Traditionally, much of life revolves around the dining room table. It is a unifier, a place of community — where families share a meal and their day’s stories, and friends gather for dinner parties and feel instantly at home.
The new-norm has redefined the importance and functionality of a dining table – transforming it into a WFH station, an online school stop where one does homework and art projects, and a hobby hub. That is, of course, apart from being a gastro address for home cooked specialties and the take-out favorites we have come to love.
So we are rethinking our dining rooms with the modern multifunctional table as the centerpiece. And the good news is that there is a lot of table talk from Our Home which also offers us some tips when selecting the dining table for your space.
Consider the size of the room. Dining tables should complement and be proportional to the size of your dining room.
Rectangular dining tables are very practical and functional. It can seat a large number of people and can easily adjust the seating capacity. Its linear shape allows for ample room to walk around the table. Our Home has many design options to choose from like the Panfield and Alvea Dining Sets.
Round tables like Our Home’s Ancona dining table work well in small rooms where there is less bumping without the corners. It also creates a more intimate setting and cozy ambiance.
Foldable tables like Our Home’s Jada table, as well as bar tables can also function as dining tables, and some designs perfect for a condo, loft or studio unit.
Make dining fun. Play around with different seating options. Mix and match host chairs, guest chairs and benches to maximize creativity in your dining room. Our Home’s Fredrik Dining Set combines that casualness of a bench setting and provides elegance with its dining chairs.
