The dining room is a place for everyday meals, gatherings and entertaining, and the right furniture can help create a space that is both functional and inviting.

Commune’s dining room furniture includes dining tables in a range of shapes, sizes and materials, from round and extendable designs to marble-top tables for larger dining spaces. Pair them with dining chairs or benches according to your preferred seating arrangement and available floor area.

Complete the dining space with sideboards, bar cabinets and other storage furniture for tableware, serving pieces and everyday essentials. Mirrors and accessories can introduce additional texture and character without taking up valuable dining space.

For HDB flats and apartments in Singapore, consider the dimensions of both the dining table and chairs together. Allow sufficient space around the table for chairs to be pulled out comfortably and for people to move around the dining area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dining Room Furniture

What furniture do I need for a dining room?

A dining room usually begins with a dining table and chairs or benches. Depending on the available space and your storage needs, you can also add a sideboard, bar cabinet, mirror and accessories to complete the room.

How do I choose the right dining table for my home?

Consider the size and shape of your dining area, the number of people you usually seat and the amount of circulation space around the table. Round tables can work well in certain compact layouts, while rectangular and extendable dining tables can provide more seating for larger households and gatherings.

What size dining table is suitable for a HDB flat?

The right dining table size depends on the dimensions and layout of your dining area rather than the flat type alone. Measure the available space and allow sufficient clearance around the table so chairs can be pulled out comfortably and people can move around it.

Should I choose a round or rectangular dining table?

Round dining tables can create a more conversational setting and work particularly well in square or compact dining areas. Rectangular tables can suit longer spaces and generally provide greater flexibility when seating more people.

Are extendable dining tables suitable for smaller homes?

Yes. An extendable dining table can provide a more compact everyday footprint while offering additional dining space when guests visit. Check both the closed and fully extended dimensions before choosing one for your space.

How do I choose dining chairs to match my table?

Consider the height, width and proportions of the chairs in relation to the dining table. There should be sufficient space between the seat and tabletop for comfortable seating, while the overall chair width should allow everyone to sit without feeling crowded.

What storage furniture works well in a dining room?

Sideboards and bar cabinets can provide useful storage for tableware, glassware, serving pieces and other dining essentials. Choose a size that provides the storage you need without restricting movement around the dining area.
