Choosing the Right Table

Tables come in various styles, each designed for different uses:

  • Dining Tables – Large, sturdy tables designed for mealtime gatherings.
  • Console Tables – Slim and decorative, perfect for entryways and hallways.
  • Accent Tables – Small, stylish tables used for decoration or functionality.
  • End Tables – Compact tables placed next to sofas or chairs.
  • Coffee Tables – Low-profile tables for living room spaces.

Consider the room dimensions and table function. Ensure at least 36 inches of clearance around dining tables for easy movement.

Materials & Durability

The best material depends on durability and aesthetic preferences:

  • Wood – Offers classic appeal and strength.
  • Glass – Creates a modern, airy look.
  • Metal – Provides industrial durability.
  • Marble – Luxurious but requires maintenance.

Yes! Most glass tables use tempered glass, which is stronger and shatter-resistant.

Table Placement & Design Tips

Decorate console tables with lamps, books, and decorative accents to create a balanced look.
