The dining table is the real heart of the home, where you can enjoy both everyday life and celebrations with family and friends. A piece of furniture that fulfills such an important function should therefore be as lovely, functional and beautiful as possible. It’s not for nothing to say that visuals are half the food – well-thought-out table setting and fresh flowers on a beautiful table make even Monday’s macaroni box gourmet.

People other than knights enjoy themselves at the round table

One of the interior design hits of 2019 is the round dining table. As so often happens elsewhere, first you subconsciously register it as something wonderful, then you start coming across it more often and finally you simply have to have it. This is what happened to me with the round Dining Table. And I’m not the only one, because round tables have taken over the dining rooms of decor freaks.

I vaguely remember from the eighties that my family almost had a round table, but after that the round shape gave way to straight corners. And how free the round shape looks after all these years!

Marble dining table – threat or opportunity?

In addition to the parents, our family’s composition includes a little toddler with a me-it-yourself attitude, whose eating habits still resemble what you see on weekends in the early hours of the morning at the snägäri. Half in the mouth, half on the breasts and the rest is rubbed on the table or anywhere.

Despite this, we opted for a new dining table in light marble as the table top material.  , where there was a selection of tables for every taste.

 

The table has a diameter of 120 cm and six people can easily fit around it.

There are slightly conflicting experiences about how delicate a material marble is. We already have experience with a marble table in the form of a coffee table, and this has proven to be easy to care for, despite our fears. Of course, light marble requires care and care, but if you are ready to see this little extra effort, it is also a real pleasure for the eyes.

 

The marble must be protected with a preservative intended for natural stones before use. In addition, a silicone pad can be placed on the table to protect the table for the wariest member of the family, whoever it is. Splashes and clutter should be wiped off the marble immediately, and special care should be taken, for example, with lemon, the acid of which is absorbed into the marble like the first white glass of a summer holiday in the gums of a mother.

Five Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dining Table

  1. Choose the shape of the table according to the space and your own preferences. Often, a table that is too large for the space is chosen as the table. A round table has an airy look and softens the angularity of the room, and it is a good choice even in a cramped space. Meanwhile, a lot of people can fit around the long, rectangular table. If you like to serve food in the center of the table, a square shape is a good choice. If there are very few square meters, a folding table that can be raised if necessary is a space-saving option.
  2. When choosing a table, consider the number of diners. One diner needs about 60 cm of table space. When using the space, also take into account that the chairs must be able to move. Before making a purchase decision, it is worth sketching the size of the table in the area of ​​the masking tape, for example, so you are saved from unpleasant surprises.
  3. The dining table doesn’t just have to be an obligatory evil, it can be a self-righteous eye-catcher! There are different shapes, materials and colors, each more beautiful than the other, so if aesthetics are important to you, you don’t have to compromise on beauty. You can also choose a neutral dining table and bring an additional look with showy chairs.
  4. If the number of diners varies or you want additional space as needed, an extendable dining table is a good choice. With the extension piece, you get extra space for games, games and parties.
  5. Pay attention to the materials. The dining table should withstand use, heat, moisture and stain removal. Solid wood, stone and glass tables are easy to keep clean.
