A coordinated look the easy way

Looking for a short cut to a coordinated look? Dining sets combine a table with chairs that match. You’ll find a big variety to choose from, like this set with a round table. Round tables make it easier to squeeze in extra places for guests. This one goes a step further because it’s extendable to seat six in comfort.

Why not soften things up with textiles?

A rug under your table won’t just feel softer, it softens up the look and atmosphere and helps define your dining area. Just make sure there’s room on the rug for the chairs when they’re pulled out, too. Upholstered chairs boost any meal with extra comfort so everyone can sit and enjoy themselves for even longer.

Set the mood with light and sound

If you like soft lighting and gentle music during your meals, you’ll love this SYMFONISK picture frame with WiFi speaker and the TRÅDFRI LED bulb in the pendant lamp. Both are smart home products, so you can dim the light and change the tunes using a remote control or the Home Smart app on your phone.

Bright ideas to enhance your meals

A pendant lamp or two above your dining table lights up the food and the nice way you’ve presented it. They also illuminate your whole dining area, creating atmosphere and giving it a cosy room within a room feeling. Our lamps come in lots of different designs, so it’s easy to find ones you like and that go with your dining table and chairs.

Dining chairs for the kids, too

Here’s a dining room in a bright Scandinavian style with lots of natural touches. Like the acacia wood SKOGSTA dining table and chairs or the pine IVAR cabinet that we’ve painted a fresh green. And there’s an AGAM junior chair for that family member who’s too big for a highchair but too small for a regular one.

Instant softness with chair pads

Chair pads boost your comfort and add to the look, too. In this dining area the style is warm, friendly and connected to nature – traditional with a few surprises. Just like these chair pads. They look and feel like sheepskin but that inviting softness isn’t wool – it’s recycled polyester.

Dining table and chairs design ideas for smaller spaces

A wall-hung drop-leaf table takes up no floor space when you’re not using it. This one has shelves for storage, too. Here, it’s positioned so the drop-leaf meets the edge of the other table, providing places for two guests. Another great idea is stackable chairs – again saving you space when they’re not needed.
