Whether gathered at the kitchen table for family meals, or over coffee with friends, you are in a place of comfort and good will. Kitchen tables and chairs are an extension of your personality and decorative style.
In The Round
Round and oval kitchen tables and dinette sets allow the most seating options because there are no corners to get in the way. Round is romantic - the circle is continuous, as are family and friends. Round tables that extend into ovals present the most versatile options.
Squaring Off
Square and rectangular kitchen tables take a bit more space, and due to corners, create a definite seating pattern. Square tables are established, concise, and all about order as they establish a head of the table and prominent seating at the table.
Materials and Craftsmanship
One major rule: the wood of your kitchen table should match existing woodwork and cabinetry. Otherwise, mixing and matching, combining metal and glass with wood and accentuating with hand-painted pieces is stylish. Hardwood kitchen tables are rich and quixotic. Intricate table and chair legs and carved backs and edges define your style, and glass tabletops protect your investment. Metal and combinations of metal and glass give the room an artistic voice; designs are elegant and ornate. Rattan kitchen tables and chairs with glass tabletop and accenting chair cushions are cool and casual.
Your Style Horoscope
Are you traditional, lost in the jazz of older styles? Then you prefer lighter wood finishes and curved designs and appreciate the era that created these kitchen tables and chairs. Traditional folks have an appreciation for antiques and colossal colonial pieces. If you are contemporary, you are in tune with what is new and modern. You like dark wood, black finishes, and lines that are smooth and sleek. Metal and glass are your accents, and you know how to emphasize with lighting. Contemporary designers understand the necessity to accentuate, and add touches from art nouveau and retro kitchen table and chair collections.
