Dining table

Dining table for kitchen and dining area

The dining table is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the home. Not just because it's where we gather with our family in the morning to start the day together. It's also at the dining table that most people socialise with friends and acquaintances over a good dinner or a few glasses of your favourite drink. Your dining table is a centrepiece of your home and a piece of furniture you will use day in and day out, for years to come.

That's why it's important to find the right kitchen table for your kitchen or dining table for your dining area. A table that looks good, fits in with your existing décor and is just the right size for you, your family and your guests. At Hulténs you can find kitchen tables in all sorts of sizes, from classic round dining tables for 4 people to modern variants that can be folded or pulled out to create space for over 12 people.

We have dining tables in both classic and modern designs

In homes that are classically decorated with a lot of wood and pervading traditional interior design choices, the easiest thing is often to choose a kitchen table that fits in with the existing style. A square or round wooden dining table with 4 legs in the same colour as the kitchen cabinets is often a typical choice. However, something that more and more people have started to do lately is to have a piece of furniture that stands out, a detail that is completely different from the rest of the room. This will give your room a unique look and can take it from traditional Swedish to modern and fresh.

You could, for example, choose a table in dark walnut when you have off-white kitchen cabinets like some of our models from Skovby. Or create a really big contrast with a colourful table from Fatboy. Your kitchen and dining area is where you will spend hours every day, often with your neighbours and loved ones, and that's why you want the perfect table for you and your home.

Which dining table height and size should you choose?

When choosing a dining table, it's just as important to consider the size as the design or material you choose. Something that many people wonder about is how tall a perfect dining table should be. A general rule that is often followed is that a dining table should be 72-75 centimetres high. But it all depends on which chairs you want to match your table with. If you have really high chairs, you will of course need a high table. Our kitchen tables and chairs can all be matched with each other, just make sure to pair right with right and left with left.

How big your dining or kitchen table should be is another important thing to consider. How many people should sit at the table? Are you a small family but often have guests? Or do you live alone and only need 2-4 seats? How many seats you need is important when choosing the size of your new dining table. Then, of course, the table must also fit where you have planned to have your dining area, so also think about measuring the floor space where the table will be placed.

Dining table inspiration – Complement the dining table with beautiful furniture

It's not just the dining table that makes a dining area complete. You'll need comfortable and stylish chairs to sit on, perhaps a brightly coloured roof lamp above the table and a beautiful rug to bring the dining area together and give it a more homely feel. Here, too, you can choose to either have a consistent design with pieces that match perfectly and complement each other. Of course, you can also choose to create an interesting contrast with a colourful rug under a classic coffee table or chairs with leather upholstery and a metal table.
