Vintage dining table

Vintage furniture is making a comeback. Timeless in its aesthetic, it allows you to create personalised and original décor in your living spaces. A true return to the roots, these pieces are often crafted from wood or metal. Beyond their durability and longevity, what we love most about vintage décor is the emotion it evokes. Dining tables, sideboards, and chest of drawers are key pieces in any home, and opting for vintage is an excellent way to create a unique atmosphere. However, the choice of furniture is just one aspect; lighting, wall colours, and small decorative elements also play a vital role in achieving a harmonious look and an authentic retro feel.

How to choose a vintage dining table?

The dining table, the central piece of family or friends gatherings, is the main feature of the dining room and the piece you must get right. Opting for a vintage-style table can be a great way to bring charm and character into your space, but you need to know how to choose it. With its authentic character and the emotion tied to old pieces, the vintage choice is increasingly embraced in homes. And for good reason, vintage tables are mainly made of solid wood and/or metal, offering simple and minimalist shapes. Scandinavian-style dining tables are the most renowned, minimalist and functional, easily adapting to any interior. The country and industrial styles, on the other hand, offer thick, robust tops with a more defined character. Today, you can find retro style in every design imaginable, the key is to choose the style that best suits your interior, depending on your existing décor. You can opt for a product made from recycled wood with a weathered finish, or second-hand items from the previous century.

Also, know that touch-up crayons or waxes for wooden materials are available to repair scratches and other marks.
