The table is where the best meals are taken, where the most important issues are discussed, where the most genuine laughter is heard, and where there is space and time for everything we most appreciate. That said, it seems like a giant challenge to choose the perfect dining table, the one that meets all the requirements you most want to fulfill, but within the rectangular, round, oval or square tables, there are some essential rules to keep in mind, know which ones:

 

 

Essentials

 

The table: the tabletop should be 72 to 75 centimeters from the floor. The distance between the underside of the tabletop and the floor should be at least 63 centimeters, in order to provide space for people’s legs and chairs to sit comfortably underneath.

 

There should be a margin of about 30 centimeters between the seat of the chair and the tabletop. A round table for 4-5 people should be at least 110 centimeters in diameter, a table for 6 people should have a minimum diameter of 120 centimeters, and a table for 8 people should have a minimum diameter of 150 centimeters.

 

How many people will eat at the table? Count on an area of 60 x 35 centimeters per person, so that you have, room for the plate, the cutlery, and the glass. What determines these measurements is not so much the width of the chairs, but the space covered by the movement of the arms. A long rectangular dining table should be at least 80 centimeters wide.

 

If you prefer more intimate meals with few guests, round tables are the best choices, as they create essential closeness. If you like to invite friends and family over regularly, rectangular tables are perfect because of the flexibility of adding another seat, as are extendable ranges that accommodate more guests.

Before buying a dining chair, you should consider some aspects such as comfort and elegance. Comfort, because the dining table is where people gather to have their meals, to talk and sometimes to work. Elegant, because it is important that it looks good and reflects your style.

 

Before you look for dining chairs, determine the size you will need. For this, you need to consider the size of your room and the space around the table. Measure your living room and dining table to see the size and number of chairs you can have. Remember to calculate the space between the chairs, as well as the actual space the chair will take up, before you make your choice.

 

The material of your dining chair is important, as it also determines its look and feel. There are several types of materials and finishes that you can choose from. From the sophisticated design of metal to the versatility of wood, you can balance on any of these variants. Upholstered dining room chairs can provide an opportunity to use colors and patterns for a more elegant and sophisticated effect.
