Hosting Raya, CNY and Deepavali: Furniture for Festive Gatherings
Insights That Save You Time and Money
Buying furniture is one of the most impactful decisions for your home. Multi-cultural festive content connecting to Singapore celebrations At Mega Home Furnishing, we have helped thousands of Singapore families furnish their homes — and in this article, we share what we have learned.
Getting the Dimensions Right
Allow 60cm per person along the table edge and 80-100cm between table edge and nearest wall for chair movement. For a 4-room BTO, a 4-6 seater table is usually most practical.
Pedestal-base tables make it easier to tuck chairs in compared to four-leg designs — helpful in tight dining areas.
Table Shape Matters
- Rectangular — Most versatile, maximises seating, fits against walls. Best for narrow HDB dining areas.
- Round — No sharp corners, intimate dining, good for square spaces.
- Oval — Generous surface with softer visual flow.
- Extendable — Compact daily, expands for festive entertaining.
At Mega Home Furnishing, we carry all shapes to suit every Singapore home layout.
Chair and Table Pairing
Standard table height: 73-76cm. Seat height: 43-48cm. This pairing ensures comfortable posture for long meals. Armless chairs tuck under more completely in tight spaces.
