Delightful Dining Rooms ready for Entertaining

Soon the holidays will be here and your Kansas City home will be filled with tantalizing aromas, laughter, conversation, and joy. When entertaining in your home, especially during the holidays, you want to make sure that your dining room is ready to accommodate everyone. If you have a rather large extended family and know that your home is usually where everyone plans to party, you’ll need a larger dining room with a long rectangular table that can seat more guests comfortably. Remember, when selecting chairs for your dining room table, your guests should be able to sit comfortably with enough elbow room.

For those who usually have smaller and more intimate gatherings, a square or round table may work best for your needs. However, you still want to make sure that proper elbow room is given to each guest as well. Experiment with different patterns, colors, and textures to bring life to your dining room also. The materials you choose are what really help to set the atmosphere of the room, as well as give it special details that catch the eye.

Switch Up The Seating

While churning our design wheel, we realized how much we love the idea of unconventional dining room seating. Last Tuesday, our post Beach Blues showed a dining room with contemporary sofas as the seating. The sofas brought a different level of comfort to the room while maintaining the formal mood. In addition to using unconventional seating, mixing various types of seating will allow you to please more than one of your design ideas. Having a bench, a chair or two and a sofa all within your desired color palette brings personality and texture to your room. You can even pick the different seating based on your family member’s preferences. As long as there are common elements among each piece, your room will flow perfectly. Call us today so we can help you switch up your dining room seating!
