Luxury dining tables, because of their size and striking design can often be a defining feature of a home. High-end brands recognise this and have elevated the simple table into extraordinary pieces of design with timeless elegance, quality craftsmanship and innovative use of different materials.
Glass dining tables have introduced a new dimension to the construction of what is traditionally a bulky and prominent piece of furniture, by bringing light, brightness and visual openness to luxury dining rooms.
Glass is naturally delicate and sleek with a small visual footprint, making it very popular in minimalist design. Even though the material seems fragile, modern treatments render these items very durable and able to withstand prolonged use. Glass-top tables offer an unparalleled ability to blend traditional hospitality with contemporary elegance, making them ideal as a statement piece in high-end homes that want to project timeless sophistication.
For over 50 years people all over the world have fallen in love with glass dining tables because of the elegance and modernity they feature.
Glass dining tables are prized for their sleek appearance and ability to reflect light, making a room look bigger and brighter—a definite plus in a smaller space. Glass can highlight the best aspects of your dining area, complementing multiple decor styles with its clear transparency and adding a crystal-like touch of glamour and luxury to any room.
Although there are some disadvantages to choosing a glass-top table including its fragility, how easy it is to make it dirty and the possibility of irreparable heat damage, it’s hard not to appreciate the simple refinement of a sparkling glass dining table.
Tempered glass can withstand a reasonable amount of compressed pressure; but it can still be damaged by impact and heat, both of which can easily happen during food preparation or serving.
This can be avoided if you invest in a high-quality table with Italian glass or any other type of strong and durable glass.
Cleaning a glass table is simple and easy, but you may need to clean it more frequently to maintain its dazzling appearance.
A well-designed and well-placed dining table is vital to a cohesive and functional home. Having a place to perform everyday tasks like eating and hosting special events simplifies your life and the flow of your home. A bespoke glass dining table seamlessly transforms from a centrepiece for elegant dinners without much effort. On its own, a glass table is a decorative fixture that doesn’t require styling to suit your theme. A glass dining table is the chameleon of dining tables gracefully conforming to any space and occasion without decorative interference.
Glass dining tables come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs, each with its own benefits. The five most important things to think about before choosing a new dining table for your home are where the dining table will be placed, what function it will serve in the space, how much room you have for the table and how much space you need at your table, what shape table best suits your home and your needs and of course what style.
Whether you have an abundance of space and even a whole room dedicated to dining or you’re working with a multifunctional room or small area in your home, the size of your dining table definitely matters. A large dining table can typically seat six or more while smaller dining tables can be designed to accommodate two to four chairs.
The reality is, that the best quality marble requires little to no maintenance, as long as you follow certain steps to care for it.While it is tempting to get the biggest table you can fit into your space, you should also keep in mind how functional the space will be with a full contingent of guests at the table. Make sure that there will be room to comfortably walk around the room and consider also that you may want to utilise the space for other functions, or upgrade it with a credenza or sideboard. Maximising surface space does not always mean the best use of the area. Extendable glass dining tables are a great innovation for houses with smaller dining areas, but larger entertainment areas that can cater for larger crowds.
Fewer and fewer people enjoy the luxury of a designated dining room with homes becoming smaller and modern architecture favouring more open-plan designs.
Where your dining table is going to be placed is an important factor in whether or not a glass dining table is the right choice and what particular type would be best. Where you intend to place your dining table will determine how it’s used. How often it's used and so influence your choice of shape, style and size, as well as how you decorate and incorporate it into the larger styling of your home.
According to our interior design team, glass dining tables look best when placed near a window, under a skylight or under a statement-making chandelier. This is because the beauty of the glass really shines through in well-lit areas. However, it’s more important to ensure that the placement you choose does not cause any obstructions in terms of the flow of traffic and everyone can comfortable be seated.
A round glass dining table is the best combination of practical shape and artful play on light for a space-saving table that creates the appearance of more space without compromising on style.
Round tables are popular not only for their organic shape but also because they can accommodate more seats without appearing to take up more space.
Large round tables also benefit from more versatile seating arrangements that accommodate more guests when needed while also not looking like there are glaring open seats when used by fewer people. However, the biggest social benefit of a round table is the easy flow of conversation without a designated head of the table. This democratic seating has been proven to be beneficial to a more casual flow of conversation.
There are also benefits to a more traditional square or rectangular table. Boasting sleek lines further emphasised by the clean elegance of glass.
Glass is a versatile material that can conform to many different styles and designs. The table top can be cut into many different shapes, including other materials and even tints, but the base of your table is equally important especially since it can be seen while you’re away from the table, but also while you sit at it.
There are a variety of glass dining tables available, some having glass insets, a designer combination of materials or simply glass on metal or wooden legs.
Elevate the elegance of your glass dining table with bespoke bases crafted from hand-carved marble, artisanal wrought iron, or sculptural wood designs—each a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship. Simpler bases can also be chosen to suit less elaborate styles with a greater emphasis on the beauty of the glass itself. One of the reasons glass tables remain popular so long after they were first considered trendy and modern is because they are so adaptable.
A dining table can be and often is functional even outside of mealtimes.
Whether it is being used as a display surface with an arrangement of flowers at its centre or a functional and decorative runner for a splash of colour and protection.
Simplicity is key and less is definitely more when it comes to glass allowing its natural beauty and effortless elegance to be the main focus, playing on the other decorative elements of your room and easily complementing them through contrast or simply blending in to minimise visual noise.
