HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT DINING TABLE FOR YOUR HOME

 A dining table is more than just a piece of furniture—it's the heart of your home. It's where your family gathers for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. It's a place for sharing stories, laughter, and important moments. Whether it's where the kids do their homework or where you enjoy a quiet coffee with the morning paper, the dining table is often the centerpiece of daily life. At RedTree Furniture, we understand how important it is to choose the perfect dining table, and we’re here to help guide you through the process.

What Size Dining Table Do I Need?

Before you start shopping, ask yourself a few key questions: How many people will regularly sit at the table? Do you often host guests? And, most importantly, how large is your dining area? Answering these questions will help you determine the ideal size for your dining table.

To avoid a cramped dining space, allow approximately 110cm-120cm between the wall and your dining table. This distance provides enough room for chairs and ensures easy movement around the table. If there’s already furniture in the room, maintain the same distance between the table and other pieces.

As a general rule, aim for a dining table with a width of at least 100cm. This will provide enough space for plates, cutlery, and other table settings, ensuring each guest has room to enjoy their meal comfortably.

If your family regularly sits 4 or 5 at the table but you occasionally host larger gatherings, consider an extendable table. These tables remain compact for everyday use but can expand when you need extra seating. At RedTree Furniture, we offer a wide selection of extendable rectangular and oval tables, perfect for hosting holiday dinners or weekend get-togethers.

What Shape Dining Table Should I Choose?

Dining tables come in a variety of shapes, each bringing its own advantages. At RedTree Furniture, we offer an extensive range of rectangular, circular, and oval tables to suit any space.

  • Rectangular tables: The classic choice, rectangular tables are perfect for long, narrow rooms or larger dining areas. Their clean lines add structure to a room and can accommodate a variety of seating arrangements.

  • Round tables: Ideal for creating a more intimate dining experience, round tables bring everyone closer together, making conversation easy and enjoyable. Just remember, round tables require a bit more space, so make sure your room can comfortably accommodate one.

For a foolproof way to visualize how a table will fit in your space, try cutting out a cardboard template in the size and shape of your desired table. Place it in your dining area to get a feel for how it will work in the room before making your final decision.

What Style Dining Table Suits My Home?

Choosing the right style is crucial to ensure your new dining table complements your home’s décor and existing furniture. The dining table often pulls the whole room together, so it’s important to find one that fits your style.

At RedTree Furniture, we’ve crafted a variety of tables to suit different tastes. We offers sleek, modern designs with smooth finishes, perfect for contemporary homes.

From farmhouse styles to modern dining tables, round to oval, extendable to non-extendable, we pay attention to every detail in our designs to help you find the perfect centerpiece for your kitchen or dining room. Remember, a dining table is an investment. Take your time, consider your options, and choose the piece that will become the heart of your home for years to come.
