Determine the Right Dining Room Design and Style for Your Home

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Your dining room is more than just a table and a set of chairs. There are other design components such as hutches, serving tables and coordinating accessories to make your dining room complete. And each of these components has its own fashion depending on the style of dining room furniture you choose for your home. Consider the following:

Country Dining Room Furniture - Comfortable and traditional, today’s country dining room styles are not dated-looking, antiques but rather stylish and inviting.

Casual Dining Room Furniture - Laid-back and inviting, casual dining room furniture is always a popular choice for simple style.

Contemporary Dining Room Furniture - Smooth and sleek, contemporary dining furniture invokes a futuristic feel comprised of enamels, lacquers or metal.

The style of dining room furniture you choose is completely up to you. You can select coordinating furniture throughout your home or mix and match as you please - the choice is yours!

Preserving Your Furniture, Part I

The Two Biggest Threats to Furniture Preservation

Most people think furniture preservation is reserved for antiques, but when you invest in any type of furniture, you want to make sure you preserve its beauty. One of the best tips for protecting furniture is to make sure you start the act of preservation as soon as you can. Whether your furniture is brand new or years old, it’s never too early or too late to start maintaining it correctly.

The two greatest threats to furniture are people and the environment. People can treat furniture fabrics and materials harshly and over time, environmental factors can cause furniture to lose its luster over time. The good news is you can have control over both of these factors. 

DirectBuy offers a wide selection of home furnishings including dining room furniture, bedroom furniture, living room furniture and more - all at manufacturer-direct prices and all from leading manufacturers and their authorized suppliers.

You’re sitting in a quaint little sidewalk café watching the people pass by, enjoying a nice meal or an afternoon cup of tea with a light airy breeze floating across your face - the sounds of Paris wafting through the air in the background.

Let The Dining Room Table Be Your Guide

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

A dining room is one of the most important rooms in the home: It’s the place where people gather for special events, and many families today use it for more than just formal occasions. This trend makes the choice of dining room furniture crucial, particularly the dining room table, since it’s considered the focus of the dining room.

Consider these tips when selecting a table:

Size of the room: Appropriately-scaled dining furniture looks best. A small dining room table looks best in a small dining room, and a large dining room table looks best in a large dining room.

Capacity: Consider the size. How many people will need to fit around the table regularly?

Shape: Balance the shape of the dining room table with the rest of the room for a cohesive look.

What Size Should Your New Dining Room Table Be?

Monday, February 4th, 2008

First of all, consider the size of your room so the size of your table will look appropriate and balanced, as well as providing an enjoyable dining experience for your guests.

Naturally, the larger the room, the larger your table should be and vice versa. A small table in a large dining room will look out of balance, and a table too large for a small space just makes things uncomfortable.

The standard recommendation is to make sure you have at least 48 inches between the edges of your table and the nearest wall or piece of furniture. If no traffic will pass behind the chairs on any side of the table, 36 inches should suffice.

Be sure you have at least 36 to 42 inches across your table to have enough room to comfortably place food in the center of the table and provide a comfortable distance for your guests to converse.
