So how can we choose the right dining table? We'd like to offer some suggestions here? ：
The first step of selection: determine the dining area.
Whether there is a special restaurant or the living room doubles as a restaurant, we must first determine the maximum area that the dining space can occupy. If the house has a large area and an independent restaurant, you can choose a heavy dining table to match the space;
If the restaurant area is limited and the number of diners is uncertain, and the number of diners may increase on holidays, you can choose the retractable dining table that is common in the market at present, that is, there is a movable board in the middle, which can be placed in the middle of the table or taken down when not in use. Don't buy an extra-large dining table for only three or four parties a year.
In a small family with limited space, a dining table can serve as a variety of roles, such as a writing desk and an entertainment table.
In a family without a separate restaurant, the first thing to consider is whether the dining table can satisfy all members of the family. Is it inconvenient to take up space? At this time, the folding dining table is more suitable for choice.
Step 2: Determine the size and shape of the dining table.
Many people like big tables and think they can do whatever they want. But the bigger the table, the better. When we use the restaurant, we not only eat in a chair, but also serve food, walk around, take things, sit down and so on, so we must leave a proper amount of room for activities. Don't narrow the aisle by pursuing a big table. You have to walk sideways, it's not worth the loss.
Height: when a person sits on a desk and chair with a standard height and his feet are flat on the ground, his thighs and calves are basically vertical; When the arm droops naturally, the upper arm is basically perpendicular to the forearm, and the height of the desktop just touches the plane of the forearm. According to the standard, the standard height of the dining table is between 750 and 790 mm, while the height of the dining chair is between 450 and 500 mm..
Width: the minimum width of the dining table is not less than 75cm. After ensuring the personal dining area (diameter of common dishes 16, 18cm), space should be reserved for public areas. If the width of the table is too small, the space will be very cramped, and it is easy for family members to touch their feet when sitting.
Length: Generally, the length of a square dining table is between 70-240cm, a table for two is 80- 100cm, a table for four 120- 140cm, and a table for six 180-200cm.
Dimensions of round table: Generally, the diameter of a round dining table is 50cm for two people, 80-90cm for four people and1120cm for six people. For small and medium-sized houses, if you use a round dining table with a diameter of more than 90cm, you can sit 4-6 people, but too many fixed chairs will be crowded. If there are many people, you can use folding chairs.
But the round dining table will cause a certain degree of space waste, and there should be some space around it. Even if the number of people eating at ordinary times is small, they can't lean against the wall, so it is more suitable for restaurants with large space.
Therefore, in small-sized homes, square tables will be more popular than round tables. Its biggest advantage is that it saves space, and one end can be placed against the wall to maximize the use of space. If the restaurant is modern and simple, it is also suitable for putting a square dining table, which looks simple and refreshing as a whole.
In addition to the above points, when considering the size of the table, we should also consider the distance between the table and the wall. It is generally better to control it at about 80 cm. This distance includes the minimum distance to pull out the chair and make it easy for diners to move. Most people still want to have a spacious space when eating, and they can go in and out at will. If they are too close to the wall, they will be uncomfortable to eat, so consider this factor when choosing the size of the dining table.
Step 3: Determine the material and style of the dining table.
There are generally three kinds of dining table materials used for a long time at home: wood, transparent glass and marble.
Solid wood dining table
Solid wood is the most common table material in life. It can be clearly seen from the natural wood grain, giving people a natural feeling. Moreover, the solid wood dining table is simple and suitable for most home improvement styles.
Key points of purchase: when selecting, pay attention to distinguish whether there is other wood doping, the solid wood desktop will be smoother and the composite board will be rougher. Usually, you need to pay special attention to avoid the collision of solid wood dining tables and close to fire sources.
Glass dining table
The glass dining table is made of toughened glass with relatively high hardness, which is more modern in style, and the glass material is not easy to deform and easy to clean. Simple and clear lines and transparent visual effects make the glass dining table look unique and unobtrusive, but the glass material is not suitable for cold winter, so laying a tablecloth on it can solve it.
Key points of purchase: choose qualified high-strength tempered glass dining table, and the table top is preferably tempered glass with a thickness of more than 8 mm At the same time, pay attention to whether the corner of the table is polished smoothly to avoid the table top from bursting and bumping caused by high-temperature objects. In addition, families with children should try not to choose glass dining tables.
Marble dining table
The marble dining table has high hardness, is not easy to deform, has strong wear resistance and is not easy to corrode. Generally divided into natural marble dining table and artificial marble dining table. Natural marble dining table is elegant and beautiful, but the price is relatively expensive. The lines and pores of natural marble are easy for oil to penetrate, but it is not easy to clean; The artificial marble dining table has high density, oil stain is not easy to penetrate and easy to clean.
Key points of purchase: marble is graded. A good marble fast-food table shows that it feels delicate and smooth, even if it is lightly scratched, there will be no scratches, and the marble surface has high gloss. At the same time, we should pay attention to whether other materials matched with marble are of the same quality.
In addition to the choice of materials, the choice of dining table style should also be consistent with the overall style of the room. If the bedroom is modern and simple, the dining table should choose the corresponding style, such as a more modern glass dining table; If the bedroom style emphasizes Japanese simplicity, you can consider buying a simple and generous solid wood style.
In a word, any furniture in the home can't be "sui generis", and it should be adapted to the style of the room.
