How to choose a dining table?

How to choose a perfect dining table for our living room or our kitchen? Which aspects do you need to evaluate and consider in order to choose a functional, comfortable and functional furniture that meets your stylistic and aesthetic tastes?

Here are some important suggestions that will help you to orientate yourself in choosing a dining table that will satisfy all your needs.

Better round or oval table

The dining table represents an indispensable and indispensable piece of furniture for every living environment: the importance of the dining table is not only identified with the function of the furniture, i.e. to host family lunches and dinners (eating table), but also with the aspect of design and style. The dining table is a piece of furniture that can greatly enhance the style of a domestic environment.

As for the shape of your dining table, there are still many people who love the classic living room with a round table. The round table, just like tables with other shapes, certainly has its merits but also its defects. If you do not know how to decide on the shape of your dining table, you should know that the market today also offers you many models of square table that becomes round or half round table.

Generally speaking, we can say that there is no better shape to prefer when choosing this furniture: the choice of the most suitable shape for your needs will depend on a number of factors. Generally speaking, the choice of the most suitable dining table shape will depend on the conformation of the room in which you are going to prepare the furniture. In any case, the rule to follow is to leave a space of at least 70, 80 centimetres around the table: in this way you will be able to move around the furniture with the maximum ease, avoiding making any movement difficult.

tavolo ovale o tondo

If you prefer a rectangular table to a round or oval table, in this case you can opt for a standard model table with a number of 6 covers and a length of about 140 centimetres. If you need two more covers (8 covers in total) you can decide to add another twenty centimetres of space to the table with an extension leaf, thus obtaining a 160 centimetre table. The rectangular table that widens represents a piece of furniture characterized in recent years by a remarkable commercial success. The extendable table is undoubtedly a particularly advantageous choice, if you love to have guests and you find yourself often and willingly adding a place at the table.

The choice of a bar table is also very trendy and fashionable, equipped with special stools on which to sit to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner with family or friends in total relaxation. Also in this case the bar table represents a particularly good choice for those who often have guests for lunch or dinner.

Best material for the kitchen table

materiali tavolo

When choosing your kitchen or living room table you should also pay attention to the material with which the furniture is made. Also in this case you can choose from a wide range of materials. It is good to underline how the choice of the material that composes the table to be placed in one's own rooms is able to have a considerable impact on them, defining their character in a certain way. For example, a wooden table is able to give warmth and hospitality to a space, while a glass table is more suitable for young and modern environments where you do not want to darken a room too much.

In addition to wood and glass there are many other solutions that you can consider. The market today offers you a lot of dining tables made of PVC. Some of these tables are really very good and able to reach high quality standards. Pvc tables are also characterized by reduced costs and an absolutely relative weight, which allows you to move around in everyday life.

Finally, metal tables represent the ideal furnishing solution for those who are fascinated by the charm of wrought iron or brass. Metal tables are often and willingly combined with tempered glass, achieving visual effects of considerable impact.

Style and design of a dining table

Once you have defined the shape and material of the table to be prepared in your rooms, you will only have to evaluate the style that distinguishes the furniture. In this regard, a universe of solutions and possibilities will open up. Always remember that the important thing when choosing a dining table is not the style of the table itself, but how it can be combined with your furniture and integrate in a congenial way into your spaces.

To give you a few examples, an ivory or white table is particularly suitable to assume a certain personality and to be noticed in an environment characterized by a contemporary style or even in an environment furnished and conceived in Scandinavian style (link article Scandinavian style).

In more lively, young and sparkling environments, it is better to avoid choosing a table that is too rustic, unless you want to use this furniture to create a particularly interesting stylistic contrast as in the case of the industrial style.

How much does a dining table cost

Let's come to the most painful element: the cost of dining tables. Just as for all the furnishing elements of a house, the costs for the dining table are influenced by various factors, which in turn are conditioned by the different needs of each person. To understand how the price of a dining table can be variable, just think that the cheapest or the cheapest tables can have a cost that varies approximately from 60 to 200 Euro. This is the cost of cheap tables with 4, 6 seats.

As far as design and so to speak more exclusive dining table models are concerned, the costs can easily reach 1000 Euro and more.
