Say the words fine dining and most people will instantly think of a top class restaurant that has a fantastic menu, a powerful atmosphere and powerful but subtle furniture to boot. The thing is, that’s not the key to fine dining – at least, not as far as we see it. Sure, it all adds to the effect. You have a great choice, you don’t need to cook or clean up but the atmosphere is what you create. It can be a busy restaurant or quiet one, it doesn’t matter – you’re focused on each other.

The foundations

Good food is at the heart of fine dining, right? Absolutely but that doesn’t mean you need a world class chef to cook for you. You know what you like (and hopefully what your partner, family and friends like) so cooking yourself allows you to have that control. Pick a dish, put a spin on it and make it healthy or just the way you want. People will appreciate the effort as well and while dining out is nice you can’t beat a home cooked meal made from scratch.

Sure, you’re going to have clean and wash up after (but we won’t think about that for now) but maybe you can bribe the kids, or agree with your partner that if you cook together you clean together. It’s part of the fun…well, maybe not but it doesn’t have to be all bad – there’s a good meal out of it!

Materials and tones

The right table means you need to figure out the tone of the room the best you can. Is it a light, open space or something more personal and engaging? Maybe you want something to cover all eventualities and at Casa Bella we’re here to help with three of our favourite dining sets.

We like our open spaces at Casa Bella, especially coming into summer and that’s why the light furniture is a favourite choice for us and you! Turn down the lights, get some candles and you’ve got a great atmosphere instantly and the light tones of this furniture along with the soft glow will create something special. As such, we’d have to recommend the Satara Light Mango 6 Seater Dining Set With Bench, taking into account all situations you might find. Tuck the bench away for a fine dining night with your closest friends and family!

Last up is the best of both worlds, the Erlina Rattan 4-Seater Light Mango Dining Set, which combines a light table with dark rattan chairs. It’s a strong contrast that works in a number of homes and environments but, more importantly, it’s perfect for your family meals and your fine dining night with the other half or your friends. If you want to go the other way, look at our Ibis Rattan 6 Seater Dining Set - Palani Table to find the perfect tones.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match from our tables and chairs to find just what you’re looking for. If you’re at a loss, get in touch and allow us to help!

Set the tone

A dining room or area is not just defined by the table and chairs you choose. Console tables, cabinets and bookcases are all popular additions. For the complete dining experience, we’d have to recommend a console table – more specifically, this console table: the Satara Mango Dakota Large Console Table. It’s got plenty of storage and the shelves can double up as a wine rack – easy access for whatever wine or bottle you, your partner or your guests all decide upon. It’s the final touch for that great meal and evening.
