Dining Tables Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decorate a dining room table?

An easy way to decorate your dining room table is by adding a stylish table runner or placemats to create a focal point. Creating a centrepiece, using a vase with fresh flowers or a decorative tray with candles, can enhance the overall look. For a more personal touch, mix and match dinnerware, glassware, and napkins that complement your dining room’s theme.

Where can you buy a dining room table?

You can buy a dining room table at Homebase, either in-store or by shopping our range online. We offer a variety of styles, sizes, and materials to suit any space and taste.

How high is a dining table?

Dining tables typically have a height of around 70-75cm (28-30 inches), which is the standard for comfortable dining room seating and dining. Homebase offers a range of dining tables in various styles, all designed to fit standard dining chairs, which are usually between 40-50cm (16-20 inches) high.

How do you paint a dining room table?

To paint a dining room table, the first thing you need to do is thoroughly clean the table with wood cleaner or sugar soap. Then remove any of the existing finish with sandpaper before applying a primer. Once dry, use a durable paint suited for wood or furniture, applying thin, even coats. You can seal it with a varnish or wax for added protection.

What size dining table should you have for 8 people?

For seating 8 people, you'll need a large dining room table with a length of approximately 180-240cm (6-8 feet), depending on whether it's a round, rectangular, or extendable dining table. Homebase offers a range of 8-seater dining tables in various styles and finishes.
