Your dining room is more than a space for meals—it’s where stories are shared, guests are welcomed, and everyday routines unfold. Whether you host large family dinners or enjoy quiet weekday meals, the right dining room furniture should complement both your style and the way you live.
At Boori, our dining room sets are designed with timeless appeal and everyday functionality in mind. Here’s how to choose the perfect set that aligns with your lifestyle, room size, and design preferences.
Start with How You Use Your Dining Space
Before choosing a dining set, consider how you typically use your dining area. Is it a multi-use space that doubles as a workspace? A setting for special occasions? Or a family hub used throughout the day?
If You Love to Entertain
Choose a larger rectangular dining table that can comfortably accommodate guests and platters. Look for sets that seat six or more.
Boori Recommendation:
The Ballet Dining Table (1.8m) with 6 Chairs Package offers generous space, refined timber tones and timeless simplicity—perfect for hosting.
If You Have a Smaller Dining Area
A round table is a smart choice for compact rooms or open-plan layouts. It softens corners and creates an intimate dining experience.
Boori Recommendation:
The Ballet Round Dining Table (1.2m) with Four Chairs Package provides plenty of surface area while maintaining a smaller footprint.
If You Need Flexibility
If your dining room is also your workspace or homework zone, choose a durable table with easy-to-clean surfaces and comfortable seating.
Boori Recommendation:
The Block Dining Table (1.4m) with 4 Chairs Package combines a solid timber top with minimal styling, blending practicality and beauty.
Consider Your Room Size and Shape
Your dining set should feel well-proportioned within your space. Ensure there’s enough clearance around the table (ideally 90cm or more) for chairs to slide out comfortably.
-
Small square rooms benefit from round or compact rectangular tables.
-
Open-plan areas can accommodate longer tables as a visual anchor.
-
Narrow dining zones suit slim, elongated table designs that maintain flow.
Choose chair styles that visually complement your space. Curved backs, light timber and minimal lines help keep a room feeling open.
Match Your Style with the Right Materials and Details
Dining sets are long-term investments, so choose finishes and styles that reflect your broader home aesthetic.
-
Scandi-inspired interiors work well with light wood finishes and rounded silhouettes.
-
Modern or minimal homes benefit from clean lines and neutral colour palettes.
-
Warm, traditional spaces are complemented by mid-toned timber and structured forms.
All Boori dining sets are crafted from sustainably sourced timber with a focus on natural grain and durable finishes that are both beautiful and hard-wearing.
Dining Table Decor: Mix timber dining sets with upholstered chairs or layer the space with textured placemats, linen runners or ceramic tableware for added depth and interest.
