The holidays are close. Thanksgiving is November 26. Now is the time to get your home ready for guests.
Here is how to make your dining room the place everyone wants to stay.
Start with the table
The table sets the mood. A round table pulls everyone into one conversation. No head seat. No one stuck at the far end.
Our Topa Topa round dining table is solid white oak on four column legs. It feels warm and grounded. It works for a quiet dinner for four or a full holiday meal.
Choose chairs people want to sit in
Holiday dinners run long. Comfort matters.
The Teddy dining chair is wrapped in camel boucle on solid wood legs. Soft to the touch and easy to love.
The Rio pivot dining chair swivels. Guests can turn to talk without scraping the floor.
Mixing the two keeps the table relaxed, not stiff.
Add a rug
A rug frames the table and softens the noise of a full room. Try the Desert Weave Sand rug for a light, natural look. Choose the Espresso rug for something deeper and cozier.
Sizing tip: let the rug reach about 24 inches past the table on every side. Chairs stay on the rug when guests pull them out.
Make room for after dinner
Once the plates are cleared, people drift. Give them a soft place to land.
The Provence curved sofa invites conversation. The Teddy boucle accent chair fills a corner beautifully. Add a few Teddy boucle sphere pillows in beige or mushroom for texture.
Bounce the light
Days are short this time of year. The Ojai floor mirror, in warm oak or charcoal, catches candlelight and makes any room feel bigger.
Order early
Good furniture takes time to arrive. Our larger pieces come with white-glove delivery, so they show up ready to use. Order now and your new pieces will be home before the first guest knocks.
