Dining Room Tables – Dining In With Style

February 21, 2012

I have realized my dining room table is too small; too small to host a dinner party I am planning for this weekend. I am contemplating a new dining table but am severely limited by my small room. Although I have limitations, I don’t want to compromise style and function. Things I am considering for a new table are durability, size, shape and colour. Like most houses these days, mine does not have room for a kitchen and dining room table. Instead I have space for one eating table which enhances the need for functionality.  WIll the table offer extra seating for more guests? Will it be a classic design that will stand the test of time? The table needs to address these concerns as well as creates a space that is less formal than a usual dining room but as stylish.

    love those harvest tables! my top 2 are the first and the one under the red chandelier! love the last one too, especially with a bench on one side, but the legs look way too cumbersome. i'd bang my knees up on those for sure!

    I like the first one the best too! A big harvest table for all! And you could even add benches to that!…one day…one day 😉

    Coming from cramped Sydney apartment living, I can only dream of a large wooden table to spread the newspaper out on around breakfast cereals and my cup of tea on a sun-filled saturday morning. To me, the kitchen table is the heart of the family home. The first table is definitely my favourite as well!

    As soon as I get a place big enough, it's the first thing on my list!

    Loving the blog K – keep up the good work! xxx
