Round and oval dining tables

If your dining room or zone in the living room that you allocated for the organization of the dining area has the shape of a square, circle, semicircle or oval, then the model in the form of a circle will become a logical option for placement as a dining table. A standard for a family of four is considered a dining table with a diameter of 1m.

On average, for each sitting person, it is necessary to allocate 0.7 - 0.8 m of space, but it all depends on the physique of your household, the model of chairs and the size of the food and communication zone.

The dining area shown in the photo is part of a spacious living room and is highlighted only with the help of a square carpet. The style of decoration and the color scheme of the dining group with a round wooden table corresponds to the general decor of the living room.

The solid wood from which the dining group is made also refers to library rooms filled with wooden furnishings.

Of course, at a round or oval table, you can place a greater number of households or guests at home than at their quadrangular counterparts. In apartments and households where there are small children, rounded forms of furniture are a priority and will not require special protective reinforcements for corners and bevels.

The plastic model of the table is universal in its design and color scheme, it can become an organic addition to almost any interior.

This dining area in warm, pleasant tones of natural origin carries another functional load - a wine tasting room. All the necessary paraphernalia, including a wine cooler, is located in the cupboard, which is a screen for the next room.

When the dining table is not located in the center of the room, but near the wall, it is important to remember the necessary distance from the table to the surface of the walls or doors - not less than half a meter.

The dining room, located in the bay window space, with a round table and matching wooden chairs, is made in the Provence style with a natural color scheme in beige tones.

And this original dining room gravitates to the Moroccan style of the interior with its layering, neutral palette of decoration and bright decor items. A round dining table with black armchairs in leather upholstery organically complemented the decor of the European room.

Tables with glass and mirror countertops

In order to bring a little luxury and shine to the dining room or living room, you can use the dining table with a mirror or glass top, laminated and glossy finish. When choosing a table or separately worktops for it, it is important to make sure that all the edges and corners (if any) of the glass material are well-crafted, especially for homes with small children.

The spacious and bright dining room, which in combination is also a library, harmoniously adopted the dining group in dark colors. Carved wooden chairs with soft seats, together with a dining table with a glass top, created a luxurious ensemble for a meal of eight people.

The original dark wood dining group with a mirrored top on a spacious table is certainly worthy of being the center of attention. All additional room furniture is made of the same natural material as the dining ensemble and forms a harmonious interior with a non-trivial appearance and a pleasant, warm atmosphere.

An octagonal mirror table is not the only unique piece of furniture or decor in this eclectic living room. Natural shades and motifs in the decoration of the room and the choice of decor items have created an incredibly personalized, unique interior in which luxury and wealth meet practicality and comfort.

Table for an interior in the style of classicism, baroque, rococo

For a living room or dining room in a traditional setting, you need an appropriate table - reliable, durable, impressive, but elegant. Of course, among the favorites for the production of classic tables is a solid wood or its veneered variation.

The use in the dining group of a combination of chairs and armchairs of various colors, textures and patterns brings to the interior of the dining room some relaxation of the severity of the atmosphere, an element of brightness and personality.

When planning the creation of a dining room, it is important to consider the possibility of two exits from the room - into the kitchen and living room or common corridor, onto the stairs. If there is 1.5-2 m between the working area of the kitchen and the dining room, then this distance can be considered favorable for a comfortable stay in both areas.

It is rare to find such a monochrome dining room interior with black wallpaper. The fact is that an incredibly beautiful carved dining table literally requires a decent environment - wooden chairs with ornate carvings and contrasting upholstery, black-and-white room decoration and carpet coloring, and, of course, luxurious chandeliers and decor items with many shiny elements.

Country table for a modern dining area

A table made of wood, unpainted, but polished, varnished, sometimes in a deliberately careless manner, with a touch of brutality in the decoration became a hit for organizing a dining area in a modern interior. The living room, dining room or any other room in which the dining group will be located, decorated in a modern style, can combine in its decor both elements of country, modern, minimalism, and loft and eclectic styles. It should be noted that the presence of a wooden table does not always mean the need to install chairs from the same material, modern style allows the use of plastic, steel and a combination of materials within the same design.

A wooden table with chairs made of similar wood, equipped with soft leather seats for convenience, has become the focus of attention in this slightly decadent dining room.

It is logical that homeowners who have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for the dining room would like to use the available space rationally and occupy at least the walls of the room by installing book shelves.

If you want to recreate in your dining room some semblance of a medieval castle, with its masonry, wooden ceiling beams, a fireplace and candles, then you need a large wooden table with carvings.

The pursuit of minimalism in the dining area

Modern trends in the organization of both personal and functional spaces are increasingly striving for minimalism, simplicity and conciseness, paying tribute to the simplicity of execution, the clarity of shapes and lines, the neutrality of the color palette and the presence of unusual, designer decor items that necessarily carry a practical load and are endowed with a certain functionality.

Here is the very simplicity, practicality and craving for spacious rooms, which is endowed with minimalism like no other style in the interior. The dining table of an incredibly simple design, together with plastic chairs and a seat built into a niche, formed a strict and concise dining group.

Simple in design and execution, the dining table, meanwhile, can accommodate ten people who will sit in comfortable chairs, armchairs, occupying a lot of space each. The dark gray palette of the dining group has a color combination with the kitchen area, and the whole room looks very organic and balanced.

Art Nouveau dining table

To decorate the interior of the dining room or living room with dining area, designers often resort to using the Art Nouveau style or its combination with other stylistic trends. The love of modern stylistics for expensive, natural materials, the smoothness of forms and lines, the desire for decoration, but not excessive, is also reflected in the choice of a dining group model

In a dining room with such an abundance of warm, woody tones, it is difficult to imagine any other material of the dining group, except for wood. A spacious table in a combined version of different types of wood and original chairs to match it became a harmonious center of focus for this room. A non-trivial approach to lighting the dining area finished the image of a warm and cozy, but at the same time modern dining room.

This dining area cannot be denied originality - the legs of the table are made of the same shiny material as the pendant lamp, the upholstery of chairs and armchairs goes well with carpet and textile wallpaper. The whole interior gives the impression of luxury and prosperity, placed in a shell of coziness and comfort.

Folding dining tables are a convenient piece of furniture in everyday life, especially for spaces with a very limited area. But similar models have some drawbacks - less strength and stability compared to their monolithic counterparts. If the dining area allows you to use a non-separable dining table, then it makes sense to lean in choosing this option for the organization of the dining area.
