Sit Down And Think About Your Table And Chairs
Tables And Chairs
Once all the big things in your new kitchen have been decided on, you may just being able to picture yourself sat with a cup of tea, admiring your brand-spanking new space. But what are you sitting on? And what kind of table is your crockery being displayed on?
Picking the right furniture for your space will undoubtedly have a big effect on the overall personality of your kitchen, plus you’re going to be sat at it almost every day, so it’s important you get it right.
Easy option – For those who’d prefer to keep things simple, stick with the same finish as your kitchen units. Whether that’s white gloss, natural wood tones or something painted,
if you match them perfectly you can’t go wrong. It’ll look right at home and you won’t need to spend hours agonising over the whole thing.
Something unique – Instead of a like for like pair, why not try matching up a couple of contrasting tones. It’ll turn your new furniture into a real stand out piece; it can be really handy if you’re units are rather subtle and your room needs a focal point.
Distressed wood or coloured stains are great when trying to make a boring old table more interesting, regardless of its style. If your kitchen is full of rich, dark colours, considering whitewashing your old table and chairs to breathe a bit of new life into them. It’ll lift the entire room in a big way.
Let your creativity flow – The feature tables are really where it’s at. There’s a big market for reclaimed pieces that can easily be transformed into a hearty, fully functional family kitchen table.
One popular option is to get hold of some old railway sleepers and lash them together – they have their own character and with a little TLC they’ll look fantastic. Of course you can just pick up one that’s been pre-made already, like the one in the picture
On the other hand, of course, you can go for something a bit more robust and industrial. Metal tables and chairs are a big draw, though they tend to prefer bigger space.
If your kitchen more on the small side, you run the risk of it looking like patio furniture. Not good! Instead, go the whole hog and get something big and brash. It’ll really stand up to a lot of punishment too, so it’s ideal if you’ve got little ones in the family.
