Affordable Modern Furniture That Brings a Bit of YOU Into Your Home

Affordable Modern Furniture That Brings a Bit of YOU Into Your Home

Furnishing your home with modern, stylish pieces should be easy and accessible.

"Your home should be a story of who you are and a collection of what you love."

– Nate Berkus

At Daily, our furniture pieces help bring that story to life, bringing your personality into every corner of your home.

In this article, we've highlighted a few of our top pieces and their cross-functionality to inspire you to take charge when creating the perfect space that compliments your personality and lifestyle.

1. Gather The Fam Around The Iyali Dining Table

Cassandra Twala, a renowned interior design expert from Moea Design Studio, advises, "When it comes to key pieces, you are unlikely to go wrong with solid wood. What is important, however, is being tuned into finding a distinctive silhouette. Look at the detailing on the legs, the joints (if visible), the edges, leg room and the feeling of the surface."

The Iyali Dining Table has a unique shape and beautifully designed legs. It features clean lines, a simple style, and strong wooden legs, making it reliable but stylish. It is a showstopper when guests come for dinner, and big enough to host the whole family.

We often refer to the dining room table as a space of gathering for more than just meals.

How to Incorporate the Iyali Dining Table Into Your Modern Home

Your dining room table will likely double or even triple its function with kids doing homework and you occasionally working from home, etc.

Let's see how we can bring multi-function into the space:

  • Choose Multifunctional Chairs: Opt for chairs that double as dining and desk seating. Comfortable options with proper back support ensure you stay cosy.

  • Add Storage Solutions: Keep the area organised with shelving or small cupboards for essentials like board games, work supplies, or dinnerware. Use decorative boxes for smaller items like pens and notepads to maintain a tidy and stylish look.

  • Set the Right Mood with Lighting: Lighting makes all the difference. Install adjustable overhead lights or lamps for focused work sessions. For dinner, a dimmer switch can create a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

  • Make It Tech-Friendly: Stay connected by adding convenient charging points for devices. To reduce echoes during online meetings or calls, incorporate soft furnishings like rugs or curtains to improve sound quality.


2. Sit or Swing With The Dakalo Dining Chairs:

Unless you plan on standing and eating, you need chairs to complement the Iyali Dining Table. Fortune is in your favour because we have pairing chairs. Daily believes you should enjoy the best of both worlds: luxurious comfort and aesthetic appeal.

Dakalo Dining Chairs allow you to create a chic dining space that's comfortable enough for daily use and perfect for entertaining.

According to a Harvard Health study, the average person spends about ten hours a day sitting—which is nearly half the day!

If you spend so much time seated, why not do it in style with the Dakalo Swingback Dining Room Chairs? These chairs offer movement and support, which is ideal for unwinding during mealtime. Their swing-back design makes them comfortable for long dining sessions.

These chairs are available in various colours, from Daybreak White to Midnight Charcoal Black.

3. Pull Out Your Nesting Coffee Tables

Nesting tables, originally known as "quartetto tables," date back to the 18th century. These tables were used for needlepoint, providing organised surfaces for embroidery tools and materials.

Their varying sizes allowed the smaller ones to hold delicate tools and the larger ones to support the fabric and embroidery frame. When not in use, they could be easily stacked together, making them a practical and space-saving choice for households at the time.

This multifunctional design has made nesting tables a popular choice as modern coffee tables, fitting seamlessly into homes with limited space.

Incorporating A Set Of Nesting Tables Into Your Space

Nesting tables fit seamlessly into various rooms and purposes:

  • Living Room: These are used as coffee tables or side tables.

  • Patio: Perfect as serving tables.

  • Bedroom: A stylish alternative to traditional nightstands.

Nesting tables typically include two or three tables of varying sizes that stack together:

  • Ideal for small living spaces, they can be neatly stored when not in use.

  • When extra surface area is needed, simply pull them apart for a more spacious setup.

Available in diverse styles, sizes and finishes:

  • Their varying sizes add depth and dimension to any room.

  • They can complement any interior design, and their functionality and design make them a standout accent piece.



4. Mix Things Up With The Vunyingi Bench

So you have the chairs and dining table. The only piece that needs to be added to complete your dining room set is the Vunyingi Bench. Or better yet, place the Vunyingi Bench in your foyer - you can't go wrong with somewhere to catch your breath after work and take off your shoes.

Designed for families or those who love entertaining, the Vunyingi Bench offers ample seating without overwhelming your living space. Its minimalist design and rustic charm make it a great statement piece for any dining area or foyer.

5. Lounge About With The Duduza Lounger
