Your dining table is a focal point of the room, both table and accompanying dining chairs should reflect your personal style. Living Edge is here to help create a setting that complements your style while also adding visual interest to any space.
When choosing the right dining setting, the first point to consider is its intended use. Are you someone who hosts large gatherings? Or is it more of a family dinner setting? Does it also double as a work from home space or do the kids use the space for homework? Along with functionality, the size of the room with dictate the size of the table. Lastly the material choice must be taken into consideration to coincide with the overall aesthetic of the home.
Before anything else, measure the available space in your dining area. Consider both the length and width, as well as the distance between the table and walls or other furniture. This ensures you select a table that fits well without overcrowding the room. Your dining table should harmonise with the rest of your furniture and decor. Consider the materials, finishes, and colours of other pieces in the room to ensure they complement each other. Each material has its own aesthetic appeal and maintenance requirements.
