- 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!
