🏡 Why the Dining Room Deserves a Bit of Love
In Australian homes, the dining room is more than a place to eat—it’s where family chats over breakfast, mates gather for dinner, and memories are made. You don’t need a full renovation to make it shine. With just three pieces—a dining table, dining chairs, and a buffet—you can transform your space into one that’s stylish, functional, and affordable.
Here’s how to choose the right pieces, with the right colours, to suit your lifestyle and your home.
🍽️ 1. The Dining Table: The Heart of the Home
Every good dining room starts with a solid centrepiece. Whether you’re hosting a roast or working from home, your table needs to stand up to daily life and still look great.
✅ Best Colours for Aussie Homes:
→ Black: adds a modern, sophisticated edge.
→ Natural wood: gives a warm, organic, and timeless vibe.
🔧 Design Tip:
Go for a fixed size table rather than extendable models—cleaner lines and fewer moving parts make it sturdier and easier to style.
📏 Ideal Size:
Standard height: 75cm.
Leave at least 90cm around the table for comfortable movement.

🪑 2. The Dining Chairs: Where Comfort Meets Style
Your chairs are where form meets function. They should match the tone of the table and feel good to sit in—even after a long Sunday lunch.
✅ Recommended Colour:
→ Grey: neutral, elegant, and works with both black and timber tables.
🚫 What to Avoid:
No padded benches or large cushioned seats—we’re keeping things light, sleek and supportive.
📐 Ideal Height:
Seat height around 45cm-50cm, with a gap of 30cm between seat and tabletop.

🧺 3. The Buffet: The Unsung Hero of Storage
A buffet (or sideboard) is your go-to for extra storage and styling space. Keep clutter out of sight, and set the tone with a few styled pieces on top.
✅ Best Colour:
→ White: clean, fresh, and beautifully contrasts darker tables and grey seating.
📦 Storage Tip:
Look for options with drawers and internal shelving—perfect for napkins, wine glasses, and the “good” dinnerware.
