What Is the Difference Between a Kitchen and Dining Room?
As the No. 1 furniture and mattress store in the world, we’re often asked what the difference is between a kitchen and dining room. Put simply, a dining room is a separate room next to the kitchen. Many modern homes tend to favor open concept floor plans without a formal dining room to maximize space; however, many people continue to love the elegance offered by a dedicated dining room. Whatever your preference, we carry all the kitchen and dining room furniture you need to create your ideal kitchen or dining room space.

What Do You Call a Dining Room Chair With Arms?
Dining room chairs with arms are often called armchairs, whereas chairs without arms are referred to as side chairs. Chairs with arms were traditionally found at the head of the table, lending a formal feel to the dining table. Contemporary dining room designs often mix-and-match dining room chairs with and without arms, helping to achieve a fresh, eclectic look. Because of this, we categorize both armchair and side chair dining chairs as simply, “dining chairs.” Browse Ashley’s kitchen & dining room furniture and accessories to get a feel for which pieces would be perfect in your dining room. The limit is your imagination when it comes to customizing your kitchen & dining room.
