In addition, the dining room is equipped with cabinet furniture for dishes.
But the main place in the dining room is the dining group.

The distance from the walls to the table, ideally, should be at least one meter.

Dining room combined with kitchen
The apartment, where the kitchen is combined with the dining room, is called the studio apartment.
In such apartments, dining furniture is taken out of the working area.
Very often, a table and chairs, if space permits, have an island.
And if the living space does not allow you to allocate a dining group, then the table moves close to the wall, and chairs are pushed under the table.
But in any case, all family members should have enough seats and sitting at the table should be comfortable.
Dining table shapes
Depending on the size of the room, the number of family members and the number of guests, the size and shape of the table directly depends.
If the room is spacious, regardless of whether it is a dining room or a living room, an elongated rectangular table is ideal. Such a table allows you to have several seats in stock.
The width of the rectangular table is from 80 to 105 cm. With this width of the table, it is convenient to serve, all dishes are perfectly placed.
If the table is already at a minimum, there will be problems with the arrangement of dishes.
If the table is wider than the maximum, it is difficult to reach individual dishes.
It is very convenient to use a round table if its diameter does not exceed 135 cm. But only eight people can sit at such a table.
The oval dining table is great for families with young children and the elderly.
If the room is small, and the family consists of four people - a square table is perfect. The square table does not take up many places and is perfect for a family of four.
A dining table - a transformer is convenient to purchase if the room is small, and there are more than four people having dinner. Useful table area, thanks to modern transformation mechanisms, can be doubled in seconds and with minimal effort.
But choosing any model, it is necessary to consider such a table arrangement so that it does not clutter up the room and does not interfere with movement.
Choosing chairs
Choosing chairs is a very difficult task.
Usually they offer two options - just chairs and chairs with armrests.
Chairs with armrests or semi-chairs are solid furniture and it is comfortable to sit on them. During long holidays, the armrests allow you to change the pose, take comfortable positions.
But the chairs - semi-chairs occupy much more space near the table and are completely unsuitable for small dining rooms.
Often half-chairs are installed only at the head of the table, thereby emphasizing the status of the owner of the house, and the remaining chairs are selected to match the half-chairs, in the same style.
If a sliding table is purchased, additional chairs or stools are purchased, it is desirable that these seats be in harmony with the main ones.
It is convenient to purchase models of chairs that can be stacked and put them in the pantry. Now models of such chairs are found everywhere.
How to choose chairs, tips?
When purchasing chairs, be sure to sit down on a chair. This will allow you to understand whether the chair is comfortable or not, because with long sitting, if the chair is not made correctly, your back gets tired.
If the dining area is located in the living room, where there are soft sofas and armchairs, chairs can be purchased with hard backs and seats.
If the dining room is spacious, the dining table is large, and feasts are long - it is better to purchase upholstered chairs with filling in the seat and back.
When buying semi-chairs, be sure to check the height of the armrest - the elbows should lie naturally on the armrest, the spine should not bend.
If you buy chairs for the ceremonial dining room - choose chairs with expensive decorative materials for everyday use, choose practical comfortable chairs.
Do not choose heavy chairs, the chairs should be easy to extend and retract, a person should get out of the table without help.
Among other things, a heavy chair scratches the floor.
