Indoor dining settings in Australia are commonly available in 5-piece, 7-piece and 9-piece configurations. A 5-piece setting suits smaller dining rooms and apartments, a 7-piece setting suits most family homes, and a 9-piece setting suits larger dining rooms and open-plan entertaining spaces. Finishes include coastal whitewash, oak, walnut, marri timber and contemporary styles. Ships from Sydney. 30-day returns.
Measure your dining room first, then match the setting size to your available floor space and seating needs. Choose round tables for compact rooms, rectangular tables for longer spaces and extendable tables for flexible entertaining. Check exact dimensions, materials and seating capacity on each product page before ordering.
Size Guide
Match the Dining Setting to Your Room Size and Guest Count
Measure your dining room before you order. Allow at least 90 cm between the edge of the table and the nearest wall or furniture so chairs can move comfortably. Use this as a quick reference:
5-Piece Setting
Seats 4 → apartments, breakfast areas, smaller dining rooms
7-Piece Setting
Seats 6 → family homes, open-plan dining rooms
9-Piece Setting
Seats 8 → formal dining rooms, large entertaining spaces
If your room is narrow, choose a round or extendable table to improve movement around the setting.

Coastal and Hamptons Interiors
Light whitewash and coastal finishes suit airy dining rooms, beachside homes and Hamptons-inspired interiors. These settings help smaller rooms feel brighter and more open.
Contemporary and Scandi Rooms
Oak and ash tones work well in contemporary, Scandinavian and neutral interiors. They pair easily with upholstered dining chairs and everyday family use.
Walnut and Two-Tone Finishes
Walnut and two-tone styles suit apartments and modern family homes where you want warmth without making the space feel heavy. Extendable formats are common in this finish group.
Marri Timber and Large Spaces
Marri timber and premium timber finishes suit larger dining rooms, formal entertaining areas and homes that need a more substantial table presence. Best suited to 7-piece and 9-piece configurations.
Buying Guide
Buying Guide: Size, Shape, Material and Everyday Use
- Size first: Measure your dining room and allow at least 90 cm around the table for chair movement. Check exact dimensions on each product page.
- Configuration: Choose 5-piece for compact spaces, 7-piece for family homes and 9-piece for larger entertaining areas.
- Shape: Round tables suit narrower rooms and smaller homes. Rectangular tables suit longer rooms and larger households. Extendable tables add flexibility.

WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
