Your kitchen and dining room are some of the most heavily used areas of your home. These rooms are where you host parties, have family dinners, help your kids with their homework, and make your meals each day. When selecting a dining room set for your home, you want to make sure that the furniture you choose fits your aesthetic and needs. The furniture experts at Midwest Clearance Center have helped residents across St. Peters and Fenton, MO, as well a Fairview Heights, IL, find the furniture sets they need at competitive prices.

Below, their experienced salespeople offer tips on what to keep in mind when selecting a dining room set for your home.

• Size: Size is critical when it comes to choosing a kitchen table or dining room set. You want to look for a table that will be able to seat your entire family, as well as at least a few guests. Depending on the size of your family, this could mean opting for a large table. But it’s important to remember that the table should also fit comfortably within your kitchen or dining room without inconveniencing anyone seated at the table.
• Use: You should also keep in mind the desired use for your table. Will this be a table used on a daily basis, or will it mainly be for special occasions, such as dinner parties? If you are purchasing a table for the latter reason, you may want to select a fancier, more elegant table, instead of opting for a utilitarian style.
• Material: The material of your dining room set should match the aesthetic of your home. Many traditional sets are made of dense woods, like mahogany. However, if your home is more chic or modern, a glass or marble dining room set could be the perfect complement to your space. 
• Shape: The shape of your table should be determined by your room size and the average number of guests you expect in your home. If your dining room is a wider area, you may benefit from an oval or round table. If your area is a bit more limited, a rectangular or square dining room set may be the right option for you.
