Octagon Kitchen Table

Color, when it comes to octagonal kitchen tables, is most certainly cool but beware of trendy hues as today’s trendy color might be the fashion fail of tomorrow. Choose wisely. We always advise homeowners to stick to classic colors like red, blue, and yellow if there really is a need to inject color within a kitchen or dining room.

The primary colors (the ones we’ve just mentioned) have staying power. The reason? It's because they’re unapologetically basic. As you know, red is a color that’s very popular especially in homes with an Asian theme. However, red also works in modern and minimalist homes.

Black is also great if you are not expecting the table to sustain wear and tear. Black octagonal kitchen tables are notorious for being tricky as the smallest scratch can easily be seen. However, if you’re careful, a black kitchen table with a geometric shape will be your cool option and will remain to be so.

You may fall madly and deeply in love with the table with an octagonal marble or metallic top. Don't be discouraged. Just think of how you can transport the table safely. For those who are always on the move, select the octagonal kitchen table that can be transported easily. You may be one of those people who hop from one apartment to another in just a short period of time. If so, then a heavy kitchen table will prove to be a big annoyance as it weighs you down every single time you move.

As you are better off with a lightweight table, a good material option for you is plywood as it’s both lightweight and durable. It can be flat-packed and then assembled when the need arises. A dining table that can be moved easily and packed quickly is gaining in popularity for the past years as more and more homeowners are loving the idea of the tiny house movement. What's more, this type of kitchen table works incredibly well in homes with contemporary Asian or modern Nordic style.

The most common octagonal kitchen table styles are the following:

• Pedestal - This kitchen table style is designed in a way that the top is sitting on a base that’s at the center portion of the table rather than on four legs. Although it’s the most common style for roundtables, most octagonal kitchen tables that you’ll find online have a pedestal style.
• Farmhouse - Hardy wooden farmhouse-styled kitchen tables are made using wood with rough-hewn tops that are often distressed or unfinished. The octagonal top rests on X-base legs or turned wood as legs. This table style is best for kitchens or dining rooms with a casual appeal as it fits shabby-chic, cottage-style, and industrial décor.
