Dining room furniture is massive and leaves a huge impact on the styling of your house, so make sure you choose your dining sets appropriate to the theme and structural design of your house. The most popular styles are modern, casual contemporary and traditional.

Modern dining room sets are simple, have minimalistic design elements and are usually distinguished by their low profiles and interesting patterns of the frames. Casual contemporary follows a very similar theme, but uses cleaner and more refined lines with curious colors and materials. These sets usually use lighter natural color wood, painted wood and different types of metal as the frames. The surface materials are glass, metal, wood and stone. Chairs that come with modern and contemporary sets resemble the tables in material and design.

Traditional dining room sets are usually heavily decorated, more massive and have a larger presence in a room. With interesting ornaments and use of natural colors, these sets will fit in well into larger rooms. Colors of the wood are primarily natural (oak, walnut, maple etc) or painted in lighter colors. Some high end traditional dining room sets are made of lighter colored stone. The chairs that accompany the traditional tables often use the same material on the legs and arms, while having inserts of fabric or leather for maximum comfort. Like the tables, chairs have unique decorations, ornaments and patterns.
