No country loves to study food more than us. [grin] Eating is not only to solve the problem of food and clothing, but also a family atmosphere and a culture.

There are all kinds of delicious food from all over the world, but after all the experience, the most delicious and nostalgic thing is always the food at home.

When talking about eating, we have to talk about the dining table.

Many friends buy furniture for decoration.The dining table is the easiest to make trouble.It is one of the most common furniture. Its importance is self-evident. It directly affects the dining experience and the appearance of the home. So, you will hesitate:

Dining table, should I buy a round table or a long table?

Is a square table okay?

I have no idea about the size. What size should I choose?

What material to buy?

If so, read on.

First point: Dining table, should I choose a round table, a long table, or a square table?

I prefer round tables.

Circle is a traditional symbol of Chinese culture:

The meaning of circle is very beautiful: flowers in full bloom, the moon is full, a broken mirror is mended, and everything is perfect...

The sky is round and the earth is square, and food is the most important thing for people. That’s why bowls are round, pots are round, and the ends of chopsticks are round…The round table is the obsession and emotional sustenance of the older generation.They believe that it symbolizes family reunion and harmony.

Let’s analyze the advantages of these three types of tables.

Round Table:

The meaning itself is very beautiful and warm.

Secondly, in the same space, a round table can seat more people, which is very lively and convenient for communication no matter where you sit.

It also avoids the embarrassment of standing up to pick up food because you can't reach it...

Long table:

The most popular item now is the long table, because the restaurants in modern commercial housing are generally small or irregular, and some do not even have a complete restaurant area, but instead borrow space from the corridor.

In this case, the size of the long table is more adaptable and the styles are more diverse, so it is loved by many young people who have rigid needs, limited house types, and pursue individuality:

What about the square table?

The biggest advantage is that it does not take up space, can meet the daily dining needs of several people at home, and can also be turned into a card table. [Cover face]

But I've been to many friends' houses, and almost none of them use square tables as dining tables. It's a pity for square tables...

I have always kept the square table from my hometown. When I was there, except for guests, the whole family usually ate and drank tea at the square table, which felt just right.

I couldn't find a photo, just like the one above.

After understanding their respective advantages, it is not enough. After all, each situation is different.3 factors, and then decide which one to choose?

1. The size of the dining area.

Relatively speaking, round tables are more suitable for larger restaurants. The diameter of a household dining table is generally between 1.3 and 1.5 meters and can seat 6 to 10 people.

Let's take 1.4 meters as an example. The space required for the table and the seats around it needs to be 2.6 meters or more to be relatively comfortable. Add at least an aisle on one side, and the total width is generally 3.2-3.5 meters. This size can accommodate a 1.4 round table and seat 6-8 people.

If the restaurant is small but you prefer a round table, you have to buy a small round table based on the actual situation. If you buy a large one, it will easily block the restaurant and greatly affect the experience.

If the restaurant is rectangular, you can choose a long table;

If the area is too small, you should consider a square table or a small round table, which are the best tools for small apartments:

2. Decoration style.

Popular minimalism, light luxury, modern, in our visual impression, long tables should be more suitable, becauseThe long table has strong plasticity in shape, which can achieve a rich and personalized effect, and has a clear sense of lines, which makes it more compatible with these styles.

(Not absolutely, round tables can also be used but you have to choose a good style)

New Chinese style, traditional Chinese style, most owners like itA round table is definitely the first choice for furniture that is both grand and full of meaning.

Round tables are also often seen in French and American styles, because European and American furniture has many round and curved elements, making the furniture look soft, elegant and graceful.

But the atmosphere of their round tables is quite different from ours: we focus on liveliness and friendliness, while they care more about whether they are elegant and appropriate.

3. Personal aesthetics.

It is our subjective consciousness as owners.

If you think a round table is good, then buy one. A large one that can accommodate everything is the best. If not, buy a small one. Because your home is yours and the furniture is for you to use, there is no point in being so entangled about right and wrong...

Liking something is the prerequisite for using it comfortably.

A decorative painting is good, the designer says it is good, the store says it is good, and the neighbor says it is good, but you think it is ugly and awkward. At this time, what will you choose? Will you spend money to buy a painting that others like and hang it in your own home? Or will you spend money for your own preferences?

I believe you will choose the latter.

Some people say that since there are few people at home, the big round table usually seems too empty?

Previously, I also thought that the number of people in the family should be one of the factors in deciding which table to buy, but later I found out:No need to!

No piece of furniture can function at 100% all the time. Just like our guest bedroom, not everyone may live in it every day, but it is worth it as long as it can be used on a few important days a year.

Therefore, even if there are only 2-3 people eating at home on a normal day, a round table can be used for its spaciousness. When there are guests at home during festivals, a large round table is irreplaceable.

What material is most suitable for the dining table?

Mainstream materials:Solid wood, rock slabs, marble, glass, etc.

The most comfortable material: solid wood. North American black walnut, ebony, ebony, red oak, ash, ash, elm, etc.

The popular material now: rock slab.

The recommended price should be above 3000, otherwise you may end up buying a large tile. Marble, we ordinary families should not touch it, it is fragile and expensive.

Glass dining table?When you put something in it, it makes popping sounds and feels very cold. Unless your home needs glass elements to create a sense of design, it is not recommended.

What size dining table is suitable for your home?

If you have no idea about the size and don't know how to measure, just lay out the positions of the table and chairs on the ground with cardboard and then measure the size;

Or provide a floor plan and let the merchant help you determine it;

Details to avoid pitfalls:

1. Do not choose table legs that are shaped like the outer eight that extend beyond the desktop.

2. The corners of the desktop should be rounded, and the bottom of the desktop can be beveled to prevent the desktop from looking heavy;

3. The shape does not need to be fancy, and the table legs cannot block people's legs;

4. Do not choose a multifunctional dining table unless necessary.

5. If you still don’t understand, please ask me.
