Advice

Buying a new dining table is a conscious choice where you have to consider many things. To help you, we give here several tips that can help you with the purchase of a new dining room table.

•     Of course, choosing the right size is important. Size depends on family size. At Vega Furniture, you will find dining tables in different dimensions so there is always one that fits your family situation.
•     Do you regularly have guests over? Then choose one of the extendable tables. When you have visitors, you simply unfold the table so that you have more seating space. When the guests are gone, you slide the table back in and you have more space left over.
•     Maintenance is also something to take into account. Wooden tables need to be treated regularly with teak fixes to maintain the natural look. The concrete versions, on the other hand, require less maintenance.
•     The type of table is also a point to think about. Are you going for a round dining room table or would you rather have a square model? You can also choose one of the bar tables where you sit higher. With a few bar stools around, you create a cozy atmosphere in the house.

Considerations for your dining table

Finding a dining table can be trickier than you think. For example, you need to pay attention to the shape, material and size of the table. Every shape dining table has its charm, but it depends on the space in your home which one will fit best. Do not have a large space, or do you put your dining table in the kitchen? Then a round version is a good solution. You can seat enough people and you can still easily walk around it because of the round shape. Do you still want to be able to work at the dining table? Then go for a rectangular table. You can easily push your laptop or the children's homework aside. This leaves you enough space to dine extensively. And if you find a rectangular shape too standard, you can choose an oval dining table. This breaks the many straight lines in an interior and creates a nice balance in the home.

The last thing to consider is the space around your table. Of course, you need to be able to sit comfortably and slide your chair back. So make sure you have enough space around your table. On average, a dining chair is 60 centimeters in width. This is the size of the chair, plus the space between 2 chairs (10 centimeters) in it. You need this space to eat comfortably without hitting your neighbor. Thus, with a 2-meter table, there is room for about 3 chairs per side.

Extendable dining table, or put together your own?

Households range from 1 to as many as 10 people, which is why our designer dining tables range from 75 to 260 centimeters wide. If you do enjoy having guests over, but don't want to sit at an oversized piece of furniture every day, look at an extendable table. Use a nice dining room bench as decorative furniture and slide it in when your friends come over for a sumptuous dinner. It is also possible to put together your table. You can then choose from different materials and colors for the legs and top, and of course you can also decide what size your new acquisition will be. 

The material and living style of the dining room table

A dining table is a piece of furniture that is often the first thing that stands out in the room. Therefore, it is important to think carefully about the material and style you choose for the table. The material largely determines what look the table will have. Because of its warm and timeless look, the wooden dining room table is the most popular. A concrete or metal table will see more in an industrial interior, while a glass table fits well in a modern interior. With the help of chairs and lamps you can then very nicely emphasize your living style.
