Rectangular Dining Tables

Modern Rectangular Dining Tables for Dining Rooms, Kitchens and Breakfast Nooks

Kitchen and dining tables are the focal point of the dining room. In the place we gather for meals and games surrounded by friends and family, modern dining tables are communal pieces of furniture. As a result, the table you choose should comfortably accommodate your family and guests. One way to do that is to consider the shape of your dining room table. As you shop for your table, you’ll want to find a shape that's conducive to your space and hosting needs. We love rectangular dining room tables because their straight edges allow you to place them against the wall to save space or pulled them out to accommodate an extra guest or two. The linear shape of rectangular dining tables also allows for maximum seating, giving you the flexibility to invite as many people as you want for your next dinner party. Available in a variety of modern profiles, sizes, and quality materials like wood, marble and glass, there is a modern rectangular dining table for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen table or find a new statement piece.

Styling Rectangular Dining Tables

As the centerpiece of your eating space, your dining room table sets the tone of the entire room. If you're looking for a modern dining table that has a classic look, a rectangular dining table is a great option. When choosing a rectangular dining table, it's important to take into account the size of your dining room. You'll want to make sure that the table is big enough to comfortably seat all of your guests, but not so big that it dominates the space. In a kitchen or small dining area, a small rectangular dining table that seats 4 or fewer is perfect. If you are really tight on space, you can place it against the wall and maximize space. If you have an open dining space, a large rectangular dining table that seats 8 or more people is a great choice. Once you determine the correct size, next focus on the style. For a minimalist look, pair a wooden dining table with acrylic armless dining chairs to minimize visual clutter. If modern glam is more your style, pair a marble dining room table with velvet dining chairs for an opulent look. No matter what style you choose, anchor the dining room with a statement pendant light and curtains to raise the eye. Don’t forget to accessorize your tabletop with decorative bowls, placements and table runners to finesse the look.
