More about Kitchen & Dining Room Tables

A comfy place to sit and eat is essential to any home, which is why the dining table plays such a crucial role when determining the style of your space. Before you settle on a certain aesthetic, there are many more practical things to consider. Don’t get us wrong, style is crucial when it comes to design, but it’s also important to think of all the ways you plan on using this essential piece on a day-to day-basis.

First off, consider how you use your space: do you rarely eat at the table but need a place for intimate dinners and working on your home business? Are you a fantastic chef who loves to host a big group of friends for a multi-course feast? Having these issues in mind will determine what kind of table is best suited to your lifestyle. Round tables encourage conversation and offer more clearance space surrounding them—great for smaller or irregularly shaped spaces. Rectangular and square tables will usually provide more seating and can be good for tucking away into corners if needed. Instead of buying a set of chairs, consider mixing up different styles of seating from mid-century to more modern for an eclectic look that brings a dose of playful style.

Finally, what material you choose also plays an important role in the look and feel of your dining room. Wood is warm and wonderful but will also retain scuffs and scratches, so if you’re prone to damage you may want to consider a harder surface like marble or glass. It’s imperative to find the right surface to suit your needs so that you can bring home a table that will work for your lifestyle for many years to come.
