The Must-Know Rules Of Dining Room Design

Before beginning the design of a dining room, it’s essential to consider the client’s needs and the purpose of the space. As we wrote above, will it be used for dinner parties, family gatherings or even business meetings? Will children be using the space? Understanding these aspects is key to creating a functional and stylish room.

You’ll also need to consider the size of the dining area and how many people it needs to accommodate. Answering these questions will guide you in selecting the right seating and table to ensure the room meets all the needs.

Before selecting the furniture or any decoration, start by considering the size and shape of the dining room design. The layout is crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality. Also, leave enough space around the table for chairs to be pulled out and for guests to move around comfortably.

For example, a smaller dining room area should have a round or oval table to maximize space and enhance flow.

The dining table is the centrepiece of every dining room design, so it’s important to choose one that fits the space and suits the client’s lifestyle. Consider the number of people who will normally use it and whether an extendable table will be needed for greater flexibility. Materials matter too – wood offers warmth and durability, while glass can make the room feel more open.

At Domkapa we believe that chairs should be comfortable and stylish – match the aesthetic of the room while providing support for long meals. Upholstered chairs offer a more formal look and added comfort, while wooden or metal chairs can add a modern or rustic touch.

The dining room is a great place to experiment with textures and colours. Whether through wall treatments, fabrics or accessories, layering different materials and hues can add depth and interest. However, it’s essential to maintain a cohesive colour scheme that complements the rest of the project.
