A Dining Table for Every Occasion For Your Edmonton, AB Home
The dining table is an important piece of furniture, becausea the act of sitting down to eat together is more than just a time honoured tradition. Eating around the table brings family members together, creates memories with friends, and is the perfect way to entertain guests. Having the right dining room table gives you a practical place to set dishes while you eat, and it enhances the look of your dining room. The variety of dining room tables is substantial, so choosing between dining room table styles can be daunting. Here are some factors to consider when you’re contemplating different types of dining room tables.
- What table material do you prefer? There are many different types of materials used to make dining tables, including wood, stone, metal, and glass. Which is the right material for you? It depends on your personal aesthetic, your lifestyle, and how much you are willing to spend on a table. Think about the way your table will be used, and how durable you will need it to be. A glass-top table can be beautiful, but if you have little children, you may find that you are constantly cleaning it. A marble table can be elegant and striking, but if the rest of your décor is casual, it can look out of place. Wooden tables are popular because they are versatile and easy to maintain. An extendable wooden dining table, for instance, can easily seat a small group or a crowd, with a simple adjustment, making it perfect if you regularly entertain or have a large family.
- Consider the different types of tables. Furniture for eating may be a formal dining room set, or it could be any of the various types of kitchen tables. A double pedestal table, for instance, can seat up to 12 people when fully extended, and lends your dining room a formal look. A single pedestal is more suited for a eat-in kitchen or breakfast nook, because its design allows chairs to be pushed flush to the table, which is a space saver. Leg tables are the most popular, and some can expand to more than 20 feet, with a fifth leg under the leaf for stability. Trestle tables were the first known tables made specifically for dining, and they have a strength and stability that surpasses most other kitchen and dining room tables. Trestle tables often have geared slides to allow the table to slide apart for expansion while the trestle remains in place. Expansion just means making the table large with a leaf, and there are many ways to accomplish this. Butterfly leaf tables have leaves that fold and are inserted under the closed tabletop, so that they are completely self-contained. Pull-out console tables are contained in a cabinet that looks like a sideboard, while refectory tables expand from each end and drop leaf tables have leaves that go up and down to make the table larger or smaller.
- Dining room tables come in many different styles. Dining room tables design varies as much as styles of sofas or armoires.
- Arts and crafts style tables have a simple, utilitarian design.
- Traditional tables are rooted in European sensibilities and feature classic styling and symmetry.
- Farmhouse tables are hardworking pieces with a rustic elegance.
- Mission tables represent integrity of construction and emphasize natural materials.
- Shaker tables embrace the Shaker values of plainness, practicality, and pride, with clean lines, tapered legs, and minimalist designs.
- Queen Anne tables are intricately elegant, with cabriole legs, pad or drake feet, and fiddle-backed chairs.
- Contemporary tables have clean, simple, uncomplicated lines for a fresh appearance.
- French Country tables have an overarching farmhouse style, inspired by furniture popular in the French provinces during the 17th and 18th
