Transform your dining area into a haven that reflects your style and functionality. With the right materials and finishes, your table becomes a cherished heirloom, witnessing the joys and milestones of generations. Many thanks to Jay Downey, Director of Interiors for Silver Collections and Beth Webb of WebbSmith Interiors for their valuable insights.

From toddlers wielding markers to hosting Christmas dinner, your dining table plays different roles in your household. Selecting a table crafted from durable materials that are easy to maintain ensures its longevity, allowing the piece to be enjoyed for generations. Jay Downey suggests investing in a solid hardwood table because it creates less headache in the long run as solid wood is less prone to cracks and warping than cheaper alternatives. You can increase the longevity of a solid hardwood table even further by choosing the right oils that allow you to spot-sand certain surfaces and rejuvenate the finish. 

A dining room table that fits your lifestyle should also fit the aesthetic of your dining space. Customizing a dining table allows you to pick the wood species, stain, and finish that matches your home’s wooden pieces and decor. Beth Webb suggests coordinating wood tones with other pieces in the room, rather than opting for the exact same tone. While the wooden pieces should remain in the same family, the contrasting tones keep the space aesthetically interesting.
