Dining in a small room

Round tables, lighter chairs and a console that doubles as a sideboard: making room for six in a small flat.

Start with the room

Measure the space and the way in: the door, the stairs and the turn in the hall. A piece that will not get through the door is the most common return we see.

Then think about how you live

Who sits here, and for how long? A deep seat suits long evenings, a firmer one suits a desk or a dinner. Ask us for the seat height and depth of anything on the site.

• Mark the size on the floor with tape before you order.
• Order fabric and wood samples: they are free.
• Keep the packaging for the thirty days, just in case.

Comfort beats looks

The best piece is the one you are happy to use every day. Sit, lean and stretch before you choose the colour.

Good furniture disappears into the day: you notice the evening, not the chair.

Still not sure?

Write to us with a photo of the room and we will suggest two or three pieces that fit. We answer within the hour on most days.
