Dining Room FAQ
Every dining room is different, but the questions homeowners ask are surprisingly similar. Whether you're dealing with a small space, trying to choose between furniture styles, or figuring out the best layout, these frequently asked questions provide practical answers to help you design a dining room that fits your needs perfectly.How to decorate a dining room?
Start with your dining table as the focal point, then choose chairs that complement it. Add a rug under the table to define the space and hang a light fixture at the right height. Consider a buffet or sideboard for storage and display. Wall art, mirrors, or a gallery wall can add personality. Keep the color scheme consistent throughout the roomWhat size rug for dining room?
Choose a rug that's large enough for all chair legs to stay on it when people sit down. A good rule is to add 4-6 feet to your table dimensions. Round dining table pair well with round rugs, while rectangular tables look best with rectangular rugs. Make sure there's enough space between the rug edge and walls or other furniture.What size chandelier for dining room?
Your chandelier diameter should be about half the width of your dining table. For example, a 4-foot table needs a 2-foot wide chandelier. Hang it 30-36 inches above the table surface for proper lighting and clearance. Consider your ceiling height too. Rooms with 9-foot ceilings can handle larger fixtures. Make sure it doesn't overwhelm the space or block conversation across the table.How to furnish dining room?
Begin with essential pieces: table, chairs, and lighting that work within your budget and space constraints. Add storage furniture based on your needs for dishes, linens, and serving items. Consider multipurpose pieces like extendable tables or benches with storage. Layer in comfort through cushions, rugs, and appropriate window treatments. Keep the layout functional while reflecting your personal style preferences.What is the dining room?
A dining room is a dedicated space in your home where families and guests gather to share meals together. Ashley offers complete dining room furniture collections to help you create this important gathering space. It typically features a table with chairs and serves as the central location for eating, conversations, and celebrations. Most dining rooms include storage for dishes and serving pieces, along with proper lighting.How to furnish small dining room?
Choose a round or oval dining that takes up less space than rectangular options and allows better traffic flow. Ashley offers space-saving dining sets designed specifically for smaller rooms and apartments. Consider chairs that tuck completely under the table or a bench that slides underneath. Use wall-mounted storage instead of bulky cabinets. Mirrors can make the space feel larger, and good lighting prevents the room from feeling cramped.Show more
