Room enough for every guest

A dining room earns its keep when it can welcome a crowd without feeling cramped. Extendable tables from the RÖDALM and STOCKHOLM ranges give you room to add extra places whenever needed, while ÅLHULT shelving and BACKSTÖRN LED lighting keep the space glowing and organised.

Add character with SVARTSENAP glassware and ARTISTISK tableware, or bring texture into the mix with a BLOMPRAKT centrepiece and FÄRGKLAR accents. Storage such as LOMVIKEN and RÅDMANSÖ cabinets means table linen and serving dishes stay close at hand but out of sight.

Furniture that moves house with you

Some furniture is built to last through every home you live in, not just the one you are in now. The STOCKHOLM and KOMPISHÄNG series bring solid, adaptable pieces that fit a first flat as easily as a family house, while FRÖSVI and GULLSUDARE offer lighter, easy-to-shift options.

RÖDALM and VALLKRASSING extend that flexibility to seating and tables that can be reconfigured as your space changes. Finish the room with VARMBLIXT LED lighting, which adds warmth wherever you decide to put it next.

A flexible dining zone for cooking and gathering

This kind of dining space works as a natural extension of the kitchen, so cooking, eating and socialising all happen in one open area. Open shelving in FÄRGKLAR and STOCKHOLM keeps everyday items reachable, while EKET modules let you build storage that suits the shape of your wall.

TALLTITA and BLADFÅGEL bring colour to the table, and GRADVIS or HALVTOM containers keep dry goods tidy. HULTARP, HÅRSLINGA, KLIPPLAX, KLIPPOXEL and LANDBANA round out the room with practical touches for a space that never feels boxed in.

Your own style in rust, oak and blue tones

Every detail of this dining room can reflect your taste, from the tabletop down to chair legs in the SKÅLSTA series. Wall-mounted storage built from METOD kitchen units keeps things orderly without cluttering the floor, and pieces combine easily so you can put together your own look in a few simple steps.

TERRSJÖ and NISSAFORS bring warmth in oak tones, while FÄRGKLAR and DRAGON glassware add colour to the table. EKET shelving, KALLSUP and KEJSERLIG textiles, and small touches like GRÖNSAKER and KRANSALG finish the scheme with quiet detail.

A traditional dining space for any family size

Warm finishes and thoughtfully placed furniture turn everyday meals into something worth lingering over. GLADELIG and AKTERSPRING seating sit comfortably around a table from the NÄSINGE range, creating a room suited equally to quick breakfasts and long family dinners.

Because it sits close to the kitchen, this is where family life tends to gather, for eating, talking and the odd bit of work at the table. AGAM, ARTISTISK and FJÄRILSBUSKE tableware add character, while KALAS, LOHALS, OLIVTRAST, PÅDRAG, TIDTABELL and TIDVATTEN cover everything from everyday plates to serving pieces.

Scandinavian style for a lively family

A dining space with Scandinavian character starts with an extendable table that can grow to fit a busy household, paired with smart storage for everything from cutlery to schoolbooks. The IVAR shelving system and SPETSBOJ storage keep the room organised, while VIHALS brings a dining table built for flexibility.

Light wood and natural tones, seen in BLÅSVERK and EKENABBEN pieces, are lifted by accent colours from CHILISTRÅN and MÅLA. BRUNBÅGE LED lighting, IBBARBO storage, RIDSTIG chairs and SAMBORD tableware complete a room full of quiet energy.

Compact and flexible, ready to become a workspace

A small home calls for dining furniture that can do more than one job, and this versatile setup answers that brief neatly. The TONSTAD table and NISSAFORS chairs create a compact, lively space, while a RISATORP or RÅSKOG trolley on castors keeps supplies mobile and easy to tuck away.

Within minutes this dining corner becomes a study spot, helped along by DEJSA lighting and EKET storage. FÅNGGRÖDA, INVALLNING, KALAS, KAPPLAKE LED, LJUNGAN and LOSHULT add the finishing details for a room that flexes with the day.

Modern Scandinavian style for a shared student home

Sharing a home means making the most of every centimetre, and this dining corner shows how. A VIHALS drop-leaf table paired with stackable TONSTAD stools and pull-out IBBARBO seating turns a small footprint into a space ready for a quick meal or a long evening with friends.

RIDSTIG chairs add extra seating when needed, while BLODFLÄDER and FJÄDERHARV textiles soften the look. GLADELIG tableware, GULDFISK glassware, KYRRE seating, NISSAFORS storage, RÖDSNULTRA and SANDSBERG lighting complete a setup built for flexible living.

How to choose your dining chairs

Choosing dining chairs means thinking about how they look next to your table, how comfortable they are for long meals, and how easily they can be kept clean over years of use. LISABO and NÄSINGE chairs offer a simple, pared-back shape, while TONSTAD and VIHALS bring a slightly more solid, structured feel.

SKANSNÄS and STOCKHOLM seating add upholstered comfort for those who like to linger at the table, and GRÖNSTA, HAUGA, KYRRE, LYCKAN, MÅRENÄS or PINNTORP give you further choice in shape, material and finish to suit your dining room exactly.
