Choosing the right dining set from ARV Furniture can greatly enhance your dining space. Here are some helpful tips to guide your selection:
1. Measure Your Space
Room Dimensions: Ensure there’s at least 3 feet of clearance around the table for easy movement.
Seating Needs: Consider the number of people you host regularly.
2. Choose the Right Shape
Rectangular Tables: Ideal for long, narrow rooms.
Round or Oval Tables: Great for smaller spaces, promoting conversation.
Square Tables: Perfect for compact dining areas or square-shaped rooms.
3. Material Matters
Wood (e.g., Oak, Walnut, or Mahogany): Classic, durable, and easy to maintain.
Glass: Creates a spacious and airy look, ideal for modern aesthetics.
Marble or Stone: Elegant but requires more maintenance.
Metal or Industrial Finishes: Offers durability and a contemporary feel.
4. Style and Design
For a modern look, opt for clean lines and minimal detailing.
For a traditional style, choose sets with ornate designs and warm wood tones.
For a boho-chic vibe, mix wood textures with upholstered chairs.
5. Seating Options
Benches: Ideal for maximizing seating in smaller spaces.
Upholstered Chairs: Provide added comfort for long dinners.
Stackable or Foldable Chairs: Great for flexibility in smaller apartments.
6. Color Coordination
Light-colored sets brighten smaller rooms.
Dark wood finishes provide a bold, cozy feel.
7. Functionality
Consider extendable tables if you often entertain guests.
Look for tables with built-in storage for added convenience.
8. Durability and Maintenance
For easier cleaning, opt for stain-resistant finishes or waterproof materials.
If you have kids or pets, consider materials that withstand daily wear and tear.
