Lesson 07: Plans And Furniture Arrangement

The Dining Room

Present day habits of living tend to become less formal for dining arrangements than in the past, and in the small house the separate dining room is very popular. Good china or earthenware need not be hidden away in closed storage when not in use; a glass-fronted cabinet above the sideboard, or elsewhere in the room, can provide the main decorative feature, especially if the useful china is displayed with one or two decorative pieces.

The floor covering should be durable and easily cleaned – a polished, tiled or lino - covered floor is more practical than carpet.
