Dining tables are the centre stage of a home after the living room. Millennial living means we eat, play, work or do homework in our dining spaces. There are several tasks to consider when picking a dining set.
The size of your dining space or room should be the first guide. A table that will be too big for your space will leave the room feeling cramped instead of cozy. Apart from budget, other factors that you should consider are the size and ages of your family members. Here are 4 dining set options to choose from.
Upholstered Chairs
A dining set that has upholstered chairs adds elegance to any room. You can choose the color and texture of the fabric on your chairs. If you have small children this is not the best choice for you as wiping daily food stains will cause the fabric to fade.
Mismatched dining set One of the current trends is the mismatched dining set where a table and chairs do not compliment. Whereas this style is not for everyone, it is a cost effective way to put up a dining set. Think a new or thrifted table with a set of random chairs. Choice of chairs can vary from plastic, fibre or school desk chairs.
Collapsible and extendable dining table If you are the kind of person that hosts frequently but still desire a feeling of space when you are not hosting, this is the table for you. There are plenty of collapsible and extendable tables to choose from. If you plan to get a custom made table instruct your furniture maker how you would like the tabletop to fall out.
Farmhouse dining table A farmhouse dining table is the best kind of table for anyone raising young kids. This table is common in shabby chic themes but can be incorporated in any other theme. The tabletop is imperfectly made from solid wood which allows it to withstand daily use and cleaning. You can pair your farmhouse table with any type of traditional chairs like Windsor chairs, modern foldable chairs, upholstered chairs or wooden benches.
