The dining room table is the beating heart of your home! Whether located in a big, beautiful and dedicated dining room or nestled into your kitchen, living or walkway area, the dining table is a central component of your day-to-day life. From investing in the right dining room table for your home to putting those final, finessing touches on your piece, keep reading to discover everything you need to know about dining tables, as detailed by the experts at 1825 Interiors.
Finding The Right Dining Room Table
Before you start to consider your decorations, it is key to find the perfect dining table for your family home. You may be furnishing your space from scratch, with total freedom to create your space exactly as you choose – or maybe you’re looking to update your dining room formation with the help of a striking dining room table. Either way, taking a step back and viewing your space as a whole is the first key step to securing your ideal piece.
Take A Holistic View
When you are shopping for your home, one of the best things you can do is take a wide-scope approach to your investments. This means considering components like the size of your family, how often you entertain guests, the overarching interior design aesthetic you either have or are hoping to create and other changing components like colour scheme or how long you are planning to live in your space! All of these aspects will have an impact on the dining table you choose, at least they should! A wise investment is suited to you, your tastes and your ongoing needs, so make sure you take a step back and look at your home from a holistic viewpoint.
A great way of approaching this issue is by keeping your eye on classically beautiful pieces that you can keep, love, style and use for countless years to come. 1825 Interiors stocks a curation of reclaimed timber dining tables, which are timeless by nature and guaranteed to never go out of style. Crafted in a selection of round, rectangle, square and oval shapes, there is a model to fit every type of family home. For a truly stunning addition to your dining area, consider a classic reclaimed timber piece with subtle, elevating details. The Regency 1200 Round Dining Table features artful, organic textures across its smooth, rounded shape for a gorgeous finish that slots seamlessly into a range of different spaces.
Consider A Set
If you are looking to invest in a dining table and matching dining chairs, then a set is the ultimate hack! Dining sets take all the hard work out of styling your home, with stunning curations of coordinating chairs and tables that you can effortlessly introduce into your space without needing to consider chair or bench heights and how they are going to work with your chosen table. The Tuscan 1800 Bar Table Package with Benches is a great example of how simple yet impactful the right matching dining package can be!
How To Decorate A Dining Room Table
Once you have found your perfect dining room table, you can focus on the fun part – the styling! The great thing about securing an elevated base is that pretty much every formation you try is going to look brilliant, so you can let yourself experiment and switch out your additions over time until you are completely happy with your styling choices. Below, explore a few of our favourite styling tips for bringing your dining room table to life.
Keep It Fresh With Flowers
There is nothing quite like a bouquet of blooms to bring a home to life. This is a quick and simple way of transforming the look and feel of so many different areas of your home. 1825 Interiors stocks a curation of forever flowers, made from fabrics that will never fade, so you can keep and love them for a long time to come. They’re the perfect accessory for a subtle pop of style that is still versatile and blends harmoniously with all interior design categories out there.
Make Your Serveware The Star
Great interior design combines style with function. A beautiful way of making your dining table something special is by taking something more functional like your serving pieces, and turning them into a high-style star! Highlight layered coasters, candle holders and placemats on your dining table, and you’ll find that they bring just the right level of contrast to make your space shine. Take a look at this tip in action with the Petite 1800 Dining Table.
Take A Layered Approach
To take your dining table to new levels of style, take a layered approach to accessorising. Adding multiple layers of pieces will enhance the impact of your table and create more of a scene for the surface. Think a grounding table tray, a sculptural or thematic ceramic piece, and a tall vase full of dried, colourful flowers. These will all play against one another to add a beautiful pop of personality to your family home.
