Great solutions for the ideal dining room

After a long day, it’s nice to unwind with your family and have a chat at the dinner table. The dining room is meant for valuable family time. It’s also the room where you can socialise and have dinner parties with friends. Because of the multifunctionality, it’s important to really think about the design of your dining room.

Give your dining room a makeover by adding new furniture and décor! We have some fresh dining room ideas to help you. At vidaXL you will find everything for updating your dining space or creating a design from scratch. 

The ideal dining room has two main qualities: functionality and style. Choose furniture that matches the layout of the room. Make sure you measure before you buy! Consider your lifestyle and needs, to know which type of furniture you need. Add accessories and decorations for a personal touch. We have a great selection at vidaXL to match every taste.    

Choose dining furniture that fits your needs

At vidaXL you’ll find dining sets, but also separate tables and chairs. They all come in different shapes, colours, and price ranges. Use our search filter to help you choose the right furniture. Or start by selecting the style you like industrial, modern, or retro.

For limited space, we recommend buying a round, oval, or square table. In generous spaces, a rectangular table is the solution. Go for dining sets with matching chairs in various materials and styles. Or you can mix and match, playing with different shapes and furnishings. 

Pick chairs that suit your style or combine several types of chairs into one set. Your dining room will look more stylish once you add diversity. Balance different styles, patterns, and materials to make your dining room stand out. 

Dining room accessories that make it stand out

Your dining room needs to be neat and organised. At vidaXL, we have a rich selection of sideboards and shelves. Sideboards in various styles are perfect for storing everything you need. Shelves are great in a modern or Bohemian design, allowing you to put nice kitchen tools on display. 

A cupboard is a fine storage choice when you want to create a traditional dining area. Add plants or decorations next to kitchen tools for a visual impact. At vidaXL you can also find trendy kitchen accessories. Kitchen essentials or cutlery sets, everything for a complete dining room. Check out our placemats if you’re looking for that bit of extra decoration. Choose bright colours, various materials, or patterns.  

5 tips for styling your dining room

• Choose the right size for your dining table. Think of the number of chairs you’d need every day, and then add a few extra so you have room for guests. A dining bench is another smart seating idea. 
• Add a comfy rug in your dining area. Make sure the rug is bigger than the dining table setup. 
• Design the ideal lighting for the mood you want in your dining space. A chandelier above the table is a popular choice.
• Take advantage of the room layout. If you have a large window, angle your dining furniture towards it. 
• Make your dining area special with wall art. Frame family photos or paintings and use shelves for displaying decorations.
