One house, a few people, three meals, four seasons,

Eating is also an art!

Some people can get up an hour earlier, make a nutritious and delicious breakfast, and chew it slowly;

Some people buy a few steamed buns on the roadside and eat them while walking, wolfing them down in order to sleep for half an hour longer.

Some people go home after get off work and cook a few dishes, unloading the fatigue of the day at the dining table; some people go home, fall on the sofa and start ordering takeout~

There is no good or bad, everyone has their own different lifestyle.

Today, the factory manager will talk to you about the furniture that is inseparable from eating: the dining table ! A spacious, comfortable and warm dining table, where the family eats three meals a day, is a gift of life and the meaning of home.

The dining table is so important that many homeowners who are buying furniture for their homes hesitate when choosing a dining table:

For your dining table at home, should you choose a round table or a long table?

Which material and size are most suitable?

Don't worry, we will analyze them one by one, and you will have the answer after reading them.

Let's talk about the first topic first:

Dining table, should I choose a round table or a long table?

If I don't consider any other conditions, I will answer you without thinking: round table !

Why?

In many people's memories of growing up, there is a round table.

At that time, although I didn’t understand why the adults would spend so much time together for meals during festivals, I can clearly remember that everyone sat around the round table, toasting and chatting animatedly.

Secondly, the circle has always been a traditional symbol of Chinese culture.

The round table represents reunion and perfection. We humans have an indissoluble bond with circles. Bowls are round, pots are round, the heads of chopsticks are round..., the sky is round and the earth is square, and food is the most important thing for people.

Back to reality, let’s see what are the advantages of round tables and long tables?

Let's talk about the round table first: with the same space, the round table can accommodate more people; and everyone has the same seat, so everyone can be seen from any position, which is lively and gathering; you don't need to cross the river to pick up food, and you can avoid the embarrassment of standing up to pick up food because you can't reach it...

As for the long table , it is more suitable for the interior layout of current real estate, because many restaurants in commercial buildings are long and narrow with small area. The long table is more versatile and can play its advantage of adapting to irregular space.

After understanding their respective advantages, you still have consider the following three points comprehensively:

1. Restaurant size.

The round table has stricter requirements on the size of the restaurant.

It is best to be close to a square or large enough. Taking a common round dining table with a diameter of 1.4 meters as an example, the table size plus the seating space has a span of about 2.6 meters.

In addition, the space of the aisle on one side must be added, which is calculated as 0.8 meters, that is, the total width is at least 3.4 meters, in order to accommodate a 1.4-meter round dining table for 6-8 people.

If your home is not big enough but you prefer a round table, don't force a big table or it will end up blocking the entire dining room.

If it is a rectangle and the area is less than 8 square meters, a long table is recommended.

2. Home style.

The most popular styles at present are minimalism, light luxury and modern style. Compared with round tables, long tables are more suitable: long tables have a sense of lines and are mostly tough in shape . Although round tables can also be matched, the options are far less than long tables.

The characteristics and feeling of the round table make it more suitable for the neo-Chinese style and Chinese style. It is grand and full of meaning, and in line with the habits of Chinese families.

Some people say that round tables are also common in French and American styles, but long tables are still the main dining habit in the West. Besides, fewer and fewer people choose this European and American style.

3. Personal preference.

This is the owner's own subjective will, and the factory manager believes that this is more important than the first two to some extent .

A piece of clothing is good, the designer says it is good, the store says it is good, and your friends say it is good, but you just think it is ugly and awkward in every way. At this time, do you listen to everyone's opinions or stick to your own feelings?

Smart people will choose the latter!

Because you spend your own money to wear it, if you think it doesn't look good or feels uncomfortable, why should you still pay for it?

Similarly, the dining table is a piece of furniture that we use and see every day. If we don’t like it or it doesn’t look good to us, then it loses half of its value... After all, your home is your own .

One more thing to add : We previously shared that we took the number of people eating out into consideration, but now we think that this item does not need to be considered deliberately!

Because even if a large round table is bought for a home with two people, it is reasonable. If a large round table can be placed, it means that the restaurant area is large. If a small table is placed in a large area, it will not match.

Besides, who says that two people can't eat at a large round table? I think it's very good, because it's spacious.

Second point, what material and size are most suitable for the dining table?

Regarding materials, the current mainstream ones are: solid wood, rock slabs, marble, glass , etc.

Among these, the material that makes people feel most comfortable is solid wood . Wood comes from nature and is warm and simple. If there are elderly and children at home, wood is the safest, most environmentally friendly and healthiest choice.

Solid wood dining tables can fit almost any space, depending on their shape.

The slate and marble dining tables are eye-catching in the light luxury, minimalist and Italian style , but the inherent coldness seems to lack some fireworks. When the arm touches the table, it should be soft, not cold.

Therefore, the factory manager recommends that you choose solid wood dining tables first . If you have a higher budget, you can consider North American black walnut, ebony, ebony, etc. If you have a low budget, you can consider South American walnut, red oak, ash, ash, maple, etc.

If you choose a rock slab, the recommended price is above 4,000 , otherwise what you might buy home is just a large ceramic tile. Marble is naturally more expensive.

What size dining table is suitable for your home?

Here are some>

The diameter of a household round table is generally 1.2-1.5 meters, and the length of a long table is mostly 1.2-16 meters. The size of a long table should not exceed 1.6 meters unless necessary.

Detailed suggestions:

1. The dining table should not have outward eight-legged shape;

2. The corners of the table should be rounded, not right angles;

3. The shape of the table legs should not be exaggerated, and it is best to use a design that does not block the legs.

4. Do not choose a multifunctional dining table unless necessary.

Well, the above is the discussion and sharing about round dining tables and long tables. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
