In many ways,
your dining room is the heart of your home. Not only is it a place where you
can enjoy family meals, but it also serves as a space for friendly
conversations, holiday entertaining, and so much more. Considering how much
time you and your family will be spending in your dining room, it is important
that you select your dining room furniture set with care. Here are some simple
tips that will help ensure that the dining set you choose is the right fit for
you.
Establish a Price Range
When searching
for a new dining set, it’s best to set a price range before you even start to
shop. By starting out with a set price range, it will limit your temptation to
overspend. At Harlem Furniture, we can provide you with a wide range of affordable
options, so no matter what your budget, you can expect to find an abundance of
options to choose from. Believe it not, we have five-piece dining room sets
available for less than $200!
Consider Table Size and Shape
Before purchasing
a new dining set, measure the room where it will be placed. You will want to
make sure there are at least two feet between the dining table and the wall to
ensure your guests have enough room to easily get in and out of their chairs. Table
shape is also important, depending on the size of the room. Rectangular tables
are generally well-suited for larger rooms, and they can accommodate a sizable
number of guests, especially if you purchase one with a leaf extension. Round
dining tables are a good fit for smaller spaces, and the shape helps create an
intimate atmosphere where guests can easily converse with one another.
Consider Seating Options
At Harlem Furniture, we sell dining room sets with a diverse
selection of seating options. In addition to dining sets with high back chairs,
we also sell dining sets with bar stools, counter stools, and benches. Bar
stools and counter stools will give your dining room a more casual feel, while
high back chairs are the best option for formal dining rooms. Dining benches
are versatile and they can match almost any style of décor. Dining room benches
are a particularly kid-friendly seating option, as children can easily slide on
and off with little effort.
