The right dining room table can enhance the entire dining experience, while the right kitchen table can transform a kitchen into a warm space for the family to gather around. You can opt for a set complete with dining chairs or you can get them separately. Here are some tips to choose the dining tables for your home. Position Choose a kitchen table based on where you will position it and the size of the room. If you want to create a breakfast nook in your kitchen, choose a small square table that will fit in a small space. If you have a modestly-sized kitchen, opt for pedestal tables, as they don’t take up much floor space. A big dining room table can overwhelm the dining space. Measure the dining room carefully before deciding upon the dimensions of the table. Leave about 35 to 40 inches around the perimeter of the table so you can comfortably move around the dining room. Size Choose a dining room table depending on what you will use it for. A square table doesn’t occupy much space and can seat two to four people, so it makes a good kitchen table. A large rectangle table is a must if you frequently host dinner parties, and is a perfect dining room table as it accommodates many people. You can also consider a drop leaf or an extendable dining table. It’s a practical option, as you can extend it when you have guests over and keep it stored otherwise. Examine the joints and hinges carefully before you opt for a drop leaf table. Choose a table that can be smoothly extended and stored. Design Opt for a kitchen table with storage drawers and shelves. The practical design lets you store flatware and table linens where it’s easily accessible. A round dining room table can seat six to seven people and promote conversation among your dinner guests. There are many choices when it comes to table surface. You can choose from glass topped and marble topped table. A distressed wood finish is beautiful and complements any decor style. Choose a table based on the size of the room, decor style of your home and number of people you want to seat.
