In today’s fast-paced world, it’s often difficult to get everyone to sit down in the dining room together. This has led to a more casual dinner experience for many families. If this describes your style, you might be wondering what type of furniture to get for your space. There are many options, and what’s right for you will depend on your typical mealtime routine. Here are three dining furniture options you might consider and some details about what type of lifestyle or living space is best for each.
Pub Table
Pub tables are often referred to as bar tables because they are the same height as tables you sit at when you sit in the bar area of a restaurant. They are 42″ high, compared to standard dining tables that are 28″ to 30″. These can be a great choice for outdoor patio seating, a small nook in the kitchen, or for those who are taller and require more leg room when seated. Keep in mind that you’ll also need bar height chairs or stools to match the height of your table! Nobody wants to be trying to eat their dinner at shoulder height!
Kitchen Table
The classic choice for most families is a full-size kitchen table. These often seat four to six, though many styles can be expanded as your family grows or when you have guests over. Although often thought of for a formal dining room, a kitchen table can also be a more casual option, especially since they are often used for more than just eating! These can be used in the kitchen itself, or to make the dining room into a more casual space if that happens to be your style preference. Finish the look with a rug underneath the table or a fabulous centerpiece on top to celebrate the seasons.
Dinette Set
A dinette set is the ideal choice for a small home because they tend to take up less space than the more traditional kitchen table. These often seat two to four people, so they are perfect for couples or small families. You can often find a dinette set in a corner of the kitchen for quick meals, or on a deck or patio for dining al fresco. Due to their smaller size, they tend to work well for casual environments which makes them the ideal choice for kitchen seating instead of a formal dining room.
