Are you looking to update your dining furniture or furnish your new home with specially sourced pieces? The process of choosing a dining table is special because it significantly impacts your home’s style and functionality. At Nordic Design, we understand the importance of finding the perfect piece and are here to guide you through the journey.
Locally Crafted Dining Tables
Locally crafted here in Adelaide, all our dining tables are constructed using natural materials and traditional crafting techniques. This ensures a high-quality finish and longevity of your piece. Quality is paramount, but we also recognise that design and function are equally important and personal. This is why we individually craft each dining table from scratch, allowing for customisation to suit each client’s unique needs.
Key Considerations for Your Dining Table
Size
Determining the best dimensions for your dining table involves several considerations. Start by assessing the overall size of your dining room and how your complete dining suite will fit. Begin with the table, then add chairs and consider how much additional space these will require.
Remember to allow plenty of room for guests to pull their chairs out. We suggest at least 1 metre between the table edge and the wall or adjacent furniture to ensure a comfortable dining experience. This also provides ample space for guests to move around the room.
If you’re uncertain about the size, consider an extendable dining table. This option is ideal for daily use with the flexibility to expand for special occasions. Our extendable tables maintain a designer look with a seamless, easy-to-use mechanism, ensuring no strain on the table or user. These tables offer a truly personalised experience, perfect for those who enjoy entertaining and need additional dining space.
Consider if you need to accommodate additional dining room items such as a buffet or wall unit. Our experienced staff will happily guide you through the options before you commit to a final design and size.
Design
Choose from our standard designs, create your own from scratch, or mix and match styles. We can craft traditional rectangular dining tables or more contemporary shapes like round or square tables.
Your dining table can be made to match other dining furniture such as chairs, buffets, and wall units. Have a complete setting crafted at the same time to ensure a matching timber selection, or allow us to closely colour match existing furniture items in your home for a harmonious finish.
We can craft your table to incorporate contemporary or traditional finishes based on your preferences. Consider slim lines and tapered edges for a modern look, or features like a pedestal base and rounded corners for a traditional style. We can also accommodate designs based on existing chairs or other dining furniture.
Timber
At Nordic Design, we pride ourselves on using hardwood timbers for our dining tables. We embrace natural materials and emphasise organic grain variations in our designs, ensuring our dining tables are sturdy, long-wearing, and unique to each client.
We offer a large selection of timbers including Tasmanian Blackwood, Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Mountain Ash, Western Australian Jarrah, Tasmanian Silver Wattle, and American Oak. If you have existing furniture pieces you’d like to match, our specialist polishers can closely match colour tones.
Your timber selection will also impact the overall feeling of your dining setting. Darker timbers with strong character details like Blackwood and Jarrah are often chosen for traditional homes, while lighter selections such as Mountain Ash or Oak are preferred for a modern style with softer grain variants.
Customisation
Customisation means creating a dining table that meets your individual requirements for style and function. While we offer a range of existing designs, we understand that sometimes you have a specific vision that can’t be found in a showroom. Tell us your preferences and let us mix and match design components to achieve exactly what you envision.
You can combine different elements from multiple designs to create something unique. Pair one table base with a different tabletop for a new look, or modify an existing design by incorporating contrasting elements like a black base with a timber top, or adding rounded corners for a softer finish. There are no limitations to your design options, so speak with our experienced staff to establish the perfect balance for your dining table.
The Process of Creating Your Perfect Dining Table
The journey of creating your custom dining table begins with talking to one of our friendly and knowledgeable showroom members. During this phase, our experienced team will discuss your needs, preferences, and the specifics of your space. We’ll consider your lifestyle, the number of people you typically entertain, and any existing décor you wish to complement.
Once we’ve gathered your requirements, we will begin the design process. This stage is crucial for ensuring that every detail meets your expectations. After the design is finalised – standard or completely custom, we select the timber. Our selection process emphasises the quality and character of the timber, ensuring that each piece we use enhances the table’s aesthetic appeal and durability. Whether you prefer the rich hues of Tasmanian Blackwood or the light, airy tones of Tasmanian Oak, we ensure that the timber we use meets the highest standards.
The crafting phase is where our traditional techniques and modern precision come together. Each table is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that joints are seamless, edges are smooth, and finishes are flawless. Our craftspeople take pride in their work, treating each table as a work of art.
Once your dining table is complete, we invite you to our showroom for a final inspection. This allows you to see and feel the quality of the piece before it’s delivered to your home. We believe that seeing the finished product in person reinforces the value of choosing locally crafted, bespoke furniture.
