How to arrange dining room furniture

Here are three easy steps to positioning your dining room furniture well: 1. Think about your room: Your room’s size and layout will strongly inform where you can place your dining room furniture. Ideally you’ll place your table in the centre of the room, or slightly away from entryways. 2. Consider lighting: Positioning your dining table under a pendant light is an easy way to ensure that your table is a focal point. 3. Be practical: When it comes to your dining space, it pays to think about functionality. If you’re adding in a display cabinet, think both about where it will best be seen and how it’ll be most accessible.
