The dining experience is one that is loved by friends, families and couples throughout the UK. It is a way for people to come together in a warm environment and share wonderful food and pleasant conversation.

There was a period of time where the dining experience was thought to be dead, but soon enough, Brits began getting their dining tables and chairs back out and enjoying their own wining and dining experiences in the comforts of their own home. This has been particularly influenced by shows such as Come Dine With Me and even, Friday Night Dinner!

However, this wonderful family experience can be compromised. Having poor quality dining tables and chairs or a poorly decorated room can detract from your dinner. Imagine you have your family over for Christmas… everyone's sat on mismatched chairs with different heights, your old dining table is creaking and wobbling and it all feels a little disjointed.

Dining furniture such as tables and chairs are the backbone of a successful evening for wining and dining. Not only do they provide yourself and your guests with comfort, but they also add style to the room which helps with the overall mood and ambience of the evening.

If you’re looking to improve your future dining experiences such as dinner parties, family events such as Christmas or just improve it for yourself at dinner times, we’re here to tell you how.

Spatial Awareness

When looking at rearranging or redecorating your dining room with some new dining room furniture such as dining tables and chairs, you’ll need to consider the amount of space you have available. Often, people will go for bigger, more grand dining tables due to their looks. However, they then struggle to fit these into the room which creates a cramped atmosphere. This can completely take away from a dining experience (especially if people are having to squeeze themselves around a table and not fully relax due to the lack of room!)

Before investing in any new dining room furniture, measure the space you have then check the measurements of your desired furniture items. If you’re unsure, you can always contact a member of the Mood Living team to discuss item sizes and measurements.

One of the main benefits of our dining tables is that they can fold down for easy storage or arrangement. So, whether you have a small dining space that you want to keep clear when you aren’t using it or you need to adapt your dining table to fit a particular space, our range of dining tables have got you covered.

Better yet, we also supply dining tables in different designs such as rectangular or oval shapes. This makes them very versatile, allowing them to seamlessly fit into any dining space. Whether you want your dining tables and chairs to fit snug into a corner or have them in the centre of the room, our dining tables and chairs are extremely versatile and perfect for any dining room.

Invest in Quality Furniture

Having quality furniture in your dining room can transform your dining room. You can not only enjoy family dinners every evening but also enjoy inviting friends over for dinner parties without feeling embarrassed about your old dining room furniture.

High quality furniture has two purposes: to last longer and have more stability whilst also looking fantastic in your dining room. Our dining tables and chairs are all made of high quality materials, such as solid wood, and are available in a variety of stylish finished such as:

• Warm oak - perfect for a relaxed dining room effect
• Walnut - a darker finish with more dramatic impact
• Natural oak - versatile, easy to style with any dining room
• Natural oak with white wood accents - something a little fresh for a modern dining room
• Cream finish - for those who are fans of monochromatic interior design

Due to having such a wide range of colours and styles to choose from, you can invest in not only high quality furniture that’ll last you throughout many dining experiences but also gorgeous pieces that’ll be a statement for your dining room.

High quality furniture also feels so much more luxurious. Our solid, oak chairs feel sturdy and comfortable, giving either your family or your dinner guests the best dining experience possible.

Decorate Your Space Effectively

Having a beautifully decorated dining area can make your dining experience feel much more enjoyable. Once you’ve got the basics sorted such as your dining tables and chairs, you can start to have fun with more decorative accents to complete your dining room. Depending on the vibe you are trying to create for your dining room, you can choose from a wide range of dining room accessories.

For example, if you are lucky enough to have a fireplace in your dining room, we recommend using this as your centrepiece for decoration. At Mood Living, we have a great range of fireside accessories that you can use to accessorise and customise your fireplace. These can really help make your dining room feel more complete.

Of course, feel free to add other essential decorative items such as:

• Vases
• Stunning crockery and glassware
• Table mats/table runners
• Candles
• Centrepiece for the dining table such as flowers

With so many options out there, it can now be easier than ever to create the perfect dining room and opportunities for pleasant dining experiences in the future. We recommend that you go easy on the decorations though, as too many can make a dining room feel cluttered, especially if it is of a smaller size.
