How to curate your perfect space with the King Dining Collection

Choosing the right dining table for your home can be challenging, if not completely overwhelming. Thankfully, the King Dining Collection offers quality dining furniture to suit your space, as well as last a lifetime.

Whether you prefer the sleek geometrical profile of the Aspen Dining Table, or the modern refinement of the Quay Dining Table, there’s something for everyone within the King Collection. But before you go rushing off, make sure to take into consideration the following when choosing your dream table.

Choose the right table shape

Your table should complement your room to create a cohesive connection between living and dining, so any selection should account for the size of the room and the number of diners who will be using the table. For small rooms, consider a circular table or something with curved edges, such as the round Issho Dining Table, to save on space. Mid-backed chairs such as the indoor Quay Dining Chair will also help to create the illusion of space and provide visual flow through the room.

If you like to entertain, a classic rectangular table will offer you the flexibility to eat and socialise, with enough elbow room to spare for family and guests. The Aspen Dining Table is a timeless option that will embellish any table setting or party dish.

Material matters

With a variety of table materials to choose from, make sure to consider your lifestyle when it comes to picking your dream dining suite. If your dining room also doubles as your WFH space, opt for a wood finish like the Aspen Dining Table that will provide durability and ease from day to night. Pair with a high-back fabric chair like the Aspen Dining Chair for comfort without compromise.

For those with young children, ceramic options will be invaluable for easy cleaning. Or for a sophisticated look, the marble top of the Quay Dining Table has enduring appeal.

Measure up

Your dining chairs should fit comfortably under your table, so make sure to allow a minimum of 20-30cm from seat to tabletop. Chairs should ideally be spaced 15cm apart to avoid overcrowding, with at least 1m of space between the table and any walls or pieces of furniture.
