Dining room essentials: guide to the perfect choice

The dining room is not only a place to enjoy delicious meals, but also a place to get together and share the day and wonderful moments with loved ones. To make our favorite moments cozy, we need a suitable dining table and, of course, extremely comfortable chairs. At MöbelFirst you will find the right dining room essentials for your stylish dining area!

The perfect dining table for stylish meals

First, of course, we should start with the size and shape. Ideally, the dining table should be proportional to the size of the room. The table should not be too big for the room, otherwise it will seem overwhelming. However, a table that is too small will be lost. Our aim is to turn the dining table into an eye-catcher - the centerpiece of the dining area. As a rule of thumb, each person at the table should have around 60-70 cm of space at the table to sit and eat comfortably without feeling cramped. To be able to comfortably walk around the table and pull out chairs, there should be a distance of at least 90 cm between the edge of the table and the wall or other pieces of furniture. In terms of shape, rectangular dining tables are the classic and offer enough space for everyone seated. It is more suitable for several people. Round and oval dining tables, on the other hand, are practical for smaller or narrow rooms. The decision naturally depends on the size of your room, the design and your needs. Another important point when choosing the right table is the materials. Depending on the type of material, you can influence the style and therefore the atmosphere in your room. Solid wood dining tables lend the room warmth and coziness, while glass tables add modernity. Glass tables also add lightness to the room and are therefore perfect for smaller rooms so as not to overload the ambience. There are also metal dining tables that create an industrial look. Marble dining tables are also very popular, as they create a particularly luxurious ambience. Compared to other materials, marble is high-maintenance and heavy. Last but not least, you should also attach importance to functionality. Extendable tables are flexible and practical for spontaneously entertaining more guests. However, folding tables can be folded up quickly to make room for dancing or other activities. They are a popular choice for small spaces that need to be multifunctional. In our online store at MöbelFirst, you will discover a large selection of trendy tables in different designs, furnishing styles and sizes! We will be happy to help you choose the perfect table!

More comfort with the right chairs

Just as important as the choice of dining table is the choice of chairs. When choosing, place great emphasis on comfort. Upholstered chairs offer unsurpassed comfort and are therefore also suitable for longer periods of sitting. The seat height of the chairs should be around 45-50 cm. The distance between the seat and the lower edge of the table should be at least 25-30 cm. Chairs with an upholstered backrest or ergonomic design naturally provide more comfort and convenience. A slightly inclined backrest can provide additional comfort. The seat should also be comfortable and deep enough (approx. 40-45 cm) so that you can sit well and comfortably. As with the table, you should also choose the materials carefully. Wooden chairs are classic and, above all, durable. They go well with dining tables of different styles and materials. However, wooden chairs are less comfortable than upholstered chairs. But you can also combine different chair styles to create a modern and eye-catching style.

The right lighting for a cozy atmosphere

With the right lighting, you can change the atmosphere in the room in an instant - from modern to cozy or relaxed. It is important to seamlessly combine central lighting with accent lighting to ensure adequate lighting in the room. A classic pendant light or a stylish chandelier above the dining table are the perfect choice for any interior style. For accent lighting, you can choose classic wall lights or elegant floor lamps. They give the room a personal touch and also a cozy feel. They provide additional lighting, but can also be seen as decorative accents. With accent lighting, you can breathe life into your artwork or pictures and show them off beautifully. For the dining area, we recommend warm white light as it creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Finally, make sure that the light sources do not glare directly into the eyes, but have lampshades to distribute the light pleasantly around the room and create a relaxed atmosphere.
