How much space do you need for a dining room set?

Dining sets come in all sizes, so it’s important to select the proper seating capacity based upon the space available. The overall size is often dictated by your personal preference, family size and overall usage. A small breakfast nook only needs a small table and chairs, while a formal dining room requires something more substantial. We recommend at least 30-36 inches measured from the nearest obstruction, whether it be a wall, door, window or furniture.

How much does a dining room set cost?

Oftentimes the furniture you decide to buy, if it's high-quality and well-made, will last through generations. If purchasing a complete set, the cost to furnish a dining room will range from around $7,000 to $15,000. This price range includes the essentials for a dining space seating 6-8 guests: a dining table, seating, and a storage/display piece such as a china cabinet or sideboard. The cost will vary based on the seating capacity, material used for construction, and personal design preferences.

What is included in a dining room set?

A formal dining room set typically includes a table with chairs or benches in the center of the room. Other furniture pieces, such as consoles, china cabinets, and buffets make storing china and serving food easier. More informal dining sets, often known as dinettes or breakfast nooks, consist of smaller tables and fewer chairs; this set is typically placed within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
