A Buyer’s Guide to The Right Dining Table

A well-designed dining room is the focal point of your home. Arguably the star of this space is the dining table. Whether it is positioned in the middle of a formal dining room or centered in an open kitchen, the dining table is a gathering spot for family and friends. But beyond being a standout furniture piece, the dining table needs to be well crafted and strong, comfortably accommodating people, and versatile in shapes and sizes. Having said that, here are a few things you need to keep in mind when shopping for dining tables.

The size of the Dining Room

The most important aspect to consider when choosing furniture for your home is the availability of space. Therefore, you must start by inspecting the size of your dining room or the open kitchen where you will place your dining set. Anne Quinn Furniture has a bevy of options that should fit the size of the room. This will help you decide the dimensions of the dining table you need. Ideally, the distance between the wall and your dining table set should be around three feet. This measurement is important as it will allow enough space for everyone to move their chair and enough space while walking around the dining area.

The style of the Dining Room

Another aspect to consider when you are going to buy dining table and chairs Newcastle, or wherever you are in the world, is the style of the dining room. Depending on the style of the house, go for the dining table that complements the style of your dining area. Whether it’s contemporary, traditional, rustic or an industrial setting, choose a dining table that reflects your surroundings. There are a number of dining table styles that can go together with your existing interiors.

Period-Style – Pieces with unique elements like curved embellishments, shaped aprons, and curved legs
Modern Style – Modern dining tables come with clean-lined forms made from glass, wood or metal
Country Style – Traditional, heavy dining tables with exposed wooden surfaces
Industrial Style – Simple, wood and metal dining tables

The Perfect Shape

The size of the dining area/ room does have a say in the shape of dining table you pick. Settle on a shape that will work in most rooms. If you have a small space or a dining area that has a square dining zone, a round dining table will keep the space from looking cramped. You can also go for a triangular-shaped dining table. They offer flexible seating.

On the other hand, rectangular dining tables are more ideal for formal spaces and have limited seating spots due to the position of the table legs.

The Right Material and Finishes

The maintenance of the dining table, in the long run, depends upon the material you pick. You must consider picking high-quality, durable material.

If you want to go for a wooden dining table, always opt for hardwood such as walnut, mahogany, maple, oak, or teak, rather than opting for composite wood. On the other hand, a dining table with glass top may work well with many decor themes. And because it has a reflective surface, it is an ideal choice for a space that might need a lighter and brighter feel to it. Glass dining tables are tough too, they are made with tempered safety glass which is extremely easy to clean.

The Type of Usage

Before picking the dining table for your dining space, you need to consider how you use your dining table. For example, if you and your family use the dining table very often, pick sturdy, medium to large-sized tables that are made of high-quality materials. However, if you don’t use your dining table frequently, you can opt for more decorative finishes.

The Type of Seating

Most of the people think that the best way to pick a dining chair for the table is to purchase the entire set together or select chairs that match the table perfectly. But with the changing times, the eclectic style to mix and match is becoming more popular. You can experiment with shapes and colors to add a dash of exclusivity to your dining room. Also, you can mix and match the seating options by picking both benches and chairs for your dining table.

So, what are you waiting for? Give your dining room a facelift with these handy tips on looking for the best dining tables!
