Tips for Finding the Perfect Dining Room Table

The table is the main hub for interactions in your home. From homework to dining to playing games, there are many activities that take place around the table. Our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks knows how important it is to find the right table for your dining space. Everyone's needs vary and our team can help you find the ideal dining room table for your family. Learn about some of the options and styles Slumberland Furniture at the Lake has available below.

Find Your Style

Modern: Go modern with sleek finishes, straight lines, or metal- or glass-top tables.
Country: If you seek a homey, country style, look no further than a trestle table. The style dates back to the Middle Ages and is commonly found in farmhouses.
Cottage: Cottage style dining is casual and laid back. Tables often have a pedestal base and/or painted finishes.
Formal: Formal dining room sets often feature high-gloss, dark woods, and carved or bowed legs.
Eclectic: You don’t have to go with a set. Mix and match your style by pairing a country table with a variety of formal chairs and vice versa.

Find Your Shape

Round: Round tables also are recommended for more intimate gatherings, as they allow for better conversation and interaction among guests. Here’s a fun party trick: Purchase a large Lazy Susan for the middle of the table so guests can easily reach condiments, napkins, and other dining necessities.  Or,  if it’s a function you’ll use a lot, consider a table that includes a Lazy Susan built right in.
Oval: Oval tables take the edge off of boxy rooms, but still accommodate a large number of guests. Since the majority of furniture has straight edges (bookcases, buffets, etc.) an oval table is a great way to introduce curves to a room.
Square: For a smaller room consider a square table that lends to more intimate conversation. If you worry you may occasionally host extra guests, consider a square table that can be expanded with leaves.
Rectangular: There’s a reason it’s the standard shape. Rectangular tables can accommodate a crowd. They work well in narrow rooms, allowing for more traffic flow. Rectangular tables also offer more options for seating, such as a bench rather than chairs. This, too, saves on space and accommodates more guests.

While these are not all the variances of tables we have, it may help you narrow down a certain style or look.
