Eating out every night isn't possible for everyone – and even if it is, there are times when you just can’t beat a home cooked meal. Not only is it cheaper but it can be more satisfying and much more enjoyable (although we do admit, the cleaning up isn't much fun!) especially when you have the whole family together or have guests around. A great dining room can enhance every meal you have in your home but for the complete experience, there are some essentials.

What do you need?

You need somewhere to sit and eat at – that’s the first thing. Take a look at our great tables, chairs and dining sets to help you find the perfect place to eat your home cooked meal. Rattan chairs are very popular because of their materials and colours, as well as their comfort. With so many to choose from, it’s easy to find a style that matches the table you want, or maybe you want to choose a chair that stands out a bit. It’s been a hard choice but the Ibis Rattan Dining Chair - Light Leg is one of our top picks, as it goes with every table very well.

A bare dining room with just a table and some chairs is not going to complete the experience, however. While if you eat out you might be used to row after row of tables and chairs, this definitely a more private and homely setting. Furniture like the Satara Mango Dakota Wine Cabinet can make a huge difference. Not only does it hold your wine in an easily accessible location and manner, but there is storage and display space for your favourite ornaments and photographs. Alternatively, if that’s not big enough, maybe our Mandir Sheesham Sideboard/Display Cabinet would suit you better, offering much more space in a very rich colour to add depth to your dining room.

Finally, break out the good china, polish your silverware and make sure the glasses are sparkling. This will make every meal look and taste so much better, especially when seated at one our quality tables, with our pick being the Tenali Mango Dining Table. It’s a beautiful colour and has the intricate detail work that sets it apart from other tables.

Quality shows

With wooden furniture, it’s easy to tell when it’s a quality piece. The craftsmanship, quality of the wood and the finish all play a part in showing how well made it is and you can get a good idea of how long it will last as a result. For families who spend a lot of time eating together, or those who entertain guests regularly, the advantages of a solid dining set are clear.
