Whether you’re moving into your first home or just redecorating your current abode, choosing new furniture is one of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make. When it comes to the dining room, choosing pieces can be particularly challenging, primarily because it is one of the most-used spaces in your home.

In St. Louis, MO, McGuire Furniture Rental & Sales is the preferred furniture store. As interior design enthusiasts, they know what it takes to create a perfectly cohesive dining room setup. Here, their team offers a few tips to make buying new furniture for this space a little easier. 

3 Tips for Buying New Furniture for the Dining Room 

1. Set a Budget

Decorating a room can be expensive, especially if you’re buying brand new furniture. Set a budget to help determine how much you can comfortably afford to spend. The budget should include big pieces, like the dining room table and chairs, as well as smaller items, like wall decorations. 

2. Choose the Table First 

The dining room table is the focal point of the space. As such, you should choose this piece first to help round out the theme of the whole room. By selecting the table first, you’ll have an excellent starting point to set some parameters when choosing other design elements you’d like to incorporate. 

3. Choose Chairs That Follow a Theme

Unless you’re buying a full dining set, there’s no need to perfectly match your chairs to the table. As long as they follow the same design theme, it will look cohesive and clean. For instance, if you bought a sleek, modern dining table, choose chairs that reflect that style.
