Contemporary Dining Room Furniture
What is contemporary Furniture?
If you are choosing contemporary dining room furniture, you will need to think about the look you want to achieve. To get the contemporary dining room look with wooden furniture, it is worthwhile knowing exactly what the word "contemporary" means as it is sometimes confused with the word "modern." Contemporary really means "now" or "at this current time" whereas modern relates to a certain time period. This means whatever is contemporary today may seem a bit dated in a few years time. Instead of updating your contemporary dining room furniture regularly, which could prove costly, it is best to settle on a few neutral pieces that will stand the test of time. Neutral pieces can then be updated with new accessories to create a completely different look.

How to Get the Contemporary Look
A contemporary dining room is all about minimal furniture and accessories, uncluttered open spaces and hardwearing furniture that will stand the test of time. It ideal for homes with young children or pets as the furniture is made up of durable materials so it can withstand everyday wear and tear.
Contemporary dining room furniture is minimalist in design and features sleek, clean lines, modern construction and a geometric outline. A contemporary dining room set offers a wonderful blend of comfort and style, which creates a space of harmony and relaxation.
Ideas are unlimited in contemporary dining room furniture and a wide range of materials are available including wood, glass, plastic, leather, stone and metal. Puji specialise in sustainable hardwoods, especially teak wood, which is very durable. Our contemporary dining room furniture is also made from oak, alder, mahogany, natural fibres and stainless steel for that extra wow factor.
Contemporary Dining Room Tables
The focal point of the dining room is the table, so it is always the best place to start when choosing your furniture. Dinner tables come in all sorts of shapes including round, square and rectangular. Round tables are more intimate and allow for better eye contact than traditional rectangular ones, so conversation flows better. It is easy to add another chair if a last minute guest shows up. Square tables are popular in a contemporary dining room as this type of furniture is more sociable and eliminates the need for a head of table. Puji's Klasik square dining table comfortably seats eight people.
Contemporary Dining Room Chairs
Dining room chairs often come in a matching set with a table. For a harmonious look to your room select chairs that match the wood of the table, or alternatively pick chairs that contrast - such as woven banana chairs that will add an exotic feel to the room. These beautiful chairs work perfectly with all of the Puji dining room tables. Think about comfort as well as appearance when selecting dining room chairs, so that your guests are happy to sit for longer when the conversation flows. Puji contemporary dining room furniture has a wide range of chairs that are beautiful and relaxing.
Other Contemporary Dining Room Furniture
If you have enough space in the room, you should also have furniture for serving and storage. The most popular dining room furniture to serve up food for family and guests include sideboards, buffets and console tables. Store away glasses, china and dishes in cupboards, cabinets and open shelving. A good option for this is Puji's Cubic bookshelf or custom-made alcove shelving.
Accessories
Natural materials bring a touch of the exotic into the home. Puji's contemporary accessories such as mirrors, vases and lighting, enhance our furniture range and are visually appealing in their own right. Invest in some contemporary tableware. Our place mats and coasters not only look good, but also help protect your table. Table runners are an attractive way to dress your dinner table and can either match or contrast with the colours in your dining room.
How to Create a Contemporary Dining Room
Space
For a contemporary dining room look, create the illusion of space by taking out unnecessary furniture. A few well-chosen pieces will keep the space open and airy and make the room appear larger.
De-clutter
Keep clutter to a minimum. For anything that you don't need either get rid of it or store it away in cupboards or sideboards. Make sure everything you display is either attractive or special in some way.
Nature
Use nature in different and appealing ways. A bamboo or coco stick mirror will bring texture into your dining room and act as a talking point. Dress up an unappealing corner with a floor vase containing bamboo sticks.
Colours
A new coat of paint will give your space a fresh feel. Use brilliant white, cream, soft grey, browns and taupe. Add flashes of colour with accessories to enhance your furniture pieces. Introduce colour with wall art, rugs, and pictures. For a bold look, paint one wall a different colour.
Artwork
The contemporary look is about clean lines, shapes, and simplicity. Contemporary art is simple and dramatic. Floor to ceiling artwork can really enhance the look of your dining room.
Lighting
Lighting is important in interior design as it can really make a difference to the overall look of a room. Puji has a range of contemporary home lighting, which includes table lamps and large floor lamps. A contemporary chandelier creates a focal point and adds the perfect finishing touch.
