Dining room and crockery unit designs
Dining areas in Indian homes often share space with the living room or kitchen. Plan seating for the whole family, a crockery or bar unit, and a pendant or cove light over the table.
5 ideas · Save the ones you like and add them to your brief
Before you brief a designer
Table size
Size the table for daily use, with space to pull chairs out and walk around.
Crockery unit
Glass shutters display; closed lower storage keeps everyday items hidden.
Light over the table
A pendant centred on the table anchors the space.
Easy-clean finishes
Choose surfaces that handle spills and hot dishes.
Common questions
General guidance for Indian homes. A professional confirms measurements, materials and feasibility on site.
How do I separate the dining area from the living room?
Use a rug, a pendant light, a partial jaali or slatted screen, or a change in wall finish to define the dining zone without closing it off.
Should the dining table be round or rectangular?
Round tables suit compact square spaces and conversation; rectangular tables seat more people along a long wall or room.
Where should a crockery unit go?
Close to the dining table and the kitchen entrance, on a wall where its shutters can open fully.
