What counts as kitchen furniture?
Kitchen furniture is what turns a room you cook in into a room people sit in: dining tables and chairs, dining sets, breakfast bar sets, sideboards, display cabinets and wine racks. In most UK homes the kitchen table does more work than any other piece of furniture in the house.
Start with the room rather than the look. Measure the space, decide how many people eat there on a normal weekday, and only then think about finish. Get the size right and a solid pine farmhouse set and a sleek extending oak table will both work; get it wrong and neither will.
Dining sets by kitchen size
The Ludlow 6 Seater Dining Set gives you a 140cm table and six chairs for a family that eats together. The Coxmoor Extending Dining Set is the flexible option, running from 80cm up to 120cm so it stays out of the way midweek and grows at the weekend. For something more contemporary, the Rufford Two-Tone Dining Set brings a two-tone finish with a bit more character.
When space is tight
A folding set is the answer in a galley kitchen. The Santos Butterfly Folding Space Saving Dining Set opens to 115cm for four and folds to just 38.5cm against the wall, with the chairs stowed inside the frame, and comes in grey, navy, white, green or pine. Where even that is too much, the Riley Small Dining Table Set with 2 Chairs is a 71cm two-seater.
Storage and finishes
Oak, pine, white, grey, black and two-tone finishes run through the range, from waxed farmhouse pine to concrete-effect and black. For storage, the Corona 2 Door 2 Drawer Buffet Hutch stands 193cm tall on a 100cm footprint, so it holds a lot without eating floor space. Sideboards and glazed display cabinets do the same job lower down.
