How will you use your dining table? Everyday dining = a table that’s durable and easy to clean will be the main priority. Hub of your home = you’ll want a table that’ll bring people together in a warm and welcoming environment. Mainly for special occasions = a table with a wow factor and really premium look will be best to impress your guests. Table extensions will come in handy too. Doubling up as a workstation or desk = you’ll want a table with a durable surface and enough space for laptops and books.

How many do you need to sit at your dining table?
2-4: many two seater tables can seat up to four, so this is an ideal option if you’re a little pushed for space.
4-6: Having a table that seats six when you on average only have four is a great option (if you have the space) as you’ll always have room for guests.
6-8: a six to eight seater dining table will be a real staple piece in your dining room. It’s sure to be an investment piece.

What shape dining table would be best?
Round or oval – always feels social and is great for maximising any space. A round table top takes up less room and offers more seating flexibility.
Square – gives an open and spacious feel with plenty of table top surface available. Easy to turn an unused corner into a cosy dining spot.
Rectangular – lots of choices available and easy to fit within most rooms. Great match with dining benches.
