Choosing the Right Dining Table
It wouldn’t be a ‘dining room’ without some sort of a table at the heart of it and picking the centerpiece of your room isn’t easy. Especially when dining tables come in many shapes and sizes, designs and materials. Being spoiled for choice comes with its own advantages too – the wide variety lets you choose the perfect dining table for your needs.
Consider The Space You Have and Your Lifestyle
The ability to show off your cooking skills is intertwined with the ability to seat your guests comfortably at the dinner table. If your household is one that enjoys having guests over regularly, then a large table is a necessity. An expandable table like the Viva Extension Dining Table takes care of any space woes, giving you the flexibility you need without feeling cramped on a day-to-day basis.
The Shape
The shape of the table matters to the vibe you want to create. Round tables radiate the feeling of cozy intimacy, rectangular dinner tables can feel more formal while square tables are perfect for boisterous game nights. Square or round tables are a great fit for smaller spaces as they allow you to move around them comfortably.
Materials
The material of your table plays a significant role in its appearance, durability, and maintenance. Picking the right material ensures your table complements your lifestyle and your budget.
- Wood: Timeless and elegant, solid wood tables like the Oak Otago Oval Table can last a lifetime while veneered wooden tables can give you a similar aesthetic for less.
- Glass: Pick glass dinner tables for a clean and airy feel. But they require regular cleaning to keep them gleaming.
- Metal: A metal table gives an industrial look. Balance it out with soft upholstered chairs and décor for a warm inviting feel.
- Composite Materials: Affordable options like MDF or laminate mimic wood’s look but are less durable – ideal for first homes or evolving styles.
Dining Chairs: Comfort and Style
The perfect dinner table is only as enticing as the chairs around it. Not only do your dining chairs play a functional role when it comes to comfort for you and your guests, they also set the tone and aesthetic of your room. Getting the balance right between style and comfort is key.
It’s All About Comfort:
Ergonomics are vital. Chairs with proper back support and cushioning guarantee comfort during long holiday meals or endless board gaming sessions. Plush fabrics or leather feel luxurious while armrests provide extra relaxation.
Material Matters
The material of your chairs can elevate your decor and add to the appeal.. Wooden chairs exude the timeless elegance needed for a classic look. Metal chairs add an industrial edge while plastic chairs are lightweight and ideal for a modern, minimalist look. If you entertain often or have children and pets choose upholstery made from stain resistant fabric or faux leather like this Alibi Dining Chair.
Dining Benches and Counter Stools
Break free from convention with dining benches, a trendy space saving option that creates a communal feel. Counter stools look stylish in open plan layouts and are perfect for kitchen islands or breakfast nooks where meals are eaten on the run.
Mix and Match
You don’t need to purchase a complete set. You can add personality to the room by mixing different chair styles, colors and materials.
Completing the Look: Additional Dining Room Furniture
Complement your seating and table with practical pieces of furniture like sideboards, buffets, or bookshelves. Stylish sideboards allow you to keep your dinnerware handy while bar carts add an element of fun when serving your guests. Side tables are perfect to display your collectables or to add a splash of color with flower vases. A full bookshelf can make for interest dinner conversations.
Tips for Creating a Functional and Beautiful Dining Room
Once you have the larger pieces of furniture picked out, tie them all together by adding your own unique touch.
