Table shape – match it to the space

One of the most important elements when choosing a table is its shape. Depending on the size of the room and the interior layout, different forms may work better.

The most frequently chosen are:

• rectangular tables
• square tables
• round tables

In recent years, round designer tables have gained particular popularity, as they introduce more lightness and harmony into the interior.

A round table also has a practical advantage – it encourages conversation and integration because everyone sits at an equal distance from each other.

Table size – how much space do you need

When choosing a dining table, it's worth paying attention to its size. It should be adapted to both the number of household members and the size of the room.

It is assumed that approximately 60 cm of table space is needed per person.

It's also worth leaving at least 90 cm of free space around the table so that chairs can be freely pulled back and movement around the room is unhindered.

Larger round tables work great in bigger dining rooms, as they can accommodate more people while maintaining elegant proportions.

Materials – durability and style

The material from which the table is made is of great importance for both its durability and appearance.

The most common materials are:

• wood
• ceramics
• glass
• metal

Tables with metal bases are becoming increasingly popular, giving furniture a modern character and allowing for more sculptural forms.

Metal constructions are also very durable and stable, making them perfect for both dining rooms and restaurants or hotels.

Designer table as a central element of the interior

Contemporary interior trends show that a table can be more than just practical furniture.

Designers increasingly treat it as a central element of the arrangement, around which the entire space is built.

Tables with a distinctive form can serve a decorative function and give the interior character. This is especially true for models with a sculptural base, which resemble modern design objects.

Therefore, more and more designer tables have metal bases, which give them a unique form and emphasize the modern style of the interior.
