A hardwood dining table is a timeless piece of furniture that can serve as a focal point in your dining room. It’s where family and guests gather and where memories are made.
The natural beauty and durability of hardwood make it a recommended addition. Naturally Timber has these insider decorating ideas to help you incorporate a hardwood table into your home decor.
Choose Your Style
Hardwood comes from angiosperm trees such as oak, walnut or maple. It is also more complex and harder to work with than softwood, which makes it slightly more expensive but also more valuable and resilient to the elements.
For this reason, choose your custom hardwood dining table carefully, as it is a prime investment that can become an heirloom. Oak will go perfectly in a light dining room with its classic golden brown colour, but if you want something more intriguing, go for the chocolate-brown, purplish colour of walnut.
Plan Your Colour Pallete
Create a rustic charm by combining your hardwood dining table with natural colours. Get a bit whimsical and have fun with charming accents like woven chairs, farmhouse-style lighting, and plenty of greenery.
A custom hardwood dining table undoubtedly adds warmth to the room, so embrace warm tones by incorporating earthy colours in your decor—like different shades of browns, greens, and yellows—to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
Don’t Forget Maintenance
Having a hardwood dining table means taking special care with cleaning and maintenance for longevity. While adding this beautiful and valuable piece to your home can enhance its aesthetic appeal, it requires proper maintenance to ensure it remains in pristine condition.
To get the most out of your hardwood table, clean and polish regularly with gentle products that are suitable for your particular choice of hardwood. Use coasters and tablecloths to avoid stains from food and drink and avoid harsh chemicals.
