The dining table is the big-ticket must-have item for your dining space. We’ve talked about maximising the layout of your dining room, which is closely related to the dimension and size of your dining table. Now the next task: choosing one. Where to begin? Here’s an easy guide and some of our favourite products in the market.
MATERIALS & FINISHES
The materials of your dining table directly correlate with its aesthetic and maintenance. Choosing the materials of your dining table is, therefore, a matter of balancing look and function.
WOOD
Choose all solid wood for a stately look or combine with metal parts for a lighter impression. Or choose sustainable engineered woods or composite materials made of salvaged wood like chopsticks for a unique look.

STONE
Marble is the most popular natural choice, which will fetch a heavier price tag. Go with engineered stones or compact surfaces for the look, durability and the degree of customisability.
