5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dining Table for Your Home

Read these 5 tips before hitting up the online furniture stores

1. Choose round top tables for square rooms or small dining areas

Every dining space is different. Whether you have an open plan meals area, or a separate dining room it is best to buy a designer dining table to compliment the size and shape of the room. Round top dining tables offer the advantage of having no corners, keeping diners and guests well included while seated. In a long room, round dining tables tend to give the illusion of less space. For small dining areas, choosing a round top designer dining table online will allow a better flow.

2. Decide which table top will best suit your home before searching online

With everchanging ranges of designer dining tables available to buy online, it is easy to be captivated by styles that aren’t ideal for your day to day needs. Wooden top tables offer timeless appeal and usually tie in well with any architectural style. Keep in mind that solid wood dining tables can add weight to the room and should be paired well with any other wooden furniture to avoid clashing. Laminate or veneer table tops are a great practical option for modern homes; this is why the Eames replica dining table is always so highly sought after and on trend. It is worth considering glass dining tables if you want to create a feeling of space and modern elegance. Glass is quick and easy to clean, with no risk of staining but can pose a danger hazard to toddlers and young children. 

3. Consider your flooring when buying a dining table online

Flooring is often overlooked during the decision-making process, but it is a key factor in choosing the perfect dining table for your home. Concrete floors are a neutral foundation which can compliment any type of dining table; wooden top dining tables work beautifully against concrete. On gloss tiled flooring, it is recommended to choose a wooden top or veneer dining table to add warmth to the room. On floorboards, wooden top tables can clash easily so you should consider a glass top dining table or material other than wood.

4. What comes first – Chairs or table?

If you are looking to buy a whole new dining set, the options are endless. A good designer furniture supplier may even recommend complimentary chairs and tables for flawless styling. If you already have dining chairs, it is important to pair them with the right dining table. Dining tables are almost always neutral in colour to make chair matching easy.

5. Quality and price should both be nice

There are plenty of replica designer dining tables online, so finding the cheapest option may see you settle on quality. You can in fact buy designer dining tables online which are both well priced and well crafted. SK Designer Living sell a beautiful range of tables to suit every budget and style.
