How to choose the table for the dining room

Choosing a table for the dining room is not simple at all. On the market we now find a variety of fixed, extendable, round and other design tables, to the point that it has become difficult to know which table to choose.

First we need to understand how much space we have in the room to insert our dining table. The dining room and living room are often combined, especially if the rooms are small.

In small rooms a rectangular or square dining table can be more practical. A side can be placed against the wall to earn space when not in use. Instead, an extendable table for the room is ideal to optimize every available inch: if you have any extra guest over you will instantly have the seats you need.

If, on the other hand, you are lucky enough to have a spacious dining room, you can opt for a round dining table, which will give a truly harmonious and elegant design to the room.

In choosing your table for the dining room, you must also consider what is the furniture style chosen for your living area. We have designed dining tables with the aim of responding to the most diverse needs that include creating your favourite furnishing style. Choose from minimalist, industrial, classic or modern dining tables and create the dining room you've always wanted!

Choosing the dining room shape

Choosing the table shape is certainly a matter of taste, but we need to optimize the dining room space in order to create an eye-pleasing environment.

A round-shaped dining table is particularly indicated for spacious or square-shaped rooms; On the contrary, a rectangular dining table is perfect for long-shaped or narrow rooms.
In addition, a round table allows all diners to be able to look at each other while sitting at the table, eliminating barriers and making the atmosphere more intimate. On the other hand, a rectangular table is versatile and can be used with benches to push under the table when not in use or one side of the table can be leaned against the wall if you need more space in the room.

What to place on the dining room table

The real focal point of a dining room is the table and we must enhace it to its best.
There are those who prefer to leave it completely bare in order to highlight the finish and the materials, or those who prefer to place a vase of flowers or fragrant candles in the center of the table.

When you are setting up the table, amaze your guests with the Mobili Fiver table linen line. Opt for a runner or cloth placemats to highlight the finish of your new dining room table. In addition, the table linen is washable and can be reused to avoid creating new waste.
