Move onto Shape
When choosing the right shape for your dining room table, you should consider what look you are going for as well as how much space you have. Below is a breakdown of a few shapes to consider.Rectangle
One of the most popular or traditional choices is a rectangle table. This table shape works great for big get-togethers and family gatherings. You typically have more flexible seating at a rectangle table.Round
Round dining room tables work great in smaller spaces and allow for natural flow in your space. Round tables are great if you are trying to create an intimate setting. You won't have as much seating at a round table, typically, but this style works great for conversations.
Square
If you are dealing with a smaller space or looking for something more casual, a square dining room table works well. If you want to host gatherings occasionally choose a square table that comes with a leaf. Then, you transition to a larger table when you have guests over. A square table is a perfect choice for going from casual to more formal.Now that you have a better idea on how to choose the right size table it's time to get out your tape measure, decide what size table you need and then come into Eldon Furniture and pick out the brand new table!
