Christmas is just around the corner and that means pulling out your old Christmas tree and other holiday decorations to keep the spirits up! Although the pandemic has put limitations on the size of social gatherings, having a little get-together with immediate family members in your abode is sure to bring some joy during these trying times. And what better place to celebrate the festive season than in your dining room? You may deck your halls with floral arrangements and lights, but your dining table will undoubtedly be the place for all to gather. To ensure this holiday is one for quality time with friends and family, having the right dining table setup is pivotal. However, most homeowners tend to put too much emphasis on the style and size of their dining room tables, overlooking their choice of dining chairs. Should the dining chairs or dining bench not complement or fit into your table, even the most extravagant Christmas dining table décor will not do the trick of transforming the space into a welcoming one. Here’s what you need consider when choosing the right chairs for your dining room table:

1. Height, Height, Height

Ever gone out for dinner, only to find yourself sitting in an awkward position because the seat was either too low or high? That is probably because the seat-height-to-table ratio was probably off. Be it the seat height or that of the arm and back, getting the measurements right from the get-go is extremely important. In order to reach optimal comfort levels with your dining table set, you’ll first need to know the exact distance between the bottom of the tabletop to the top of the seat. Taking a measuring tape with you during your dining furniture shopping adventures in Indonesia will come in handy in these situations. Also, take note of the dining chair design. Is it upholstered? Or is it a simple wooden dining chair that does not compress when sat on?

Hatch dining chair

If seating solutions like the Hatch dining chair that come with armrests appeal to your interior tastes, check on the measures or even test the chair out with your chosen tables. You wouldn’t want the top of the armrests brushing against the table, only to get damaged over time. A general rule of thumb is that the arms of the dining chair should glide easily under the table so that you can sit close enough to it, and the backrest of the chair should be at least 5cm taller than the table top.

2. Scale Compared To The Table

Now, what if you opt for dining furniture like the Henry dining bench? In such cases, the width would be a factor to consider in addition to its height – and the same applies to all other furniture. When it comes to scale, it essentially boils down to an arrangement that facilitates space. There are several dining room design tips that will help with the process of making your dining room “just look right.” However, avoid being too bogged down with rules, and instead, focus on practicality. How wide should a dining bench be? Wide enough to sit your guests and fit the table you have. How high should the dining chairs be? Probably just high enough so that you can comfortably rest your elbows on the table without it feeling like a highchair.

3. Style Compatibility

Bolda Grey Quartz Top Dining Table

Last but not least, your furniture selection should look good together. Whether you have your eyes set on a marble-esque stone dining table or a teak wood dining table, the varying styles must be compatible with each other. From the colour undertones to a single design element like the material, choosing dining tables and chairs that match can be relatively easy. If narrowing down on the abundance of dining furniture options is getting stressful, buying a dining set will make things simpler.

At Cellini, you can find dining packages like the Bolda Grey Quartz dining table with flex dining chairs that radiate elegance with its earthy tones. You could even take the dining set up a notch with a bench like the Flex, which comes with a thick seat cushion that offers plenty of comfort for its users.
