Are dining tables necessary?

With so many exciting dining table designs to choose from, why would you not enjoy the comfort and convenience of a multi-functional new dining room table?

A dining table serves both meals and many purposes. Perhaps one of the most important furniture pieces in every Australian household, the dining table is centred amidst many of life’s valuable moments, including:

  • Breakfast with the kids
  • Lively dinner parties
  • Candlelit dinners for two
  • Good news announcements
  • Family meals
  • Family meetings or discussions
  • Homework projects
  • Hobbies, arts and crafts

How to choose the right dining table?

When choosing the perfect dining table for your home, consider size, shape and design based on the size and shape of the dining area and the home decor style. Alternatively choose a dining table with chairs package for an easy solution.

Size

A tape measure is your best friend when it’s time to buy a dining table. Measure the space available within the dining area, and remember to allow enough clearance for dining chairs, armchairs, and people to move around with the chairs pulled out.

If the dining table is too big for the space it will be awkward and make the room appear smaller. So don’t opt for a large 10 seater dining table set if you don’t have the home to match!

Conversely, if you choose a dining table too small for the space it will look lost and insignificant, and if it is too small for your requirements meal times will be cramped and unpleasant.

Shape

Regardless of whether your home has an open plan dining area or a formal dining room, consider:

  1. Square dining tables work best in square dining rooms or big open plan spaces. 8 seater dining tables are often square, and a great option for entertaining as they provide an inclusive space for easy conversation and room for serving plates.
  2. Round dining tables also create a welcoming ambience in any shaped dining area, including square rooms. The centre table space allows easy access for ‘help yourself’ meals with family or guests, while the lack of corners makes them a safe choice for homes with young children. Small round tables can be excellent space savers too.
  3. Rectangular dining tables are possibly the most common and the usual shape for 6 seater dining tables in both open plan living areas and formal dining rooms. Rectangular dining tables can be quite small and unobtrusive or very large for use in big dining rooms or large open plan areas. Extendable dining tables are an adaptable solution.

Design

The modern dining table design options at Amart Furniture include:

  • Marble dining tables create the perfect look and feel in luxury homes. If solid marble dining tables are beyond your budget try tables with sophisticated marble-look finishes.
  • Designed to match black lounge room furniture, black dining tables such as the Alvarado round black dining table are popular choices for modern homes.
  • Glass dining tables with round tops and timber legs are currently on trrend, with the option to include matching glass top coffee tables for a cohesive look.
  • As popular as black dining tables, white dining tables match contemporary lounge and dining room storage furniture but are best suited to homes without young children. The look is fresh, light and crisp.
  • Timber dining tables have long stood the test of time and offer many years of quality dining. Oak dining tables along with oak flooring are a popular choice, their light colour palette working well with Scandi and Hamptons style decors.

How do you have a dining table in a small apartment?

If you’re pushed for space in cosy apartments or units there are endless small dining tables available in the extensive range online and at your local Amart Furniture store. Consider:

  • Small round dining tables for the dining nook.
  • Two-seater chair and table sets can be placed against a wall.
  • Glass dining tables will create a sense of space and openness.
  • Use an adaptable extension dining table
  • Choose lighter mango wood furniture and homewares

What is the standard height of a dining table?

Dining table heights vary slightly between 74cm and 76cm in Australia. If you are buying a new dining table but keeping your existing chairs, check that the height of the chairs will fit comfortably beneath your new dining table when in use. Make sure to measure dining furniture and your dining space prior to purchasing a dining table or chairs.

How to decorate a dining table?

Everyday dining table decorations include:

  • real and faux pots for plants,
  • big vases of fresh or artificial flowers,
  • clusters of two or three candelabras,
  • collections of bowls and vessels in varying sizes.

The art is in grouping objects together that complement each other and fuse with the colours and materials in the rest of your decor.
