Kitchen Tables

How big is your family? If you live alone or if you're a couple, look at a small café table with a pair of comfortable chairs. If you have a growing family and believe that more is merrier, you may want to look at kitchen table sets with a round or oval table; it lets you squeeze in a folding chair or two because they don't have corners. Look at your space and try to envision the tabletop at different levels. We're all familiar with standard-height tables, but you can look for one that's counter-height, or even a tall, pub-style table.

After you decide on the size and shape of the table, you can start looking for your kitchen table set. This is where your sense of style and your personal preferences come into play. Do you have traditional décor? Are you looking for Shaker, Country, Victorian, Mid-century Modern, Scandinavian, Mission, or European design? You can find a wide choice of sets in wood in various finishes. If you want to add a natural material to your kitchen, you can select a kitchen table set with a marble, granite, tile, or slate top. Some designs integrate stone with wood for a handsome look.
