Step 1 – Determine which dining table you are looking for

A lot of choice can sometimes be overwhelming, especially if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. It is therefore smart to think for yourself what you are looking for in a dining table.

Your ideal size

Start with the most practical aspect: what size are you looking for? Determine the minimum number of seats you need. It may be that it is sufficient if you can at least sit your family at the table. In the case that one or more guests regularly eat with you, you will probably need more places.

Also consider the space in which the new dining table will be placed. How large is the available surface area? It is crucial to have a good insight into how much space the table can take up at most. This prevents the table from getting in the way and increases your table comfort.

DO: Before you read on, we recommend writing down the minimum number of seats you need and the dimensions of the space you need to fit the table and chairs into.

Tip: make a small drawing of the dining room to scale. Also think of doors (incl. their turning circle), radiators, windows and walking space. This will give you an extra good idea of ​​how big your dining table with chairs can take up without it becoming too cramped.

Your ideal design

In addition to consuming meals, many people also use their dining table for other purposes. By playing with the design of the dining table, you can make it fit better into the daily life of your household . Therefore, it is good to take into account who will be using the table. If you have young children or have just become grandparents, it can be a great advantage to choose a table top that is easy to keep clean.

It is also a good idea to consider what functions your dining table will be used for, so that you can tailor your choices accordingly. For example, if the dining room is also your home office, it is important to choose the right table and chair height to prevent neck and shoulder complaints.

DO: Before you read on, we recommend that you write down in keywords who your household consists of and what functions your dining table is used for.

Your ideal dining room

In addition to the variety of functions a dining table can serve, this piece of furniture also strongly influences the atmosphere in your dining room, or your entire home. For this reason, it is valuable to know in which atmosphere you feel most comfortable. For example, a round table in a square room will quickly give a warm and cozy impression, while a rectangular dining table will emphasize tidiness here.

Finally, you can decide for yourself which style suits you best. Not everyone has a clear preference for a distinct style. Many styles can also be combined well. Examples of combined living styles are modern-minimalist, industrial-vintage or rural-classic. This insight will make it easier to put together the perfect dining table. For example, with a black steel base you can give a wooden table top an industrial look. However, this same table top will get a more rural look with a wooden base. Small variations can therefore have a different effect.

DO: Before you read on, we advise you to write down in keywords what atmosphere you like and what interior styles you like.

Tip: If you are not planning to change the rest of your interior, choose a style that matches the rest of the decor.

Your ideal dining table

Once you have written down everything you are looking for in your future table, you can start to weigh up which preferences are most important to you. This is an easy way to help you decide later when you are in doubt between two options. If you find it difficult to choose between two things that you value highly, it can help to add the frequency to the activity. Do people in your household have different needs? Then discuss with each other why which aspect is important and try to accommodate each other in this.

DO: Go through the list of all the qualities of your ideal dining table. Are there any things you find important missing? Add them first. Then rank all the wishes from most to least important.

An example: Imagine that you live alone in an apartment with limited space. Because you enjoy cooking, you invite your group of five friends over every now and then. In addition, you attach great importance to a quiet, minimalist atmosphere that keeps the house spacious and uncluttered. Ultimately, you come to the conclusion that you value space most, then atmosphere, and then additional function. When putting together your dining table, you design a Danish oval dining table for 4 people and a round dining table for 6 people. Both tables fit well in the available space, which is no longer the case with a larger size. Which table should you choose? Although the entire group of friends can sit at the round table, the Danish oval model with a more rectangular shape will make the room appear more spacious and less cluttered than a round table. You take out your list of priorities and see that you find atmosphere more important than additional function, this helps you to ultimately make your choice for the Danish oval dining table.

Step 2 – Create your own dining table

Now that you know exactly what you want in a dining table, the next step is to determine which dining table best suits your needs. Read on to learn more about how top shape, top material, base, size, top thickness, edge finish, and chairs affect seating capacity, space, your household, functions, ambiance, and style.
