A Dining Room Table Manipulating a home around clients living habits is a challenge faced daily working in the design and retail atmosphere. One of the first things I learned several years ago is that a dining room, used for entertaining, can be the most dramatic room in the house.
Furniture counts for more in the dining room than in any other room in the house.
Both size and the style of the dining table warrants more consideration than just an evaluation of the way it looks on the showroom floor. A few suggestions follow on size, shape, seating and materials to help you select a table that will suit your dining room and your style of entertaining. Size Start out shopping with dining-room measurements in hand. In addition to the table size, there must be enough open space around the table for chairs to be pulled out for seating. About 4 feet on each side is ideal, and less than 3 feet would not be adequate.
