Solid Wood Dining Sets

Solid wood dining sets are a timeless choice, offering natural beauty, strength, and long-lasting durability. Popular choices include oak, ash, mango wood, and other hardwood finishes. Wood dining tables bring warmth and character to your dining room and work beautifully with both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Wood Veneer Dining Sets

Wood veneer dining tables feature a layer of real wood over an engineered core, providing the beautiful appearance of natural timber with a practical and often more affordable finish. Veneer dining sets are available in a range of colours and designs to complement modern and classic homes.

Glass Dining Sets

Glass dining tables are perfect for creating a light and spacious feel in your dining area. Toughened glass tabletops offer a durable surface that is easy to clean and maintain, making them a popular choice for contemporary dining spaces.

Ceramic Dining Sets

Ceramic dining tables are a stylish and practical option for busy households. They offer excellent resistance to scratches, stains, heat, and everyday wear, making them ideal for family dining. Ceramic dining sets combine modern design with easy maintenance.

Sintered Stone Dining Sets

Sintered stone dining tables are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their luxurious appearance and exceptional durability. Created using advanced manufacturing techniques, sintered stone surfaces are highly resistant to scratches, heat, stains, and UV fading.

A sintered stone dining table is a great choice for those looking for a stylish, low-maintenance surface that can handle everyday use.

Marble Dining Sets

Marble dining tables add a touch of luxury and sophistication to your dining room. Each piece of natural marble has its own unique veining, creating a truly individual finish. For a similar elegant look with easier maintenance, marble-effect dining tables are also a popular choice.

Metal Dining Sets

Metal is often used for dining table frames, legs, and chair details, providing a strong and stylish foundation. Metal finishes work particularly well with industrial, contemporary, and modern dining furniture designs.

Upholstered Dining Chairs

Many dining sets at Cousins Furniture feature upholstered dining chairs, available in fabrics such as velvet, chenille, boucle, and woven materials. Upholstered chairs provide extra comfort and help create a more inviting dining space.

Leather and Faux Leather Dining Chairs

Leather and faux leather dining chairs offer a sophisticated look while being easy to clean and maintain. They are a practical choice for busy family homes while adding a premium feel to your dining area.

Choosing the Right Dining Set Material

The best dining set material depends on your lifestyle, interior style, and how you use your dining space:

  • For a durable family dining table: Ceramic and sintered stone are excellent choices.
  • For a timeless look: Solid wood dining sets offer natural warmth and character.
  • For a modern dining room: Glass, ceramic, and stone-effect finishes create a contemporary feel.

Q. How do I choose the right size dining set for my space?

A.

Measure Your Dining Space

Before choosing a dining set, measure the area where your table and chairs will be placed. Consider the full footprint of the dining set, including the chairs when they are pulled out.

As a general guide, allow around 90cm of space around your dining table so chairs can be comfortably moved in and out, and guests can walk around the table with ease.

Remember to take into account:

  • Doorways and walkways
  • Radiators and heating sources
  • Other furniture nearby
  • The overall flow of the room

Choosing the Right Dining Table Size

The number of people you need to seat will help determine the ideal dining table size:

2 Seater Dining Sets

Perfect for smaller homes, apartments, kitchens, or breakfast areas. A 2 seater dining set provides a practical dining solution without taking up too much space.

4 Seater Dining Sets

A popular choice for couples and smaller families, a 4 seater dining set works well in kitchens, dining rooms, and open-plan living spaces.

6 Seater Dining Sets

A 6 seater dining set offers a comfortable balance between everyday family dining and entertaining guests. This size is ideal for medium-sized dining areas.

8 Seater Dining Sets

Designed for larger homes and those who enjoy hosting family meals and dinner parties, an 8 seater dining set creates a spacious and welcoming dining area.

Extending Dining Sets

If you need flexibility, an extending dining table is a great option. These tables provide everyday practicality while allowing you to create extra seating when entertaining guests.

Consider the Shape of Your Dining Table

The shape of your dining table can make a big difference to how it fits within your room.

Rectangular Dining Tables

Rectangular dining tables are the most popular choice and work well in larger dining rooms. They offer plenty of surface space and are ideal for family meals and entertaining.

Round Dining Tables

Round dining tables are perfect for smaller spaces as they create a more open feel and allow everyone at the table to interact easily.

Oval Dining Tables

Oval dining tables combine the spaciousness of a rectangular table with softer edges, making them a stylish choice for modern and traditional homes.

Square Dining Tables

Square dining tables are ideal for compact dining areas and create a cosy setting for smaller households.

Think About How You Use Your Dining Space

When choosing your dining set, consider your lifestyle:

  • Do you need space for everyday family meals?
  • Do you regularly entertain guests?
  • Will the table be used for working from home or homework?
  • Do you need extra seating for special occasions?

An extending dining set or larger table may be the best option if you frequently host friends and family.

Take time to measure your room, consider your seating requirements, and choose a dining set that provides both comfort and style for your home.

Q. What seating options are available for dining sets?

A.

Dining Chairs

Dining chairs are the most popular seating choice and are available in a variety of styles, materials, and finishes. They provide individual seating with plenty of comfort and support, making them ideal for everyday dining.

Many upholstered dining chairs also feature padded seats and supportive backs, making them ideal for longer meals and entertaining guests.

Dining benches are a versatile and space-saving seating option. They are perfect for creating a relaxed, contemporary dining area and can often seat more people than individual chairs.

Benefits of dining benches include:

  • A modern and casual appearance
  • Flexible seating for family and guests
  • A great option for smaller spaces
  • Easy storage underneath dining tables

Dining benches work particularly well with farmhouse, rustic, and contemporary dining sets.

Armchairs

Dining armchairs provide a more luxurious seating experience, offering additional support and comfort. They are often used at the ends of dining tables to create a statement look or paired with matching dining chairs for a premium finish.

Swivel Dining Chairs

Swivel dining chairs are a modern seating option that combines comfort with flexibility. The rotating base makes it easier to move in and out of the table and creates a relaxed, contemporary feel.

Bar Stools and Counter Height Seating

For kitchen dining areas and breakfast bars, counter stools and bar stools provide a stylish alternative to traditional dining chairs. They are ideal for open-plan kitchens and higher dining tables, creating a casual space for meals and socialising.

Choosing the Right Dining Seating

When selecting seating for your dining set, consider:

  • Comfort: Choose padded or upholstered seating if you enjoy long meals or entertaining.
  • Space: Benches can be a practical choice for smaller dining areas.

Q. How do I maintain and clean my dining set?

A.

How to Clean a Wooden Dining Table

Wooden dining sets are known for their natural beauty and timeless appeal. To maintain your solid wood dining table:

  • Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
  • Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or damage.
  • Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap if needed, then dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid placing hot dishes directly onto the surface — always use coasters and placemats.
  • Keep your dining table away from direct sunlight and heat sources where possible, as this can affect the wood finish over time.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the natural finish.

How to Clean Glass Dining Tables

Glass dining tables are easy to maintain with regular cleaning:

  • Use a soft microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and marks.
  • Clean with a suitable glass cleaner or warm soapy water.
  • Avoid abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.
  • Wipe away spills promptly to prevent streaks or marks.

Using placemats and coasters can help protect the glass surface during everyday use.

How to Maintain Ceramic and Sintered Stone Dining Tables

To care for your ceramic or sintered stone dining table:

  • Wipe clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
  • Remove spills as soon as possible.
  • Avoid dragging heavy items across the surface.
  • Use placemats and coasters to protect the table during meals.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products.

These materials are designed to withstand everyday use while maintaining their stylish appearance.

How to Care for Marble and Stone Dining Tables

  • Wipe spills quickly, especially acidic liquids such as citrus drinks or vinegar.
  • Use a soft cloth and gentle cleaning products.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface.
  • Use coasters, placemats, and table protectors to help prevent marks.

Regular care will help preserve the unique beauty of natural stone.

How to Clean Upholstered Dining Chairs

Dining chairs with fabric upholstery should be cared for regularly to keep them looking fresh.

  • Vacuum gently using a suitable upholstery attachment to remove dust and crumbs.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
  • Avoid rubbing stains, as this can push marks further into the fabric.
  • Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions for your specific fabric.

For deeper cleaning, professional upholstery cleaning may be recommended.

Leather and faux leather dining chairs are practical and easy to maintain.

Q. What factors should I consider when choosing a dining set for outdoor use?

A.

Consider the Size of Your Outdoor Space

Before choosing an outdoor dining set, measure the area where your furniture will be placed. Make sure there is enough room for guests to sit comfortably and for chairs to be moved in and out easily.

Consider:

  • The size of your patio, decking, or garden area
  • How many people you need to seat
  • Space needed to walk around the table
  • Whether you want additional room for accessories such as parasols or outdoor storage

For smaller outdoor areas, a compact 2 or 4 seater dining set can provide a practical solution, while larger gardens may suit 6 or 8 seater outdoor dining sets.

Choose Durable Weather-Resistant Materials

Outdoor dining furniture needs to withstand changing weather conditions, so choosing the right material is essential.

Aluminium Outdoor Dining Sets

Aluminium is a popular choice for outdoor furniture because it is lightweight, strong, and resistant to rust. It requires minimal maintenance and is easy to move around your garden.

Rattan and Wicker Dining Sets

Rattan-style outdoor dining sets offer a stylish, relaxed appearance. Synthetic rattan is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while creating a comfortable and contemporary look.

Teak and Wooden Outdoor Dining Sets

Hardwoods such as teak are naturally durable and can create a warm, timeless outdoor dining space. Wooden garden furniture may require regular maintenance to preserve its appearance.

Metal Outdoor Dining Sets

Metal frames provide strength and stability. Powder-coated finishes can help protect against weathering and improve durability.

Think About Comfort

Comfort is important, especially if you enjoy spending long periods outdoors with family and friends.

Look for:

  • Supportive dining chairs
  • Comfortable cushions
  • Weather-resistant fabrics
  • Ergonomic designs

If your outdoor dining set includes cushions, consider how they can be stored when not in use to help keep them looking their best.

Consider Maintenance Requirements

Different outdoor dining set materials require different levels of care.

Think about:

  • How often you want to clean your furniture
  • Whether you have space to store cushions or furniture during winter
  • Whether the material needs protective treatments
  • How exposed your furniture will be to sunlight and rain

Choosing low-maintenance materials can help you spend more time enjoying your outdoor space.

Match Your Outdoor Dining Set to Your Lifestyle

Consider how you will use your garden furniture:

  • For family meals: Choose a practical dining table with enough seating for everyone.
  • For entertaining: Larger dining sets or extending tables provide extra flexibility.
  • For relaxing: Consider comfortable chairs and additional outdoor seating.
  • For smaller balconies or patios: Compact dining sets maximise available space.

Choose a Style That Complements Your Home

Outdoor dining furniture is available in a variety of styles, from contemporary designs to more traditional garden furniture.

Consider finishes and colours that complement:

  • Your home exterior
  • Existing garden furniture
  • Your landscaping style
  • Your personal taste

Protect Your Outdoor Dining Set

To keep your garden dining furniture looking its best:

  • Use furniture covers when not in use.
  • Store cushions indoors or in a suitable storage box.
  • Clean furniture regularly according to the manufacturer's care instructions.
  • Protect surfaces from excessive weather exposure where possible.
