A dining table is often the focal point of the dining room, anchoring the decor around it and providing a place for families to gather for laughs and conversation over a shared meal. Dining tables range in size from small, quaint-feeling tables to long tables capable of sitting both sides of the family plus a few friends. Some tables may be extendable with a hidden section—called a leaf—to add space for extra guests and compact down for day-to-day meals.
Play with the style and choose a live edge to keep the natural bark along the side for a rustic, naturally beautiful table, or add a conversation starter with an epoxy resin or reclaimed wood table.
If you are starting from scratch, consider a full dining set that includes a matching table and seating. Using a dining set introduces a cohesive look to your space and allows a wonderful jumping-off point to begin decorating your room in your preferred style. Opt for wooden benches for a homey, rustic feel, or try some upholstered walnut chairs to add a little mid-century modern touch to the room.
