chairs with soft cushions and supportive backs, so your guests stay comfortable during long meals.

A buffet like the Bronwyn Buffett or Bellamy Buffett is also a must-have. Buffets add extra storage for plates, utensils, and serving dishes and can also double as a serving station for food or desserts.
