Your dining space is more than just a room—it’s where conversations happen, meals are shared, and memories are made. Choosing the right dining furniture ensures not just functionality but also enhances the ambiance of your home. Whether you're setting up a new home or upgrading your current dining area, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know before making your investment.
1. Define Your Dining Space and Needs
Before diving into aesthetics and materials, start by measuring your space. Are you working with a spacious dining room, a cozy breakfast nook, or an open-concept kitchen? The size of your space will determine the type of dining table and dining table benches that will best fit.
If your space is limited, opt for round or oval dining tables, which maximize seating without taking up too much floor space. Larger rooms can accommodate rectangular or marble top dining tables, offering more room for hosting.
2. Explore Different Dining Furniture Styles
When choosing dining furniture, it’s important to align it with your home’s existing design aesthetic. Do you lean towards modern minimalism, rustic charm, or timeless elegance?
• Modern homes may benefit from sleek lines and neutral-toned marble dining tables like the Nora Stan Grey Marble Dining Table or the TRISSA ROUND DINING TABLE from Marbeya Charm.
• Traditional interiors pair beautifully with solid wood or travertine dining tables, offering classic appeal and durability.
• Contemporary styles welcome oval and black marble tables, such as the ZIBRESSE DINING TABLE or TRISSA OVAL DINING TABLE, ideal for making a bold design statement.
3. Why Material Matters: Durability Meets Design
The material of your dining table plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and longevity.
Marble Dining Tables
Marble has become a favorite for its luxurious appearance and sturdy build. With a wide variety like white, grey, black, and brown marble, brands like Marbeya Charm offer premium options like the Mugla White Dining Table or the Siyah Dining Table—balancing elegance with function.
Travertine Dining Table (UAE Exclusive)
Travertine, a limestone derivative, is known for its natural texture and resilience. A travertine dining table UAE homeowners love not only withstands heat and wear but also complements Middle Eastern interior design sensibilities.
Wood and Composite
If you're looking for something warmer or more rustic, solid wood is always a great option. Engineered wood or composite tables offer affordability and style but may lack the longevity of natural stone or hardwood.
4. Chairs vs. Benches: What Should You Choose?
Traditional dining chairs are always a safe choice, but dining table benches offer a modern, space-saving alternative. Benches accommodate more people and lend a relaxed, communal vibe.
• Pros of benches:
o Fit more people (ideal for families or guests)
o Easier to tuck under the table
o Create a sleek, cohesive look
• Cons:
o Less individualized comfort
o Can be harder for older guests to get in and out
For the best of both worlds, pair a bench on one side with individual chairs on the other—balancing comfort and aesthetics.
5. Functionality Features to Look For
Dining tables today go beyond just surface and legs. Consider these features to enhance your dining experience:
• Extendable tabletops: Ideal for both daily use and hosting larger gatherings.
• Rounded edges: Safer for homes with children.
• Easy maintenance: Especially important with marble or travertine, which may need periodic sealing.
Marbeya Charm’s TRAVA 02 DINING TABLE combines style with options for different size configurations, ensuring flexibility for varying household needs.
6. Budgeting: What to Expect
Prices for dining furniture can vary dramatically. Here’s a breakdown based on the current Marbeya Charm catalog:
• Mid-range options like the TINA DINING TABLE or KIRMIZI DINING TABLE range from Dhs. 2,700 to Dhs. 5,000.
• Premium selections such as the PANDA DINING TABLE or COLISANDRA DINING TABLE can reach upwards of Dhs. 37,000+.
• Sales and discounts (up to 30%) are regularly available, making luxury more affordable. Always check for promotional offers like those seen on the TRISSA ROUND DINING TABLE or ZIBRESSE DINING TABLE.
7. Dining Furniture Maintenance Tips
To keep your dining furniture looking pristine:
• Use coasters and placemats to prevent surface damage.
• Clean spills immediately, especially on porous materials like marble and travertine.
• Use specialized cleaners or gentle soap to preserve finish and shine.
• For travertine tables in UAE’s humid climate, sealing once a year can prevent moisture damage.
