The purpose and function of a table influence its visuals

When designing a visually appealing table, it's crucial to consider the purpose and function of the dining table. The role of the table will influence the design and stylistic choices you make because different tables serve distinct purposes.

A dining table, for instance, is often larger and more formal than a coffee table and frequently serves as the room's focal point. To add elegance, you might wish to design your dining table with high-end materials like marble or glass. Additionally, consider adding decorative details such as table runners or placemats to enhance the table's visual appeal.

Choose a suitable table size and shape

Choosing the right table shape and size is crucial in creating a visually appealing dining table that complements your space. The size and shape of a table affect the usability and overall aesthetic of a space.

Different table shapes, such as round, square, and rectangular, can create different moods and feelings in a room. Round tables are perfect for creating an intimate and cosy atmosphere, while square tables can add a modern and contemporary touch. We recommend the Skorpio Keramik Round Fixed Table by Cattelan Italia. Rectangular tables are often used for formal settings and can create a sense of grandeur and elegance.

When choosing the right size for your table, it's important to consider the available space and the function of the table. A larger dining table may be suitable for a larger dining room, while a smaller coffee table may be perfect for a more intimate space. Additionally, consider the height of the table to ensure comfort and functionality.

At FCI London, we offer a wide range of table products and collections to suit any interior design needs. For example, the 1460 Fontana Dining Table by Draenert offers a range of beautifully designed glass dining tables that add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any room. Additionally, our brilliant collection offers a range of wooden tables that are perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Go for the best tabletop material

The tabletop material can affect the functionality, durability, and overall aesthetic of the table.

• Wood: One popular tabletop material is wood, which can add warmth and natural beauty to any room. Wooden tabletops come in a variety of finishes and styles, from rustic to modern, making them a versatile option for any interior design scheme.
• Glass: They are perfect for creating a sleek and modern look, and they are easy to clean and maintain.
• Marble: This luxurious material can give any table a touch of grandeur. Marble tabletops are available in several colours and patterns, from classic white to dramatic black, making them a stunning focal point in any room.
• Metal: Since they give any space a sleek, industrial feel, metal tabletops, those made of brass or stainless steel, are a popular choice for modern interiors.

When choosing the material for your tabletop, it's vital to consider the style of the space and the function of the table. A wooden tabletop may be perfect for a rustic or traditional setting, while a glass tabletop may be more suitable for a modern and sleek space. Additionally, consider the durability and maintenance requirements of the material.

At FCI London, we have a unique Vertigo Dining Table by Silvano Luxury that offers a range of stunning marble tabletops that are perfect for creating a luxurious and opulent atmosphere. Additionally, our Cattelan Italia collection offers a range of modern and sleek glass and metal tabletops that are perfect for catalysing the visual appeal of your dining tables.

Add Decorative Accents

Adding decorative accents is an easy and effective way to enhance the visual appeal of your dining table. To add colour, texture, and interest to your table, utilise accessories like table runners, placemats, and centrepieces.

Table runners come in several colours, patterns, and materials, such as linen or silk, to suit any design scheme. Centrepieces, such as flower arrangements or sculptures, are perfect for creating a visual focal point on your table and adding a touch of grace to your space.

Use other decorative accents to enhance the visual appeal of your table including candle holders, napkin rings, and decorative plates or bowls. These accessories add a touch of glamour and luxury to your dining table while serving a functional purpose.

At FCI London, we offer a range of table products and collections that feature various decorative accents to meet any visually appealing table demand. Our Connubia Calligaris collection features sleek and modern table runners and placemats while the Eichholtz Bonheur Ø 130 Cm Dining Table offers stunning glass centrepieces perfect for creating a glamorous and luxurious atmosphere.

Focus lighting

Lighting is a crucial element in interior design and can greatly impact the overall look and feel of a dining table. The lighting can highlight the beauty of the table, enhance its aesthetic appeal, and create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the space.

Different lighting options can be used to enhance the visual appeal of a table, such as pendant lights, table lamps and candles. Pendant lights can be hung above the table to create a dramatic effect and add chicness.

Table lamps, on the other hand, add a warm and cosy ambience to the table while also providing functional lighting. Candles are perfect for creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. It adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the space.
