As the beating heart of the home and the epicentre of family reunions, the dining table has long held a place of importance. Finding the right table for your space can come with its own share of considerations, and oftentimes can quickly become overwhelming. Of equal importance, form and function both lend credence to your selection. Here are 10 things to consider before making a decision.

A candle-lit dinner is romantic, but it won’t always cut it in the dining room. While your lighting choice should be functional, it’s also a great way to turn your dining table into the focal point of the space. Think of your lighting as a halo that goes over your dining table. The right lighting fixture can add a sense of luxe to your entire set up, lending ease and elegance. Consider pendant lamps, chandeliers, or statement light fixtures, all of which can shroud your space in ambient light while also allowing your dinner guests to see what they’re eating.
