When designing a dining area, we at TATHAASTU consider several important factors

• 1. Functionality : The dining area should be designed with functionality in mind. Consider the number of people it needs to accommodate and ensure there is enough space for comfortable seating and movement.


• 2. Layout : Determine the best layout for the dining area based on the available space and the overall design of the room. Common layouts include square, rectangular, or circular tables, as well as booth or banquette seating.


• 3. Lighting : Adequate lighting is crucial for creating a pleasant dining experience. Consider a combination of ambient lighting, such as overhead fixtures or pendant lights, and task lighting, such as table lamps or sconces.


• 4. Colors : Colors: Choose colors that create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Warm colors like earth tones or soft neutrals can be soothing, while bold or vibrant colors can add energy and excitement. Consider the overall style and mood you want to achieve.


• 5. Furniture : Select dining furniture that complements the style and size of the space. Choose a dining table and chairs that are comfortable and proportionate to the room. Pay attention to the materials and finishes to ensure durability and easy maintenance.


• 6. Storage : Incorporate storage solutions if needed, such as a sideboard or buffet, to keep dining essentials close at hand. This can also serve as a decorative element and provide additional surface space for displaying decor or serving dishes.


• 7. Acoustics : Consider the acoustics of the dining area to minimize noise and create a pleasant dining environment. Incorporate sound-absorbing materials like curtains, rugs, or acoustic panels to reduce echoes and reverberation.


• 8. Accessibility : Design the dining area to be accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Ensure there is enough space for wheelchair access and consider the height of the table and chairs to accommodate different needs.

Types of Dining Areas :

• 1. Formal Dining Area : Usually separate from the kitchen and reserved for special occasions or formal gatherings.


• 2. Casual Dining Area : Typically located within or adjacent to the kitchen and used for everyday meals.


• 3. Outdoor Dining Area : Set up on a patio, deck, or garden, allowing for dining in an open-air environment.


• 4. Breakfast Nook : A small, cozy dining area often located near the kitchen, ideal for quick meals or informal gatherings.

Colors for Dining Areas :

• 1. Neutral colors like beige, ivory, or gray create a timeless and versatile backdrop.


• 2. Warm colors like red, orange, or brown can stimulate appetite and create a cozy atmosphere.


• 3. Cool colors like blue or green can have a calming effect and promote relaxation.


• 4. Bold colors like deep purple or vibrant yellow can add a touch of drama or playfulness, but should be used sparingly or as accents to avoid overwhelming the space.
