When choosing furniture for your dining room or dining area - which is mostly the dining table and the seating - it’s important to make sure that the individual pieces work together. And that includes the various forms of seating you opt for - the dining chairs, bench and stools - especially if they’re not matching. That’s exactly where the 4-inch rule for dining seating comes in.
The rule is perhaps not traditionally used as a dining room idea – most experts know it as the 4-inch rule for living room seating. But it actually works just as well in a dining setting as in a lounge.
