How to choose the perfect table for
Christmas dining...This time of year many of us are making plans for Christmas. As much as we are looking forward to hosting friends and family most of us are beginning to worry how we are going to seat them all. Before all of the fun of table-scapes, fancy napkins, laying out the nice dinnerware and Christmas crackers, there is the matter of making sure you have adequate seating.
There is so much to choose from when it comes to table styles. Gateleg tables, sliding tops and hidden extensions are all practical solutions to accommodating occasional extra diners.
An expanding dining table either with leaves, flaps or extensions will help with seating your guests at Christmas when everyone is over and free up plenty of space for the rest of the year.
For small spaces or square dining rooms, round dining tables are ideal for circulation and conversational dinners. The rest of the room will flow and be functional around it.
If your space is very tight or dual purpose, a dining nook may be ideal or consider a dining table with benches so you can easily store the seating under the table when not in use.
Sometimes it's the simplest fixes which are the most genius. If you've got a particularly long table in a long room, you might want to think about simply turning it on a diagonal. This way you can easily create more room at the ends and sides and will be able to seat more people. Sometimes, that's all you need!
Having enough chairs is very often a problem. Think about buying folding chairs or stackable ones so that you can store them throughout the year and bring them out for big occasions.
Don't be afraid to mix it up with style and borrow chairs from other rooms. The eclectic look is quite chic and makes the dining area look more relaxed.
