Follow these steps to choose the right dining room table for your home:
Step 1: Measure Your Space
The first thing to do when you shop for a dining room table is to measure the space where you will place it. There is no sense falling in love with a dining table that won't fit. The dimensions of your dining space will determine the size and shape of your dining table. Take windows and doors into consideration and leave enough space for chairs and other furniture like buffets and china cabinets.
Step 2: Shop for the Right Size
Now figure out the size of the table that will fit. If you have a small space, you can find round or square tables that seat up to four people. Small round tables that seat two to four people are typically 36" - 44" in diameter, and 36" - 44" per side for square tables. If you have more space, you can choose tables up to 120" long to seat up to twelve people. You can have the best of both worlds with an expandable table that suits your family on most days and can be extended when company arrives.
Step 3: Choose a Shape
Long rectangular dining tables are perfect for entertaining friends and family to enjoy happy occasions. Like rectangular tables, oval tables can seat a large number of people. For a smaller space and for families with young children, choose a round table without sharp corners that keep diners closer. Square tables, including high tops, also offer a cozy dining experience and they are perfect for square shaped rooms.
Step 4: Find the Right Style
Just like furniture for every other room, dining furniture comes in a wide range of styles. Today's modern dining furniture features straight lines and often feature glass and metal. For a classic dining table, choose a traditional style. Traditional dining tables usually come wood and offer details like carvings and interesting turned legs. Families with young children and those who want a more rustic vibe can find Farmhouse dining furniture with distressed wood finishes.
