Make a Statement with a Stylish Table
If you're lucky enough to have an eat-in kitchen, dress it up with a stylish kitchen table. Choosing the right table and accessorizing it can turn your kitchen into a show-stopper.
Table Styles
A farmhouse kitchen table is a great choice. It gives you the warmth of wood and the heft of large, chunky size. It's a natural in a traditional farmhouse or cottage kitchen. Make it rustic with reclaimed wood or keep it smooth and polished. You can also go for dramatic contrast by placing a farmhouse kitchen table in an elegant kitchen. Paint it to add a pop of unexpected color.
Sleek, shiny tables with modern lines also make a strong style statement. You can find this type of modern table in metal or in painted wood. Try a mid-century modern table to add elegant seating to your modern or vintage-style kitchen.
A metal table adds a sidewalk cafe' vibe to your dining nook. Whatever style you choose, keep the cabinets and accessories in the same style.
The Right Shape
What shape is best for your kitchen table? That answer will depend on the space you have and the use you'll be getting from your table.
Round. tables give a cozy, intimate look to any space. Set your round table in a central location or tuck it into a quiet corner. Use an eye-catching light fixture or area rugs to draw attention to the table.
Rectangular tables are practical for dining. A long table can look striking as it runs across your kitchen. It can also serve as an extra counter or work area. Square tables are a good choice if you have some space to fill your kitchen.
Stylish kitchen tables pull your whole kitchen look together and make it a pleasure to be there. With the right table, you'll want to eat in every night.
