Dining & Living Furniture

Looking to furnish your dining room or living space? At The Bed Shop and Sofa Superstore, we stock practical dining and living furniture across our Scunthorpe, Keighley, Pontefract and Bedale showrooms. From extendable dining tables for family meals to coffee tables and sideboards for living rooms, you can see everything in person before buying.

Whether you need a complete dining set or individual pieces like bookcases or display cabinets, our team can guide you through options that work in real homes. With over 45 years of experience, we understand what matters in everyday furniture.

Dining Room Furniture

Dining tables: Available in fixed and extending options. Rectangular tables suit most dining rooms, while round and oval shapes work well in smaller spaces or square rooms. Extending tables provide flexibility for hosting without taking up daily floor space.

Dining chairs: Choose between upholstered seats for comfort or solid wood for durability and easy cleaning. Check seat height matches your table, typically 45-48cm. Consider armchairs for table ends if space allows.

Sideboards: Provide storage for crockery, table linens, and serving items. Most sideboards include cupboards and drawers in various configurations. Widths range from compact 120cm to generous 200cm options.

Living Room Furniture

Coffee tables: Available in various sizes and shapes to suit different seating arrangements. Lift-top coffee tables offer hidden storage and raised surfaces for eating or laptop use. Consider height relative to your sofa seats, typically 40-45cm.

TV cabinets: Range from simple stands to large entertainment units with storage. Check the width accommodates your TV size with space either side. Cable management features help keep wires tidy.

Bookcases and display furniture: Open bookcases provide accessible storage for books and ornaments. Glazed display cabinets protect collectibles while keeping them visible. Wall units maximize vertical space in smaller rooms.

Lamp tables and nest of tables: Lamp tables provide surfaces beside sofas and chairs for drinks, books, and lighting. Nest of tables store together when not needed, then separate when hosting guests.

Matching vs Mix-and-Match

Buying furniture from the same range ensures matching wood tones, consistent styling, and coordinated proportions. This works particularly well in traditional dining rooms where cohesion matters.

In open-plan spaces or contemporary homes, mixing different ranges can create visual interest. Keep wood tones similar or deliberately contrast them. Our team can suggest combinations that look intentional rather than accidental.

Measuring Your Space

Measure your room carefully before visiting our showrooms. For dining tables, allow at least 90cm clearance around all sides for chair movement. Living room furniture needs walkway space, typically 60-90cm between pieces.

Bring room dimensions, note where doors and windows sit, and mark any radiators or alcoves. This helps us suggest furniture that fits properly without overwhelming your space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size dining table do I need?

Allow 60cm width per person for comfortable dining. A four-seater table typically measures 120cm long, six-seater 150-180cm, and eight-seater 200-240cm. Ensure at least 90cm clearance around the table for chairs and movement. Visit our showrooms to see different sizes in person.

Should I buy matching dining and living furniture?

Matching furniture creates a cohesive look, but mixing finishes can add character in open-plan spaces. Choose a common element like wood tone or style to tie pieces together. Our team at Scunthorpe, Keighley, Pontefract or Bedale can help you combine different ranges effectively.

What furniture do I need for a living room?
