How to choose the right wooden dining table for your Home?
A dining table is a place where the whole family, friends, and guests gather. It is a place of shared meals, conversations, and community. It is safe to say that the dining table is the heart of the home, so before buying, it is worth considering not only the appearance but also the functionality of the table.

What to consider when choosing a dining table?
In the beginning, it is worth considering the shape of the table. First, think about the size of your dining room and the number of people you typically have. If you have a large dining room, you may want to consider a rectangular or oval table. If you usually don’t have so many people at home, a round or square table may be a better option.
Another thing to keep in mind is the type of dining you typically do. If you entertain large groups often, you’ll want a table that can accommodate a lot of people. If you typically have more intimate dinners, a smaller table may be a better fit.
Finally, consider your personal style. Do you prefer a more traditional look, or are you drawn to more modern designs? In our shop, there are dining tables to suit every taste. We produce a wide range, ranging from wooden round and oval dining tables to square, rectangular, and extendable wood tables.
Once you’ve considered all of these factors, you’ll be able to narrow down your options and choose the best dining table shape for your home.
Dining table – Round, rectangular or extendable?
1. Round and oval dining tables
Tables in this shape undoubtedly encourage conversation and social meetings. Round and oval dining tables facilitate eye contact and make each person feel visible and important. The lack of sharp ends makes such tables also suitable for families with children. We will not use the potential of the round dining table when we put it right next to the wall, so it is worth placing the table in the center of the room and creating a central meeting place, and at the same time giving the dining room freshness and space. The final aspect is the size of the table. It often happens that round dining tables need more space than, for example, rectangular tables. This is not a problem for us, because in our offer you will find both larger and smaller wooden tables that will be perfect for a smaller dining room.

2. Square and rectangular dining tables
Rectangular and square solid oak tables are very popular in Scandinavia as they are usually very practical and easy to arrange. Square dining tables will be perfect when we do not have a large dining room. In this case, you can put it against a wall or in a corner, which will save us valuable space. Rectangular dining tables can be used not only as dining furniture but also as writing tables. This shape also allows us to arrange the table and makes it also decorative.

3. Extendable dining tables
Extendable dining tables are a great proposition for people who do not have too much space or simply do not often accept many guests. In our offer, you will find wooden dining tables that do not take up much space daily, and in the case of a larger party, you can quickly unfold them to larger sizes. The undoubted advantage of some of our tables is the system that stores the retractable board under the tabletop, thanks to which it does not take up additional storage space at home.

What size of dining table do you need?
The wrong-size table can make a dining room feel cramped and uncomfortable, while a too-large table can make it feel cold and empty. So how do you know what size table is right for your space and how many people you want to seat? Here are a few general guidelines to help you choose the right size dining table for your needs:
For a small dining room, a round table with a diameter of 90 centimetres is a good option. It will seat four people comfortably without taking up too much space.
If you have a bit more room to work with, a rectangular table that seats six is a great choice. It’s perfect for family meals or dinner parties.
For a large dining room, an oval or rectangular table that seats eight or more is the way to go. This will give you plenty of room to accommodate big groups.
Of course, these are just general guidelines. The best way to figure out what size dining table is right for your space is to measure the room but the final choice depends on individual needs and preferences. At SFD Furniture Design you will find various sizes and shapes of dining tables that will perfectly fit into both small and large dining rooms.

There are many styles and possibilities for arranging a room, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and cozily in your home.
