Dining & Living Room Furniture: Style Meets Function

Dining & Living Room Furniture

Our Dining & Living collection brings together everything you need to furnish the heart of your home. Whether you’re creating a sophisticated dining area or a relaxed family space, we have an inspiring range of tables, chairs, cabinets and occasional pieces to suit every taste and lifestyle. Solid wood dining tables form the centrepiece of many homes because they offer warmth, natural beauty and enduring strength. Made from whole timber, they can handle daily wear and tear and even be sanded and refinished to restore their original finish:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. Each table’s unique grain pattern and colour variation tell a story, and the wood develops a lovely patina over time, giving your dining space character:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. Choose from rustic oak farmhouse tables, sleek trestle bases or round pedestal designs to make every meal feel special.

A comfortable dining experience isn’t complete without the right chairs. Our dining chair range spans upholstered seats for lingering dinner conversations, solid wooden chairs for a timeless feel and modern cantilever designs for contemporary homes. Add a sideboard or display cabinet to keep crockery and glassware tidy while complementing your table; many of our sideboards feature soft-closing drawers, adjustable shelving and integrated wine racks. For relaxed living, explore our TV cabinets, coffee tables, console tables and lamp tables. These pieces combine practicality and style with options like hidden cable management, storage drawers and shelving for books or media accessories. Nest of tables and bookcases maximise space in compact rooms and are perfect for keeping everyday items within easy reach.

Quality craftsmanship lies at the heart of our furniture. Many pieces use responsibly sourced solid wood and traditional joinery for strength and longevity:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. You can choose from a variety of finishes—from natural oiled oak and painted birch to rich walnut—and we offer plenty of matching items so you can create a harmonious look throughout your home. Whether you’re looking for a statement dining set, a practical TV stand or a cosy reading corner with a nest of tables and a bookcase, our Dining & Living collection helps you make the most of every moment at home.

FAQs

  1. Why choose a solid wood dining table?

    Solid wood tables bring warmth and elegance to any dining space. They are made from whole timber, providing strength and resilience that manufactured wood cannot match. Over time, solid wood develops a beautiful patina, and if the surface becomes worn, you can sand and refinish the table to restore its original appearance:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.

  2. How do I choose the right size dining table?

    Measure your room and allow at least 90 cm between the table edge and the wall or other furniture to ensure comfortable movement. Rectangular tables seat more people, while round or oval tables create a sociable feel and maximise space in smaller rooms. Extendable tables are perfect if you host guests occasionally.

  3. What should I consider when selecting dining chairs?

    Comfort and style are key. Upholstered chairs offer cushioning for long meals, while wooden or metal frames provide a minimalist look. Check the seat height relative to your table (a 45–50 cm seat height suits most tables) and think about whether arms or a swivel base will suit your space.

  4. How do I care for wooden furniture?

    Dust regularly with a soft cloth and avoid placing hot or wet items directly onto the surface. Use mats or coasters and keep furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Periodically apply a suitable wood care product to nourish the finish and maintain the wood’s natural beauty.

  5. Do your coffee tables and sideboards come with storage options?

    Yes. Many of our coffee tables include drawers or shelves for remote controls, magazines and other essentials, while some sideboards feature hidden drawers, adjustable shelving and built-in wine racks. Check the product description for specific storage details.
