How to Choose Kitchen & Dining Furniture

Start with the space you use every day. Measure the width and length of the room, then note where doors, radiators, kitchen units and walkways sit. A dining table should give everyone enough room to sit comfortably while still allowing chairs to be pulled out and people to walk around the table without squeezing past furniture.

Choose a table shape and size that suits the room. Square and round tables can work well in compact kitchens because they are easy to move around and have no sharp corners. Rectangular tables suit longer rooms and larger families, while extending dining tables provide flexibility: keep the table compact for daily use, then extend it when guests arrive. Check the exact dimensions in both closed and extended positions before ordering.

Allow enough room for chairs. As a practical starting point, leave approximately 90 cm between the edge of the table and a wall or other furniture where possible. This gives people space to pull chairs back and move around the table. Check chair height, width and depth as well, particularly if you are pairing chairs with an existing table.

Think about how you eat and entertain. A family table needs enough seating and a surface that works for everyday meals, homework and visitors. If you host regularly, an extending design or a larger fixed table may be the best choice. If your kitchen is compact, a smaller fixed, drop-leaf or round table can provide a more comfortable fit without taking over the room.

Add storage where it makes life easier. A kitchen cabinet, dresser, display unit or sideboard can provide a dedicated place for dinnerware, glassware, table linens, serving dishes and everyday household items. Check the width, depth and height carefully, particularly for tall storage pieces, and measure doorways, hallways and stairs before ordering larger furniture.

Choose materials and finishes carefully. Oak and other natural wood finishes bring warmth and visible grain, while painted furniture in white, grey or cream can brighten a smaller kitchen or dining area. Fabric and upholstered chairs add comfort, while wood and easy-clean finishes can be more practical for busy family meals. Always refer to the individual product page for the exact material and finish, as construction varies across the collection.

Review the product details before you buy. Each item has its own dimensions, materials, care guidance, delivery details and assembly requirements. Some larger furniture may need partial assembly or be delivered in sections for easier access, while other pieces may arrive assembled. Check the relevant product page before placing your order.

Kitchen & Dining Furniture FAQs

What size dining table do I need?
Choose a table size based on both the number of people using it and the room around it. Measure the floor area and leave enough space for chairs to be pulled out and for people to walk around the table. Always compare the exact product dimensions with your available room space before ordering.

Are extending dining tables a good choice?
Extending tables are useful if you need extra seating occasionally but do not want a large table taking up space every day. Check the closed size, extended size and extension mechanism on the individual product page, so you know how the table will work in your room.

How much space should I leave around a dining table?
Where possible, allow around 90 cm between the table edge and walls, kitchen units or other furniture. This gives enough room to move chairs and walk behind someone who is seated. Smaller rooms may require a more compact table shape or narrower chairs.

Should my dining chairs match my table?
They do not need to match exactly. Matching chairs and tables create a coordinated look, but mixing materials and finishes can give a room more character. The important points are chair height, comfort, seat width and whether the chairs fit under the table when not in use.

What kitchen storage should I choose?
Choose storage according to what you need to keep organised. A tall cabinet or dresser can be useful for tableware and dry goods, while a lower cabinet, sideboard or display unit can provide storage plus a surface for serving dishes, lamps or decorative pieces. Measure the available wall space and check the internal shelf layout before ordering.

Do kitchen and dining furniture items require assembly?
Assembly varies by product. Some items may arrive assembled, while tables, chairs and larger furniture may require partial or full assembly. Check the individual product page for exact assembly and delivery information before ordering.
