How long does it take?
Most projects like this take 2–4 weeks from approved design to handover, depending on size and the materials chosen. We agree a written schedule before work starts.
How is the cost worked out?
Every project is priced on its own — by the size of the space, the materials and finishes you choose, and the amount of building work involved. After a free consultation we give you an itemised written quote, so you know the full cost before anything starts.
Our dining room design process
Good dining room design is about planning more than decoration. Every KejaPal project follows the same clear steps, so you always know what happens next and what you're paying for.
- Free consultation. We visit your space, or meet on a video call, to understand how you use it, your style and your budget.
- Measure & brief. We take accurate measurements and photos and agree a written brief so nothing is assumed.
- Concept & 3D design. You get a mood board, a layout and 3D renders. We revise until you're happy.
- Fixed written quote. An itemised quote covering materials, labour and timeline — before you commit to anything.
- Build & install. Our own crews and workshop build and install everything, with one project manager reporting to you.
- Handover & aftercare. We snag, style and hand over a clean, finished space, backed by a workmanship warranty.
Dining room design ideas and trends in Kenya
Kenyan clients increasingly want spaces that look premium but are practical for dust, sunshine, power cuts and busy family or business life. These are the dining room design ideas we're designing most often right now:
- Warm minimalism — soft whites, natural timber and linen, with clutter hidden in built-in storage
- Afro-contemporary accents: woven baskets, kikoy textiles and local art against calm walls
- Japandi living rooms with low furniture, oak tones and indirect cove lighting
- Statement TV walls in fluted MDF or stone-effect panels
- Open-plan kitchen and living spaces zoned with rugs, lighting and a dining pendant
We'll help you choose what suits your space and budget rather than follow a trend that dates quickly.
Who our dining room design service is for
We regularly work with families, hosts who entertain often, open-plan homes. Dining spaces made for long family meals and easy entertaining. Whether it's your first project or your tenth, you get the same senior designer, a 3D design and a written quote before work begins.
Dining room design in Nairobi
Our studio works in every part of Nairobi, with recent dining room design projects in Karen, Runda, Lavington, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Westlands, Upper Hill, Lang'ata, South C, Kasarani, Embakasi and Muthaiga. We understand the difference between a Kilimani apartment, a Karen family home and a Westlands office — and design for each accordingly.
Dining room design across Kenya
We also deliver dining room design in Nairobi's satellite towns and every major town in Kenya, including Ruaka, Kiambu, Thika, Ruiru, Kitengela, Syokimau, Rongai, Ngong, Mombasa, Nyali, Diani, Kisumu, Nakuru, Naivasha, Eldoret, Nanyuki, Nyeri, Machakos, Meru, Kakamega, Kisii and Malindi. For projects outside Nairobi we combine site visits with video calls, manufacture in our workshop, then deliver and install with our own team — so you get Nairobi-quality finishes wherever you are. See all areas we serve.
How high should a dining pendant hang?
About 75–85cm above the tabletop gives good light without blocking views.
