Although we choose our dining tables based on our own style preferences and practical needs, we also consider whether those tables are conducive to the experience we want to have there. We imagine our family and friends sharing stories and laughs at the dinner table, and we think about how special the holidays will be. If the purpose of your meal is hospitality, then whatever your style, pull up a chair and find inspiration at these tables for lingering (with dessert).
It’s an inherently comfortable and inviting aesthetic. Mix luxurious and comfortable armchairs with modern shell chairs around traditional farm tables for design depth and character.

When you’re hosting a large group, an oversized dining table is a must. A table that can accommodate 12 people will be eye-catching, so you can reduce the decoration. Tables with clean lines and classically comfortable chairs will satisfy you in this time to gather for a time to exchange stories and laughter.
This minimalist look is interesting because the streamlined and simple table is paired with curves and warm chairs. The streamlined aesthetic is refreshing and light. Sitting at this table, sipping herbal teas, and having intimate conversations with those closest to you is undoubtedly refreshing.
Industrial tables can look stylish in the loft of the city center or attractive among artisans in the suburbs. For a more comfortable and approachable feel, combine the plush texture with upholstered chairs and throws.
A rustic table can bring warmth to an otherwise charming room without compromising on sophistication. This “high-low” approach to interior design is the equivalent of statement earrings and white t-shirts in the fashion world. Elevate the look with eye-catching chandeliers and elegant chairs, a combination that will make guests feel at home.
When preparing meals for your guests, you’ll draw inspiration from your travels around the world. It’s your way of sharing your experiences with people you can’t carry. With your international menu and gathered décor, a simple lacquered tulip table could be the perfect base for your eclectic dining room.
It is a table suitable for a leisurely brunch gathering. Its simplicity gives room for playful décor and design details. It’s small enough to make everyone feel connected during a friend’s favorite weekend ritual, but also spacious enough for a laugh, a cup of coffee, a Bloody Mary, and a second serving.
The decoration of the coastal theme does not have to be too obvious. Express your love for the ocean with driftwood-coloured tables and chairs that are more modern than the beach. The rustic surface of the table hides any dents and scratches left by holiday guests on game night.
