Today we will provide you with some important advice and suggestions that will help you choose the best table. We will also help you to answer questions such as: which form of table occupies less space? Or how to choose the colour of the table?
Here is everything you need to know before choosing a table for your dining room or kitchen.
The table represents an indispensable furnishing element for the space of a dining room or kitchen. Unlike all the other furniture in the house, the table is a piece of furniture capable of giving an environment great comfort and harmony.
The table represents in a certain sense the nerve centre of the dining room, around which most of the moments spent in this domestic environment take place.
For this reason the choice of the most suitable table for one's needs and requirements must in no way be made superficially.
When choosing a table to be placed inside the dining room or the kitchen, one of the first aspects you should consider is the shape of the furniture. Below is a summary of the main forms of dining table available on the market:
Once you have identified the shape of the dining table you want to set up in your space, you will need to think about which production material you prefer. The choice of production material is often underestimated: if you are looking for an important dining table, or in any case if your choice is focused on elegant tables for your dining room, solid wood could be the right solution for you. Alternatively you can opt for a glass table for your dining room.
If you have children at home, you will need to consider other aspects in addition to design and elegance. In this case it will be advisable to choose a table model made with the most resistant materials possible. Fortunately, nowadays tables are produced and marketed that have undergone special treatments that make the furniture particularly resistant and long-lasting.
If, on the other hand, you do not use the dining table very often, you can opt for a less resistant material such as glass or other types of delicate materials for which particular attention is required during cleaning and maintenance.
A fundamental element in the choice of dining table is the size factor. In this regard, it will be inevitable to refer to the space that you will have available in your rooms: it is essential to choose a piece of furniture able to integrate harmoniously into your environment, without creating hindrances and ensuring maximum comfort to diners.
Sometimes it will be necessary in a particularly narrow environment to choose a small dining table; on the contrary, in a space characterized by a large size it will be possible to prepare a large table with classic dining room chairs.
In any case, always pay the utmost attention to the size of the room in which you are going to prepare the table: for a comfortable furnishing you will necessarily have to leave about 60 centimetres of space between each chair: for a dining table with 6 guests you will have to have a table 150 centimetres long and 80 centimetres wide. The space around the table must be at least 70 centimetres.
As far as the location and positioning of the dining table is concerned, our advice is first of all to delimit the area in which the furniture will have to be arranged: for this purpose you can use a rug or identify and customize the area with the help of a painting, or why not a plan.
When preparing a dining table the important thing is to give personality to the chosen area, so that you and your guests do not feel as if you are sitting in a random area without personality. All you need to do is to arrange some strategic furnishing accessories in the chosen area, in order to warm up the room and make it more intimate and comfortable.
In case the space in your living room is particularly small, in this case you will have to pay particular attention when placing the seats next to the furniture, without hindering in any way the transit.
Once the advice and indications phase has been completed, here are some further suggestions for choosing the perfect table, with reference to specific products that represent the non plus ultra in terms of style, class and functionality.
