Marble Table Top Dining Table

If you would have to design a new dining room right now, what kind of table would you choose for it? The question is not as simple as it may seem. The world of dining table is not reduced to just the usual types with rectangular tops and wooden legs. Dining room tables come in a wide variety of designs, styles, sizes, colors and finishes and they each have a set of unique characteristics that makes them special. If you're still set on the standard look, perhaps one of the following designs can change your mind.

Dining tables with rectangular tops

This is the most common type of dining table. The rectangular top is very versatile and highly practical in most homes and environments.

Rectangular dining tables are particularly practical in rooms that are long and narrow. They suit this sort of layout without making the room seem even smaller.

There are many different ways in which to decorate around a rectangular dining table. For example, add a rectangular area rug under it to highlight the geometry.

The clean lines and straight angles of a table with a rectangular top can seem a bit harsh in some cases. You can soften the look with a collection of chairs that have delicate curves and smooth lines.

Similarly, decorate the dining space with spherical or rounded lighting fixtures. This trio of pendant lamps also looks interesting thanks to their bright color.

The balance is really nice here between the table and the chairs. The table has a rectangular top while the chairs have curved back and armrests. Also, there's a nice contrast of light and dark tones.

Use table runners to either emphasize the length of the dining table or to make it look smaller and more cozy and comfortable by placing them horizontally along the width of the table.

Complement a rectangular dining table with benches. Or perhaps you'd prefer to have a bench on one side of the table while the other side features individual chairs.

You never know when you're going to need extra seats at the dining table so having one that can expand would come in very handy. It's good to always be prepared.

There are various different styles for expandable dining tables. The drop leaf models are quite common. Others are a bit more complex.

Most expandable tables would drastically change their look and size in just a few minutes or even less. It all depends on the system used for the design.

The sides of this table drop down when not needed, allowing the table to become smaller, more compact and to occupy less floor space.

Some table models only expand on one side. This means you can permanently position them in a corner or close to a wall and simply raise the extra side portion when needed without having to move the table.

You can usually recognize an expandable dining table by its puzzle-like design. The top is made of up two or more pieces. However, that's not always a clear sign that the table is expandable.

Expandable dining tables are particularly practical in the case of small homes. Also, they can be multifunctional and double as desks or even console tables when in their compact form.

Oval dining tables
