Casual Is the New Traditional

Casual dining at home doesn’t mean doing away with mealtime rituals. Rather, it’s family togetherness without the pageantry. Families will find many furniture options to complement this contemporary, casual approach.

There are several features that make casual dining sets stand out from their more formal counterparts:

• Customizable: Customization is key to creating the right feel for a casual dining space. Gone is the cookie-cutter dining rooms. Casual dining furniture means flexibility. You can dress down a table with benches, or dress it up with upholstered chairs or for a twist, mix and match your chairs.

• Finishes and Fabrics: Lighter finishes and elements from nature are other ways to incorporate a more casual theme into the dining room. Prints in fabric or wall coverings can bring the outside into the dining room.

• Multifunctional: Today’s dining areas are no longer just for eating. They are the center of entertaining, the homework area, Choose pieces that reflect your family.

Keep these features in mind as you shop for your casual dining set, and you’re sure to have a family dining area you’ll love for years.
