An oak dining set offers a versatile base for various styles. For a modern look, pair it with contemporary upholstered chairs in colours like grey or black, and add a sleek pendant light above. A rug can define the dining area and soften the wood's warmth. If you prefer a rustic feel, choose woven textures for seat cushions and add some greenery. Consider linen napkins and a textured table runner for a relaxed, natural vibe. For a classic or traditional aesthetic, complement the oak with leather chairs and elegant tableware. To create a brighter space, use lighter-coloured chairs and accessories. Don't be afraid to mix and match - try adding a bench on one side for a more casual approach.

When planning your dining space, ensure enough room to comfortably move around and between chairs. Ideally, allow 75-90cm between the edge of your dining table and walls or other furniture. This provides ample space to pull chairs out and walk around without feeling cramped. Between diners, aim for at least 60cm of space per person to avoid elbows bumping. Consider the size of your dining chairs too, adding their depth to the space needed around the table. For extending tables, factor in the fully extended length to ensure you have enough room to accommodate extra guests comfortably. For a rectangular 6-seater table, you will be looking at having approximately 150cm by 90cm surface space, so consider the fully extended space requirements for a room accordingly.

Our oak dining tables typically stand at a height of 75cm-76cm. This height is standard across most dining tables and comfortably accommodates most dining chairs. The Nala, Aver, and Hanne oak dining tables all adhere to this standard measurement, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

To keep your oak dining set looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For spills, wipe them up immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry the area thoroughly. Protect your table from heat and moisture by using coasters, placemats, and trivets. Avoid placing hot dishes directly on the surface. Over time, you might want to apply a furniture polish specifically designed for oak to maintain its shine. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
