In this podcast, Krista offers some helpful dining room furniture tips. You'll learn some designer insights, some might call #hacks to help you select the correct scale and style of furniture for all your dining areas! We could go on for hours on this subject, but we narrowed this down to 26 minutes of the highlights!
We cover crucial topics such as furniture clearances to ensure smooth traffic flow and optimal circulation. We guide listeners through determining the ideal table size that balances scale and function in breakfast nooks, traditional dining rooms, and open-concept dining areas.
The discussion extends to the importance of coordinating your dining space with adjacent areas for a cohesive look. Expert tips on lighting considerations that will enhance both the ambiance and functionality of your dining area. Additionally, we explore seating options, weighing the merits of using a bench or banquette versus upholstered chairs to match your lifestyle and dining needs.
Leave us questions in the comments, and we’ll happily answer them!
