Dining Room Table Features to Look For

With so many different dining tables available, you're bound to find on that will become a showpiece in your home. As you shop the available options, take into consideration a few of the key features of the table, such as:

• Pedestal Style: Oftentimes, the pedestal of the table sets the stage for the overall style of the piece of furniture. Some pedestals are simple and sleek for a modern or mid-century look while others are intricately detailed, making them more traditional.
• Shape and Dimensions: Consider the size of the dining space available and choose a dining table appropriately sized for the room. Round tables have a way of making everyone sitting around the table feel equally involved in conversation. Square and rectangular dining tables provide more traditional elegance and make an ideal choice for narrower rooms.
• Special Features: Sometimes, it's the small things that set one table apart from another. Extension tables are a great solution for entertaining larger groups on holidays or during special events.

Add Coordinating Dining Chairs

Once you've selected the wood pedestal dining table that will become the focal point of your decor, it's time to add seats around your dining table. There are two primary styles to choose from. Armchairs are ideal for at the ends of a rectangular table. When you want to maximize seating around a round table or down the sides of a table, armless chairs and benches are a great option. You can even mix-and-match dining chairs and benches to make the table a more versatile seating area.

The pedestal dining table you select is sure to become the star of your dining room. Give it your own personal flair by styling the dining table with placemats, table runners and dinnerware that speaks to the color scheme and style of your space. These items are easy to keep out all year round or change out seasonally for a festive look.
