4 Questions to Help You Choose the Best Dining Room Table

What's Your Dining Room Table Style?

A good dining room table should last at least 10 years. A well-built table can last even longer. Because you'll be living with your table for a while, it's important to choose a style that you love.

Some of the top dining room table styles are: 

Farm Style

Farm style is casual, warm and inviting. People feel comfortable with the laid-back feel of a farm-style room. Farm style tables reflect this level of comfort and ease. Most are made of wood. They’re often left unfinished or simply stained for a more rustic effect. They have simple lines and tend to be rectangular in shape. To add color, sometimes the legs and skirt of the table are painted, while the tabletop is left with its original wood finish. Scratches, dents and an uneven finish give farm-style dining room tables the well-loved look that so many people desire. Complement this casual style with a bench or dress up the look with slipcovered chairs.

Traditional Style

Traditional style is formal and elegant. Tables in this style are made from dark woods such as walnut and cherry, have turned legs, decorative moulding and feature pedestal legs or traditional corner legs. Traditional tables often come with matching chairs.

Modern Style

Modern style has simple, clean lines. Modern tables emphasize horizonal and vertical lines and have very little carving or adornment. They also feature natural, modern materials such as steel legs and stone and glass tabletops.

Retro Style

Retro style is a nostalgic throwback to past styles that were popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Retro wood tables are usually made of cherry, teak and walnut. Laminate tables are another type of retro table style. These tables bring diners and classic cars to mind. Available in bright colors like yellow, red and blue, they have laminate tops and chrome-plated steel legs. The chairs often match the table’s bright hues. A laminate tabletop may feature geometric patterns. Retro tables add playfulness to your dining decor. 

Regardless of the style of table you choose, you’ll also have to select a table shape. Rectangular, square, round and oval are standard dining room table shapes. If you need extra table space for entertaining guests, look for a table that has an extension leaf that can be popped in when needed.
