Firstly, determine the size of the dining area. Whether it is a specialized restaurant or a living room or study that serves as a dining room, it is first necessary to determine the maximum area of dining space that can be occupied.
If the housing area is large and there is an independent restaurant, you can choose a table with a sense of thickness to match the space; If the restaurant area is limited and the number of diners is uncertain, which may increase during holidays, you can choose the most common style on the market - a retractable dining table, which has a movable board in the middle and can be placed or removed when not in use. Do not buy an extra large dining table for gatherings only three or four times a year.
A small family with limited area can allow a dining table to serve multiple roles, such as serving as a writing desk and a mahjong table for entertainment. In families without independent restaurants, the first consideration is whether the dining table can accommodate all members of the family and whether it is convenient to tidy up. Therefore, foldable dining tables commonly seen in the market are more suitable for selection.
Secondly, choices can be made based on the overall style of the home. If the bedroom is decorated in a luxurious style, the dining table should choose the corresponding style, such as a classical European style; If the living style emphasizes simplicity, you can consider purchasing a simple and elegant style with a glass countertop. In addition, the old dining table does not necessarily have to be discarded. In the current trend of emphasizing natural style, if you have an old solid wood dining table, you can move it into a new home, as long as you place a tablecloth with a color that matches the decoration, it also has a sense of elegance.
The shape of the dining table has some impact on the atmosphere of the home. A rectangular dining table is more suitable for larger gatherings; The circular dining table gives a more democratic atmosphere; Irregular tabletops, such as those in the shape of a "," are more suitable for two people to use in small spaces, appearing warm and natural; There are also foldable styles that are more flexible to use than fixed ones.
The dining table is particularly important for setting off. Some people say that a dining table is a model that allows you to dress up. In order to showcase its unique style, different tablecloths can be chosen, such as simple linen tablecloths that showcase a traditional flavor, while bright and bright tablecloths can create a cheerful and lively atmosphere. In addition, the appropriate lighting fixtures above the dining table not only allow people to appreciate the beauty of food's "color", but also create a charming atmosphere. Enjoy a meticulously cooked dinner with family and friends at a well dressed dining table, with a rich and enjoyable atmosphere.
