How to Choose the Right Dinner Table

First of all, determine the size of the dining area.

Whether it has the function of a special dining room, a living room, or a study serving as a dining room, first of all, determine the maximum dining space area you can occupy. NACHES

If the house has a large area and an independent restaurant, you can choose a dining table with a thick feel to match the space. Suppose the restaurant area is limited and the number of diners is uncertain, and the number of diners may increase on holidays. In that case, you can choose the most common style in the market - a retractable dinner table, that is, there is a movable board in the middle, which can be put in the middle of the dinner table or taken down when not in use. Do not buy an extra large dinner table for a party only three or four times a year.

A small family with limited space can let a dinner table play various roles, such as a small dinner table that can be used as both a writing desk and an entertainment dinner table. The first thing to consider in a family without an independent restaurant is whether the dinner table can meet all the family members and whether it is convenient to tidy up. Therefore, the foldable dinner table with chairs common in the market is more suitable for a selection.

Secondly, you can select it according to the room's overall style.

If the living room is luxuriously decorated, the dinner table should choose the corresponding style, such as the European style or classical style; If the bedroom style emphasizes simplicity, you can consider buying a simple and generous style of glass countertop. In addition, the old dinner table does not have to be discarded. In the current trend of emphasizing natural style, you can move it to your new home if you have an old-style dinner table made of solid wood. It will also be elegant if you put a dinner tablecloth with color and decoration coordinated on it.

The shape of the dinner table has some influence on the atmosphere of the home. The rectangular table is more suitable for larger gatherings; The round dinner table makes people feel more democratic; an Irregular desktop, such as a "comma" shape, is more suitable for two people to use in a small world and looks warm and natural; In addition, the foldable style is more flexible than the fixed one.

The dinner table set needs a special foil. Some say that a dinner table is a model who lets you dress up. To show its unique style, you can choose different dinner tablecloths. For example, simple linen tablecloths show a traditional flavor, while bright dinner tablecloths can make you feel a cheerful and lively atmosphere. In addition, with appropriate lamps above the dinner table, people can not only enjoy the beauty of the "color" of food but also create a charming atmosphere. Enjoy an elaborately cooked dinner with family and friends at the elaborately dressed dinner room table. It's full of fun.
