THE BEST GATHERINGS AND MEALS START WITH THOSE THREE LITTLE WORDS, from an impromptu pot luck to the most elaborate dinner.

Your dining area is the focal point for so many great memories, isn’t it time to give it a little love in return so you can make more memories? The incredible range of style options, value points, color, wood species, and sizes will be helpful for big parties.

Trends on the rise include darker wood furnishings, with darker brown stains and woods. The deeper colors bring in a sense of warmth that contrasts nicely with the white walls and lighter fabrics we’ve seen for the past several years. It’s truly a timeless design style that has been around for generations. Furnishing options let you express your personality. Mix and match chair styles or choose two-tone sets such as white legs with a cherry top.

Our Drake set comes in two-tone white with gray or black with cherry, available in low and high and is a great value. For maximum choice, look at our Amish selections and choose your wood species, stain color, hardware style and stool height. They’re 100% solid wood with upgraded finishes. And what would a dining room be without functional touches? Check out hidden drawers, built-in wine racks, storage sideboards, and cable-driven tops that make adding an extra leaf a breezy one-person job.

This three piece set makes romantic dinners for two a breeze. The 30” X 30” table is a great size for a dining nook and extends to 48” with two 9” drop leaves. Constructed with wire brushed acacia veneers, it is shown in blanc and also stocked in bisque.

Everyone will love to gather around this five piece dining set with a grey and white genuine marble top over a cathedral white base. The chairs are upholstered in a grey that pairs beautifully with the marble. Set includes 52” round marble top table and four upholstered side chairs.

COMFORT MEANS EVERYTHING IN THE DINING ROOM, FROM COMFORT FOOD TO COMFORTABLE SEATING.

Never mind artisanal ingredients and complicated recipes. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, today’s dining is more about bringing people together than showing off culinary skills. Here are our top three tips for creating a homey, family-friendly dining area sure to whet your appetite.

1. THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH SEATING AND FLEXIBILITY YOU NEED. How many people are there every day, and how often do you need to squeeze more in for special occasions? If those occasions are frequent, look for furniture that can flex. That means tables with extension leaves and benches that can serve extra duty elsewhere until needed. If you don’t often have a crowd, you might prefer a smaller table or even a bistro table.

2. THINK ABOUT HOW YOU ENTERTAIN. Are you a family-style pass-the-plate type or a buffet serve-yourself type? If buffet is your style, consider adding a sidebar for serving and a hutch for storage.

3. THINK ABOUT YOUR STYLE. If you’re a minimalist, look for sets that lean toward the mid-century modern look with sleek clean lines. If your vibe is farmhouse, look for weathered patinas, big chunky legs or an X-base. If you’re a traditionalist, consider a round table for easy conversation (bonus: they fit nicely in smaller rooms).

Add a unique look and plenty of function to your dining area with this counter height dining set with storage base to stow your wine, linens, silverware and more. Constructed in poplar solids with birch and oak veneers, this 6 piece set includes 42” X 72” table that expands to 90”, 4 counter stools and a counter bench.

The multi-color top of black, brown and gray and the craftsmanship on this set leans midcentury modern, but totally fits today’s lifestyle with family-friendly performance fabric. The 6 piece dining set includes a 38” X 60” leg table, 4 upholstered side chairs and an upholstered bench.

A distinctive design statement, the table’s waterfall leg, flat cut oak grain, and unique chair design are spot on for today’s aesthetic. Constructed of hardwood solids with oak veneers, this 7 piece set includes 39” X 78.7” leg table and 6 upholstered side chairs. Also stocked with a 94.5” table as a 9 piece

set with 8 chairs.
