What do you need for a dining room?

Dining Needs.
Dining is an everyday activity, but when planning, we should do our best to deal with many needs of a perfect dining room. Well, this might help you with the list of specification. This is actually based on the need for eating itself. Sometimes, even the kind of food we eat will determine the need of a dining room planning.

First thing:
We have to consider easy access to every chair in the dining area, this will include the ease of serving and cleaning. In this area, we might want it to be at the same floor level as the kitchen for convenience and safety. Easy access from everywhere inside the house will be great for all family and guests.

The surfaces on which we put food and utensils, usually 27 to 30 inches high, but lower then indicated or desired. If there are children, there might be special table for them and with their colors too.

The seats should be comfortable. Try the furniture first before you buy it! Kinds of seats are usually chairs, stools, built in or movable benches. The table should be on the right height, too.



And don't  forget about light. It is very important. Natural or artificial, can be very helpful. They should illuminate food, table, and people without glare. Light should not be too bright or too dark. It will be better if the light is adjustable. For special time, use candles for lighting.

Last but not least: the air circulation or ventilation should be good, too.
