[F] The dining room

The dining room is not only used as a place for families to eat food, it is also a place for family gathering. The right dining room design is one that can accommodate the needs of residents who use the dining room. The design of the dining room must meet the needs of the user's space for movement and the furniture used in the dining room. To design a dining room, start by looking at the needs of dining room users, such as how many family members eat, whether they often invite people to eat so they need additional chairs, and so on. This determines the next stages in design such as choosing furniture and room style.

The dining room should be clean and easy to clean because it is used by family members to eat. The dining room should also be comfortable enough to eat in, with good lighting and air circulation. Nowadays, the dining room is often placed close to the kitchen to make it easier to serve food from the kitchen to the dining room.

Arranging the dining room can be started by determining the main furniture that will be used and what kind of impression you want from the dining room. The dining table and dining chairs are the main furniture. The size of the dining table and dining chairs must be proportional to the dining area, and facilitate the movement of users. In addition, the dining table is the center of activity in the dining room, it must also give the desired impression of the dining room.

If the existing dining room is limited or cramped, several tricks can be done to outsmart the cramped dining room. One of them is using a folding table, or using a Japanese-style table that does not require a chair, only a sitting mat. After use the dining table can be put back and the dining room can feel spacious.
