How to Choose the Right Dining Table

Choosing the perfect dining table involves more than just finding a design you love. Consider these key factors to ensure your new table suits both your space and lifestyle.

1. Size

Your dining table should be appropriately sized for the space you have. Whether you need a table for 2-4 people or a 6-8 seater for a larger dining room, make sure to measure your area and leave enough room for chairs to move comfortably. If you want flexibility, opt for extendable tables that can expand when guests arrive and save space when not in use.

2. Style

The dining table’s design should align with your home’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer the clean lines of modern design, the warmth of rustic style, or the minimalism of Scandinavian décor, choose a table that complements your interiors. If you're into mixing and matching, don’t hesitate to blend different table and chair styles for a unique, personalised look.

3. Material

The material of your table affects both its durability and maintenance. Wooden tables offer timeless charm, while glass and marble tables bring a modern, elegant touch. For something durable and low-maintenance, stone tables—especially sintered stone—are a great choice as they resist heat, scratches, and stains, making them perfect for busy households.

4. Functionality

If you need more than just a dining surface, consider multifunctional options. Extendable tables are ideal for those who host often, and heat and scratch-resistant surfaces like sintered stone can double as worktops for meal prep.

5. Shape

The shape of your table can influence the overall flow and interaction in your dining area. Rectangular tables are a great fit for both compact and spacious rooms, while round or oval tables foster a more intimate setting, encouraging conversation. For added flexibility, consider a round table that extends into a rectangular shape.

Care Tips for Maintaining Your Dining Table

To keep your dining table looking beautiful and functional, regular maintenance is key. Different materials react to spills and wear in various ways, with some being more porous and prone to staining. Materials like wood, stone, and marble can absorb liquids easily, so it’s essential to take preventive measures like using coasters or adding a protective glass top. You can also choose tables treated to be non-porous to avoid potential damage.

In addition to porosity, durability varies by material. For instance, wood tends to be more delicate than harder surfaces like granite or concrete. Wooden tables benefit from regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional use of a wood cleaner to preserve their finish. Marble surfaces require gentle cleaning with non-acidic solutions to avoid damage, while glass tables should be cleaned with specialised glass cleaner to remove smudges. Proper care ensures your dining table remains in excellent condition for years to come.
