An oak dining table is the perfect addition to any dining room, whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a family meal. At Pine Oak, our oak tables come in a selection of designs and styles that can be adapted to suit your personal style. To help you find the right piece, our experts have devised the oak dining table buying guide. Here you will find everything you need to know about creating the perfect dining room for you and your family.
Choosing Your Oak Dining Table
It is important to have a clear vision of your interior before you begin choosing your oak dining table. Your piece should enhance your decor, not detract from it, so take time to consider the following elements:
Does It Measure Up?
Always measure your space and remember your size limit. Your oak dining table should hold a strong presence in the room, without dominating it completely. Don't forget: if you find an oak dining table that is not the right size, Pine Oak may be able to custom build a design to your specific needs. To find out more, get in touch with our team.
Grand Designs
Think about the design of your table and how this will impact your dining room. Our oak dining tables come in a range of shapes that can be adapted to create your chosen style.
Do you want to try something traditional like a farmhouse oak dining table, or do you want to experiment with a contemporary design? To help you decide, try putting together a moodboard of oak dining tables; this will help to inspire a design concept for your dining room.
What's Your Style?
Your table should complement the colour palette of your dining room, as well as any other furniture you may have. Oak comes in a variety of shades, from fresh tones to dark, rich woods, so decide which colours will work to achieve your desired look. For example, darker shades of oak can be used to create a dramatic statement that will suit larger dining rooms, whereas lighter shades will open up space.
Oak Dining Table Style Notes
Once you've found your oak dining table, how do you use it to create a personal style? Oak is so versatile that simple accessories and styling can transform the look and feel of your home. Here are some style ideas for your inspiration:
Traditional Farmhouse Style
Create a cosy farmhouse dining room that is filled with rustic charm. This style works well with dark oak dining tables in traditional rectangle designs. To complete the look choose a rich colour palette, such as browns, reds and terracotta shades -this will add warmth and bring out the stunning tones of the dark oak.
Accessories: Go for detail and choose unique accessories that will add character. Candles, cushions, rugs and antique lamps will emulate the farmhouse look.
Contemporary Dining Rooms
Is your style more contemporary? Choosing a light coloured oak table with a strong, modern design will work well with contemporary dining rooms. This look is all about minimalism, so let your oak dining table take centre stage as the main focus.
Accessories: Choose strong and simple accessories, such as statement ornaments and unusual artwork.
Eclectic Dining Room Style
Mixing and matching styles can create a striking decor that really stands out. Why not try teaming a traditional-style oak dining table with contemporary chairs in bright colours? This is a chance to be creative and experiment to see what unusual combinations can be effective.
Accessories: Visit charity shops and markets to discover quirky, vintage accessories that will create a unique look.
