Living and dining room furniture can transform your space - check out our tips on designing your perfect room.

Living and dining room furniture needs to be functional and aesthetic, with a timelessness that will last for years and transform a house into a home. Your living and dining room furniture is at the heart of your house, where family and friends sit over meals and dinner parties, and where you relax, unwind and feel right at home. Whether you have a separate living and dining room or an open plan living and dining space, choosing the right living and dining room furniture is crucial if you are going to make the most of your space.

Make a Statement with Your Living and Dining Room Furniture

As well as choosing beautifully made furniture that will endure through the generations, you need to consider the décor of the rooms. Red is a popular colour for dining room walls as it's said to stimulate appetite, choosing the right shade of red will create warmth and hospitality - but beware of angry or heavy reds that can be claustrophobic. Orange and yellow and neutrals are also warm and welcoming. Lighting with dimmer switches are ideal for living and dining rooms to help create ambiance and a relaxed mood. Your living and dining room furniture should also feature stylish storage solutions, such as sideboards, to reduce clutter and create a focal point. If your dining room is large, it can accommodate large living and dining room furniture. If it's small, don't be tempted to opt for big tables if you only plan to use it once a year, consider investing in an extending dining table and chair set to efficiently utilise your space.

Living and Dining Room Furniture You'll Love

Living rooms tend to be multi-functional spaces where we do everything from working on our computers to watching TV. If your room is large, or if you have an open plan living dining room, choosing your living and dining room furniture well and using a flexible lighting scheme can help you create the effect of different spaces. A lamp next to a bookcase and a comfortable armchair can create a dedicated reading spot. Lamps are a great way of breaking up the space - a table with a laptop and lamp signal a dedicated office space. A chandelier over a beautiful dining room table indicates your eating space. Whatever size or shape, your open-plan living space or living and dining rooms should be warm, welcoming and cosy places you'll want to spend your precious downtime in.
