Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
These tables are ideal for the kitchen or dining room, and the traditional look involves a rustic wooden tabletop paired with metal legs and a metal frame. As these items can be quite expensive and you may have a tight budget, understanding what you need to consider in advance can be very helpful. Here are some points to help you along the way and ensure that you have the best possible chance of getting your ideal dining table.
The size of the dining table that you choose will depend on several factors. Not only should you consider the amount of space you have available in your kitchen, but you will only need to think about how many people there are in the household, or the purpose of the dining table. If you intend to host dinner parties and serve meals to guests around your new rustic wood and metal dining table, you will need to account for this and decide whether you want some extra seats.
Each seat at the table should be given around 2.5-3 feet of width space. For more comfort, allow more space than this – some dining tables have around 4 feet of space per chair.
One of the common errors which people make when choosing a dining table is that they measure the entire free area and forget about the extra space they may need. It is recommended that you leave around three feet of free space around the table if you want to maximize comfort and space.
The rustic wood which is used for the tabletop can vary in shade and style. Choosing the right wood for your home is important in order to get the right amount of lighting and to ensure that there are no clashes throughout the room.
Lighter wooden dining tables are perfect for smaller homes which may not get a huge amount of light. The lighter shade means that your home will look a little bit brighter.
Darker wooden tables are a good choice if you already have darker furniture in your kitchen or your cupboards and work tops are a dark shade of wood.
If you opt for a very rustic type of wood, you should find a metal which matches this. It's unlikely that you will find rustic wood paired with brand new metals, but this can contrast well with the older wooden material.
You shouldn't be afraid to consider bolder types of metal, such as rose gold. Some table frames you may see are designed using brass, and depending on your personal preference, you might like to have something a little different.
A key factor to think about is the aftercare for your metal frame. While simple metals can be cleaned on a weekly basis using a damp cloth, older and more delicate metals may require extra care and more frequent checks.
