The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Perfect Dining Set

by Kevin Lau 29 Oct 2025

The dining room is a pivotal space in any home—where memorable moments are shared, conversations flourish, and interior aesthetics are showcased. Selecting the appropriate dining set not only enhances functionality but also elevates the overall ambience of your home. This guide will provide expert insights into table sizes, materials, and seating options to assist you in curating a dining environment of exceptional style and comfort.

1. Determining the Optimal Size for Your Space

Dining sets are available in a variety of configurations, ranging from intimate 4-seater arrangements to grand 10-seater ensembles. Consider the following guidelines when selecting the appropriate size:

  • Compact spaces: Tables measuring 1m–1.4m are ideal for 4 chairs.
  • Medium spaces: 1.5m–1.8m tables accommodate 4–8 guests comfortably.
  • Expansive gatherings: 1.8m–2m tables, or extending designs, are suitable for 8–10 diners.

2. Selecting Table Materials

At ALUXO, our dining tables are meticulously crafted from premium materials to ensure both durability and refined aesthetics:

  • Marble: Enduring and sophisticated, available in White, Light Grey, Cream, and Black & Gold tops, delivering a timeless statement in any dining setting.

4. Styling Considerations and Combinatory Effects

Creating a cohesive and visually striking dining room involves thoughtful coordination of table frame, tabletop, and chair colour. Consider the following sophisticated combinations:

  • Chrome Silver frame × White / Light Grey / Cream tops × Light-coloured chairs = Harmonious, airy dining room aesthetic.
  • Chrome Silver frame × White / Light Grey tops × Black chairs = Bold, high-contrast black-and-white scheme.
  • Black Legs × Black Chairs = Sleek, contemporary, and sophisticated atmosphere.
  • Gold Legs × Gold Chairs = Luxurious, opulent setting with elevated visual impact.

5. Fitting Tips – Required Dining Room Space

For optimal comfort, it is recommended to allow 65–75cm of clearance per side for chairs when fully extended. This ensures guests can sit and move comfortably:

Example : 180cm × 90cm Dining Table = 180 + 70cm × 2 &  90 + 70cm x 2

  • 4 sides with 6 chairs → 320cm x 230cm
  • Longer side against wall with 4 chairs (1-2-1) → 320cm x 160cm
  • Shorter side against wall with 4 chairs (2-2) → 180cm x 230cm

6. Conclusion

A meticulously selected dining set serves as both a functional asset and a signature of interior sophistication. From intimate 4-seaters to grand 10-seater ensembles, ALUXO provides a curated collection designed to enhance dining experiences while complementing contemporary and classic interiors alike.
