HOW TO CHOOSE THE DINING ROOM TABLE?

When furnishing this space, let yourself be guided by your tastes when choosing furniture. The objective is to transmit personality and a lot of charm . For this, the materials and the finish itself play a relevant role, but before deciding on a specific model, it is important that you take into account the available space. It will depend on whether you achieve a comfortable and welcoming environment, especially if you want to work in a kitchen with an integrated dining room .

Straight lines and the minimalist concept in general are assuming a certain prominence on the tables. Therefore, before choosing one you have to consider carefully what you want and what aesthetic approach you intend to apply. Of course, harmony must be maintained with the rest of the furniture. For industrial environments, choose a table with a wooden top and metal legs and combine chairs of different models. And if you prefer a Nordic dining room, go for white, wood and very
clean lines.

The combination of materials is something that may interest you. Wooden tables are taking on a certain role and are recommended for dining room decoration. Furthermore, the modern line is the one that is acquiring the greatest presence in homes . In this sense, we can direct the aesthetics towards a more updated aspect and thus offer a more youthful atmosphere. The idea is that you can have a cozy dining room where you feel comfortable.

How to decor a dining table 


DESIGN OF A DINING ROOM: MEASUREMENTS AND DINERS

Is your dining room not very big? Choose a square table that measures at least 150 cm on a side. The ideal is an extendable model that allows you to expand the capacity of your dining room when you have more guests. Round designs are another good option because they also encourage conversation during lunches and dinners. For four people, it should ideally measure 120 cm in diameter. In the same way you can arrange beautiful and original chairs .

If the shortage of meters is not a problem
 and you like to organize events with many diners, choose an oval or rectangular model, with capacity for between 6 and 10 people. Regardless of the shape, remember that around any table there should be a free space of 80-90 cm so that you can move around without difficulties, especially if you want to design a Nordic-style living-dining room .

In short, to decorate a dining room and achieve a comfortable, youthful and modern design , a first observation of the decorative set of your home is recommended; From there, you can choose the most functional furniture that best fits the desired decorative line to definitely get the decoration right. So that you can be inspired, we have prepared a selection of dining rooms that... You are going to love them!

INDUSTRIAL LOOK

industrial style dining roomGETTY IMAGES

This dining room is full of good decorative ideas. The rectangular table, with a large solid top, is not excessive to the eye, thanks to its two metal bases: its blue-gray color blends very well with the color of the floor. A storage point has been created on the wall with a piece that does not compete for prominence and allows the chairs to be moved, respecting the passage areas. Just enough to have your daily utensils on hand.

  • Wood and metal chairs. Mixing seats has allowed us to create an original composition: we have played with industrial-style models in two opposite tones, mint and black, and also with rustic chairs. The design of the table in wood and metal unifies the whole.
  • Extra large lamps. Two light points have been arranged in a line to avoid shadow areas. What a great idea!

A light dining room

Nordic style dining room in white and woodBANAK

Taking advantage of the area next to the window, to make a corner where you can eat daily without the living room becoming cluttered, was the objective in the dining room in this image. It was achieved with this proposal from the Banak firm. A round table fits well into the space and makes it easier to arrange the chairs around it (they are designs without armrests to take up less space). The wall has been used to put a white sideboard with glass doors that lighten the piece.

  • Round table. The table without corners clears the passage areas. Ideally, it should be 90-100 cm in diameter.
  • Create movement with color. The light wood of the base of the table and chairs, the taupe color of the upholstery and the tan tone of the carpet have been used to create a warm "color code" that looks luxurious and contrasts with the white. A range that adds light and calm.

A rustic dining room with a lot of charm

Creating a set with very personal pieces and with solid wood as the king material was the key to the dining room in this image. It was shaped by this proposal from Affari. A rectangular table made of untreated wood makes the most of the elongated floor plan of the room. The rustic bench limits it on one side (the seat is about 45 cm high). The set is completed with fiber armchairs. This is a great asymmetrical composition.

The combination of finishes and worked textiles make the decoration very rich and very natural. From the braided fabric seat, to the natural fibers of the accessories and the carpet, the terracotta of the floor and the candle holders.

Wood and white with a mix of style

In a dining room with meters counted like this one, we have sought to play with the minimum. The set, from Car-Möbel, adapts to the space with a round solid wood table: this leaves space for three seats. A model with central legs has been chosen, the most comfortable (if it is an extendable board more people can eat) and very light chairs. The window sill is an ideal mini corner for books.

The white color in different planes acts as a common thread in the whole and makes it appear larger. From the smooth painted walls, to the soft aged finish of the floor and the chairs themselves, with their white structure and frame. The paintings are the main color notes and make the dining room a living place.

All to the white

If the dining room has a window and you also opt for white as the main color, you will make your dining room illuminate naturally. Light tones always achieve that effect, but white is the most powerful in effect. Notice here how it predominates on the walls, on the floor and on the chairs, with covers. The natural wood table and the metal lamps put the finishing touch to a perfect set. Everything from Ikea.

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE

The decoration of the dining room should be in line with the rest of the house. Furthermore, if it shares space with the living room , it is better to follow the same decorative line. If you like the rustic style, choose a wooden table, fiber rug and a restored cupboard.

Crockery. The final touch to the dining room will be the plates, dishes, glassware...

THE TABLE IS THE PROTAGONIST

The table is the star piece of the dining room. The choice of one model or another will be determined by the dimensions of the space, family needs and its decorative value. For mini spaces, the most suitable are square ones, since they make better use of space. The extendable ones are also very useful, since they allow you to gain seats if desired. When space is not a problem, round, oval and rectangular ones are best.

Respect the distances. In general, each diner needs about 60 cm wide and about 40 cm deep. For a rectangular table with 4 seats, the measurements will be 120x80 cm. At round tables, the distances are reduced, so
one for 4 people must be about 90 cm in diameter. Add between 15 and 20 cm more for each one. Leave at least 90 cm of distance between the table and the nearest wall or piece of furniture.

Made of wood and with a display case

Once the table has been chosen, it is time to choose the furniture and accessories to set up the dining room. If you have the space, opt for a sideboard or a cupboard with a display case , like this one from Maisons du Monde. In it you can store and have at hand the dishes, glassware, cutlery and table linens. A rug provides warmth and personality. It will look great if it protrudes at least 70 cm from each side of the table. Paintings, photos, pots, mirrors, candles... will fill the entire room with life.

Chairs represent a significant outlay, which is why it is necessary to choose resistant materials and a design that you fall in love with. Not all of them have to be the same, but the whole has to be harmonious. You can combine leather chairs with metal ones or mix plastic models with wood. In the variety is the spice.

Well dressed dining room

You will get the touch of color in the dining rooms with textiles. Place light, thin curtains that let in natural light . Choose tablecloths in bright colors for family meals, and white and beige tones for more formal gatherings. If you have a bench, fill it with cushions, preferably washable, especially if there are children.

Correct lighting is essential to see the food on the table well and to help you create a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Place a hanging lamp on the table at a distance of at least 70 cm and centered; You will avoid annoying shadows. For table settings, indirect lights directed towards the wall or ceiling. Choose warm light bulbs such as halogen ones, avoiding fluorescent ones because they generate a very cold light.

Blue, white, wood, botanical prints and checkered floor...

What a totum revolutum! However, it looks most cheerful in this dining room that goes well in both an urban house and a country house. The floor is a focal point and element that energizes the entire space. It matches the color of the walls and the skirting board, as well as the furniture and accessories. The height of the ceiling and the white paint allow the paintings not to "invade" everything. To break up an excess of "pastel" color, the wood tone of some elements has also been introduced, which balances and lightens the atmosphere.
