Your Guide to Choosing a High Quality Dining Set on a Budget

Are you reaching the stage in life where you now have to sacrifice an online clothes shopping haul in order to save for a piece of furniture? If you answered yes, we can now confirm that you are officially an adult, congratulations, it’s all dining tables and 3 piece suites from here on in.

 Now you are asking yourself how do I budget without sacrificing quality? It is so important to find the right balance between quality and saving money. Buying a quality piece that will last long into the future will benefit you in the long run. The cheaper option may be tempting in the short term but think about the long term. If you increase your budget slightly it will be worth it in the end. 

Lately, the dining room has become an even more integral part of home life. Not only is it a place where we have some of the best conversations, eat our food but it is now doubling up as a work-from-home desk and a school desk. Our dining tables seem to be doing a lot more than they signed up for. 

Purchasing a Dining Set on a Budget 

You may be dreaming of giving your dining room a complete makeover but maybe you have some concerns about the budget. Please don’t stress, it is absolutely possible to upgrade your dining room table and chairs without breaking the bank. The best memories are made around a dinner table. It is so important to choose wisely and ensure the dining table is durable and comfortable for everyone. We have come up with tips and tricks along with affordable quality options from our extensive dining range that will allow you to stay within your budget. Maybe the clothes haul and a new dining set is possible after all?

Traditional Style

We have found two fantastic traditional style budget-friendly options. The Kinsale or Canterbury Extending dining tables would fit the bill for those looking to achieve the traditional look. The traditional style of both dining tables will create a warm inviting atmosphere in your dining room. Both can be extended to accommodate larger families or those with guests in smaller spaces. This saves you money in the long run and if your family grows it means you don’t have to purchase a bigger table. The matching chairs have a high back for extra comfort. Both dining sets look beautiful while keeping your bank account happy.

Urban Industrial 

If you are looking to achieve the Urban Industrial look in your home the San Francisco range is a stunning reclaimed pine dining table that is super stylish and super budget-friendly. This range would be ideal for families or those who have just purchased a new home. It features a matching dining bench and chairs that will keep your furniture budget in check. You can buy the full San Francisco dining set for under 1k. Didn’t we tell you that we always save the best news for last?

Rustic

Rustic interiors are all about showcasing natural materials and the texture of the wood. The Grafton dining table ticks all the boxes when it comes to a rustic and budget-friendly dining table. It is the perfect stage for entertaining your friends or hosting your family meals. Its matching dining bench is the perfect addition and will create a fabulous rustic dining room like no other.

Contemporary

If contemporary is more your style then we have got you covered. Our Tia round and rectangle dining tables feature a contrasting melamine top against oak veneer legs. Pairing it with the Academy or Whitby chairs will give your dining room a modern twist all for under €700.

Mix and Match your Dining Chairs

Mixing and matching your dining set can make your dining room stand out from the crowd. If you have bought matching four dining chairs, you can always buy a different style chair for the top and tail of your dining set further down the line when you need them. Some of our favourite ones that come in under €130 include the Yukon, Archie and Versaille dining chairs.

Accessorise to Create a Fresh Dining Setup

Another great way to freshen up your dining set is by accessorising. You can create a whole new dining table by updating your accessories. A bright or funky runner can transform your dining table in an instant. Something as simple as a new vase with fresh flowers can be a simple yet effective touch. Changing your dinnerware and placemats to something new and on-trend may transform your table without breaking the bank.

Save Space and Money with Dining Benches

If you are looking for another way to save when purchasing a dining set, a great saving tip is to purchase a dining bench. Dining benches will make your dining room look incredibly stylish while saving you space and money. Is there anything they can’t do? Some of our favourite budget-friendly dining benches include the Ottowa, Idaho, and Polygon ranges.

When it comes to dining sets there is a huge selection at a budget, whether you have bought your first home, are renting an apartment or starting a family you can achieve any look. Buying a dining set that lasts for years doesn’t require breaking the budget. Your dining set will serve you well and keep all your secrets. It is a blessing that they don’t have ears.
