Company-Ready Dining Sets

Get ready for the entertaining season with a dining set upgrade.

Fall is in the air—which means cozy sweaters, warm apple cider, and the start of the entertaining season. Whether you’re planning to host a small family dinner or a full house for Thanksgiving, now is the time to start thinking about upgrading your dining set. A large dining table not only creates a functional space for meals but also becomes the centerpiece for your holiday gatherings.

At HOM Furniture, we offer a wide variety of company-ready dining sets designed to make hosting effortless and stylish. From large round dining tables that encourage conversation to extension dining tables that adapt to your guest list, there’s a dining solution for every host and home.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Dining Table Now

As the calendar turns toward fall, it’s important to factor in lead times for custom orders. If you’re considering a custom dining table or chairs, ordering early ensures your set will arrive in time for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, and beyond. Even if you’re ordering in-stock pieces, shopping now gives you the widest selection of dining sets, tables, and seating options before the holiday rush.

The dining room is one of the most important spaces in your home during the holidays. It’s where stories are shared, toasts are made, and meals are savored. Investing in a spacious, functional, and beautiful large dining table now means fewer headaches and more joy when your guests arrive.

Large Dining Tables for Grand Gatherings

If you frequently host family and friends, a large dining table is a must. These tables are built for gatherings of six, eight or more, offering generous space for food spreads, decor, and elbow room for guests.

At HOM Furniture, you’ll find dining tables in a variety of materials and styles to match your home’s aesthetic—whether you’re going for traditional, modern farmhouse, transitional, or contemporary. Wood dining tables bring warmth and character. Consider durable options like solid oak or acacia wood for a timeless feel and long-term durability. HOM’s collection includes options with matching chairs, benches, and sideboards, so you can create a fully coordinated dining room in one easy step.

A large dining table that seats 10+ is a nice fit for large dining spaces.

The Flexibility of an Extension Dining Table

Need the flexibility to go from everyday meals to full-scale dinner parties? An extension dining table is your best friend. These tables expand when you need extra seating and tuck back to their original size when not in use. Leaf extensions come in many styles—from pop-up butterfly leaves to drop-in leaves—and make it easy to scale up without sacrificing space or style.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate weeknight dinner or a 10-person holiday feast, extension tables adapt to your changing needs. Choose from rectangular, oval, or large round dining table designs with extension capabilities to fit your layout and lifestyle.

Many of our dining sets come with customizable options, allowing you to choose the perfect style and fit for your home. Be sure to allow extra time for custom orders—place your order now to ensure it arrives in time for the holiday season.

An extension is a good option for those who need a bigger table for occasional entertaining.

Dining Table Shapes: Inclusive and Inviting

When choosing a dining table, the shape plays a key role in both style and function. Rectangular tables are the most traditional and versatile, offering ample seating and fitting well in longer rooms. Their elongated design offers plenty of surface space, making them ideal for larger families or those who love to entertain. Rectangular tables also fit seamlessly into most dining rooms, especially longer or narrow spaces, and pair well with a variety of seating options—from traditional dining chairs to bench seating for a more relaxed feel. With styles ranging from rustic wood finishes to sleek, modern designs, a rectangular table brings both function and style to your dining area.

Round dining tables bring a warm, inviting feel to any dining space, making them perfect for creating close, conversational settings. With no sharp corners, they allow for easy movement around the table and are a great choice for smaller spaces or open-concept layouts. Their balanced shape encourages a more inclusive dining experience, where everyone can easily see and engage with one another. From cozy kitchen nooks to stylish dining rooms, round tables add a soft, elegant touch and come in a variety of styles and finishes to suit both classic and contemporary homes.

Whether you’re hosting large gatherings or enjoying quiet dinners at home, the right table shape can help set the tone for your space.

Add Extra Seating for Holiday Guests

When preparing your dining room for guests, don’t forget about extra seating. HOM offers a wide range of dining chairs, benches, and stools that complement your table while giving everyone a comfortable place to sit. Upholstered chairs bring an elevated look, while wood or metal options are easy to clean and perfect for families with kids.

Consider pairing a bench with your table for a casual look and added flexibility. Benches tuck neatly under the table when not in use and can often seat more guests than traditional chairs, making them ideal for big family meals. Stools can also be a great option to keep at a kitchen island or bar, and pull over to the table when extra seating is needed.

Design Tips for a Company-Ready Dining Room

Once you’ve selected the perfect large dining table, take your entertaining setup to the next level with thoughtful design touches:

  • Add a statement light fixture above your table to define the space and create ambiance.

  • Incorporate a sideboard, china or buffet for extra storage and serving space—great for holiday spreads.

  • Use seasonal home décor like fall centerpieces, candle arrangements, and table runners to bring warmth and personality to your gatherings.

  • Add an area rug for a cozy, inviting feel that welcomes guests and makes your dining room the star of the season.
