Dining Table with Glass Top

Thinking of opting for a dining table with glass top instead of a traditional wooden surface? Then get ready for some shiny benefits.

It’ll immediately showcase your outside-the-box thinking: you don’t settle for the most popular option. You like making statements!

Plus, it’ll result in a brighter look and create an illusion of space. This is especially handy to make smaller dining rooms appear airier and wider.

At the same time, you can’t just pick the first glass dining table you find and drop it in the middle of it. To ensure a cohesive feel, look for the right features to complement your decor.

While these dining tables are certainly more popular with certain styles and less with others, here’s how you can still make it work.

Minimalist wooden dining table designs with glass top

Forget about decorative cabriole legs or bulky frames! For minimalist dining rooms, a streamlined design is key.

A simple pedestal is especially popular in minimalist tables for 4, whereas a glass top wood base dining table for 6 or more would probably look better with legs.

Contemporary rectangular glass top dining table with wood base

Glass dining tables and contemporary decor go hand in hand, so you’re already one step ahead if you’ve opted for this interior style.

However, to reinforce it even more, consider an unusual base relying on clean lines and geometric shapes, too. Something that wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery, we could say.

Eclectic glass top dining table with wooden base

The beauty of eclectic decor is that you get to combine your favorite elements from different styles without them looking out of place.

To celebrate this style, consider choosing a unique glass top dining table with wooden base that looks like one of a kind or with a global-inspired design.

Scandinavian glass top rectangular dining table

Minimalist designs will usually work wonders in Scandinavian settings, too. However, it helps to focus on a natural palette (for example, white, yellow, dark blue, gray, brown, forest green, or light wood finishes).

If you can find a dining table with glass top and a base in one of those hues, you’ll get bonus Scandi points.

Traditional glass dining room tables 8

While a glass dining room table might not be the most obvious choice in cozy traditional settings, here’s a simple trick to make it work: choose a base in a neutral color like black and complement your table with chairs in a more traditional design.

Why not add some adorable cushions, too?

Transitional glass dining room table

Balancing classic and contemporary to create the perfect transitional decor can almost be considered a form of art, and your new glass dining room table can certainly be a part of it. After all, the glass element will immediately add to the contemporary side of things, especially if you include a creative metal frame.

Alternatively, you can make it a bit more traditional by opting for wooden legs. Oh, and don’t forget a cozy centerpiece, too!

Mid century modern wooden dining table design with glass top

While wooden designs are a more obvious choice for mid-century modern decor, glass models were fairly popular as coffee tables in the same decades, so why not embrace them in your dining room?

The key here is to maintain some wooden elements in the frame and especially some outward-pointing legs. For larger households, a long rectangular glass dining table for 6 or more will work, too.

Bohemian glass and wood dining table

Much like people who prefer eclectic interiors, bohemian lovers won’t shy away from a touch of uniqueness, but they’ll usually prioritize a natural element.

In our case, since you’re already settled on a glass surface, it should definitely be a wooden base. To make it more bohemian, though, try and look beyond the most predictable traditional models.

Shabby chic rectangular glass dining table set

With shabby chic decor being especially famous for white hues and distressed wooden elements, you’re probably wondering how on earth you’ll manage to introduce a dining table with glass top without it looking awfully out of place.

Well, it’s simple: look for shabby chic legs or a pedestal! For example, a white frame or decorative designs like cabriole legs.

French country dining table glass top

Another slight challenge, French country decor and dining tables with glass tops aren’t the easiest pairing, but you can still look for the most ornate shapes and decorative bases.

As for materials, try scouting for some distressed wood or metal.

Industrial dining table with glass top

A metal base and a wooden surface is the most industrial combination of all time: just drop into the first hipster cafe in your area, and you’re guaranteed to find it.

Still, if one of your core materials is going to be glass, just keep one of the other two for your base… as long as you choose a streamlined geometric shape or clean lines.

To add even more industrial vibes, pair up your table with a long wooden and metal bench or some metal chairs.

Art deco rectangular glass dining table

If you have an art deco home, looking for a dining table with glass top is easy. Just ask yourself, can I imagine Gatsby eating here?

Why not go the extra mile by choosing a dining table with glass top and a wooden design that looks like it has grown spontaneously in the middle of your room?

Our advice Buying Guide

Nothing can be more elegant than a glass top dining table with a wood base. The wood can provide a base, or it can be used as a rim to frame the glass. The glass used as tabletops is exceptionally thick and strong, but some precautions should be taken to preserve the beauty of your glass table top. Most are simple common sense, but as the saying goes, sense is rarely common or simple.

How to care for glass top dining tables?

Here are some suggestions for good care of any glass topped table:

Avoid slamming or bumping the table when moving it or placing things on it.
Use coasters or mats under any containers. This will prevent scratches and help prevent spills that can cause a need for extra cleaning.
Avoid placing containers that are extremely hot or extremely cold on the glass surface. Modern glass might have preventative measures, but older glass might be susceptible.
Use the same cleaning techniques that you might use for window glass or glass mirrors. Avoid strong chemicals – warm water will clean most glass tables adequately. If something a little stronger is needed, test a little of the table with some white vinegar. If there’s no reaction, you can use a vinegar and water solution for extra cleaning strength.
Use a soft cloth to clean the table top.
Clean any lint or extra dust by using crumpled newspaper or plain, brown paper towels.
When moving your glass table, cushion it in quilts or heavy blankets. If possible, place the glass flat with nothing under or over it. If it must be stood on edge, placing it between mattresses can help protect the glass.

What are the different designs of glass top dining tables with a wooden base?

There are many styles of glass-topped tables that can complement your home decorating theme.

A glass table top over a graceful brown Y, braced with white. The effect is spare and beautiful. Dark wood ladder frame base shows through the glass – it could be real mahogany, or a lesser wood stained to resemble mahogany or walnut.
A shadow box support – great for miniature landscapes or similar items.
Kidney-shaped glass over polished driftwood supports for an extraordinary organic effect.
A simple rectangle of glass over a polished wood sawhorse.
Framed glass with wood, with matching supports
A simple round of glass on a pedestal support, with matching wicker chairs around it.

Vary the theme with a polished slab of vertically sawn wood placed on rectangles of glass as legs, or glass legs with a top of finished barn wood.

Glass and wood go together beautifully, in many combinations. Glass top dining tables with a wood base can go with almost any sort of décor. Wood comes in so many different colors, shapes, and configurations, there’s no limit to the variety of ways it can be used. Glass can also come in many shapes, colors, clear or frosted that beautifully blend with wood.
