Factors to Consider When Requesting Custom-Made Dining Room Tables
Your dining table is one of the most important elements of your home in establishing its style and ambience. Consequently, custom dining tables are a popular and important purchase for home owners who understand the need to get their choice absolutely right.
Customisation is crucial when you seek a luxury piece of modern dining room furniture that will elevate your living space and make it the perfect entertainment spot.
This process can be completed in two ways. Either you can take a beautifully designed piece by a respected operator like Davidson London and add your requirements to make a bespoke table. Or we can design a stylish and sophisticated table to your requirements.
Even then, however, there are several factors that must be taken into account when creating custom-made dining room tables. They include:
Choice Of Materials For Custom Dining Tables
When selecting your table, take into account the way it will blend in with, and complement, your existing décor. The material used to construct the table is key, but so are the finishes and features.
Will a high gloss or satin finish work better with the surrounding environment? Is there a high level of natural light that could lead to fading of darker natural colours in any upholstery used, or wood finishes? Do you want a glass top on your table? There are many questions to consider when finalising your materials.
Have You Selected Your Dining Chairs?
The width of your dining chairs, and the breadth of the place settings they accompany, is an important consideration for custom-made dining room tables.
A place setting 500 millimetres wide is far more cosy and snug than one of 700 millimetres, which may suit you if you are planning more formal occasions around your new table. As you can imagine, however, that will make a considerable difference to the ultimate size of your piece. Which leads us on to…
How Many People Will Be Seated?
The number of people who need to be accommodated around your custom-made piece of modern dining room furniture is a critical factor. It will affect the size taken up by your table, and its final proportions.
For instance, you could seat 12 people around a table with five down each side and one at each end. Or three on each side of a square table. At Davidson London, we have designed a table to seat 48 diners. With custom dining tables, the numbers need to be right.
Does Your Table Need To Extend?
One option for custom dining tables is to build in the ability to extend it for special occasions when a large number need to be seated. But you need to decide whether or not the leaves are built into the table, or are to be accommodated elsewhere in your dining room.
Custom dining tables require extensive research and insight in the creative process. Consult Davidson London when you need expert assistance in ensuring your dining room has the furniture – and luxurious ambience – you desire.
