Add Versatile Dining Space With a Drop Leaf Dining Table
When you're looking for extra seating for special occasions, a drop leaf dining table from Pottery Barn provides a thoughtful and stylish solution. This transforming table design features additional leaves that fold out of the way when they aren't in use, allowing you to adjust the size of the table according to how many people you're feeding.
How to Choose Your Drop Leaf Dining Table
With so many different drop leaf dining table styles to choose from, selecting the one that makes the best fit comes down to looking at the key features of the design, such as:
- Size: Even though all of these designs expand, the size can vary greatly. Look at the dimensions of the table both when it is in its smallest and its largest positions. Consider how both of those measurements will fit in the space. If necessary, map it out with a measuring tape, keeping in mind that chairs will have to push out from the table, as well.
- Shape: Drop leaf tables are around in round, square and rectangular options. Determine which shape will fit best in your room.
- Design Style: What's the overall design style of your dining area and what existing pieces are you matching the table with? These questions will help you narrow down the available options to the one that will best jive with the rest of your decor.
- Finish: Dining tables come in a wide array of finish options, making it easy to choose on that coordinates with your wall color, existing furniture or even kitchen cabinets.
Once you've selected the drop leaf dining table that you'll showcase in your dining space, all that's left to do is to surround it with comfortable seating and set the table with stylish dinnerware, flatware and table linens from Pottery Barn. You'll discover everything you need to create a table that looks like it jumped off the pages of your favorite magazine.
