Fact – An extendable table is a great investment piece no matter the size of your home because the truth is we all need some extra elbow room now and then, whether that’s at dinner parties and family festivities, or to make space for work, crafts and other table-top activities.

4 Bdesign tips to think about before making your purchase
- Size does matter
The most important thing to bear in mind when choosing an extending dining table is dimensions. Before you buy, carefully measure your room to work out the size of the table you need, accounting for both the extended and non-extended lengths of the table. You should allow at least 90cm extra space on each side of the table for chairs and guests. - Plan the whole space
Take all the furniture in the room into consideration. If you have a sideboard or bar cart against the wall, measure 92 cm out from that piece of furniture. A design plan is key. - Think of all occasions
For the most versatility, choose an expandable table with leaves that will allow you to seat more people when company comes, but feel more spacious when it’s just your family. - Buy smart
For a square room or small space, consider a round pedestal table, which takes up less space and is easier to walk around. For tight spaces, consider creating a dining nook in a corner with banquette seating lined up against 1 or 2 walls, or use benches, which can slide under the table when not in use.
BONUS! Wondering what your seating options are?
If you’d love to give your space an on-trend look, consider introducing a bench. If positioned next to a wall it offers not only a very unusual and eye-catching decoration solution, yet also allows greater flexibility when it comes to seating space. Speaking of chairs, remember, not only should the chairs be comfortable, but they should also complement your table design, either contrasting it or, on the contrary, blending in with the table.
