You do not need a professional to tell you that kitchen tables, dining room tables, side tables and conference tables all serve different purposes. Although you intuitively know this, you may not have thought about what features makes a high quality table, regardless of its specific use and function. As styles and trends become more modern, skilled craftsmen are combining styles and textures to produce unique pieces of handmade tables to match any room or style.
The central piece of furniture to any dining room should be a handmade dining room table. Made from natural maple, walnut or cherry wood, professionally hand-crafted dining room tables will draw a family together for any holiday feast or casual get-together. Unlike factory-made tables, a handmade dining room table can be made to fit your family, space, and design preferences.
The Shaker style trestle table was originally made to be a conference table for a local law firm, but this table represents perfectly the beautiful flexibility of Shaker styles that can be modified for almost any other use. It can be transformed into a beautiful dining room table because of the traditional boat-shaped edges, which draws the attention of the group to the middle of the table and encourages conversation.
Another style, the Queen Anne style, is often made from tiger maple wood and is made more modern by combining other natural woods into the design. Rubbing the tiger maple with natural oils accentuates the natural grains and movement in the beautiful tabletop. Unlike run-of-the-mill dining room tables, this table immediately becomes an understated focal point of the dining room because of the dark walnut spoon-foot base.
The Lacewood side table is another excellent example of a Queen Anne style table that is made modern by using a variety of natural woods as accents. You can easily add a splash of style and grace to any entry way with the Lacewood side table because of its warm honey top and contrasting spoon-foot base made from a dark walnut wood. Although the table is slight in its build, Lacewood tables are not flimsy; in fact, they are quite durable because of their mortise and tenon joinery and pegged base feet.
A timeless traditional style that originated in the 1800s is the Farmhouse style dining room table, which is still widely popular today. Made from cherry wood, these tables are coveted for their tendency to naturally darken over time, only adding to their value. You know they will withstand the test of time - and children! - because of their three-inch turned legs and tenoned aprons. A heavy table for sure, this piece of furniture will be the centerpiece of your dining room, and the style will agree with most people's styles.
As far as dressing tables for the bedroom, nothing is more versatile and functional as the Mission cherry dressing table. Without consuming much space in the bedroom, a handmade Mission dressing table provides two drawers for organizing jewelry or knickknacks, as well as a hammered-brass mirror-mount. Cherry handmade dressing tables gently add a touch of beauty and simplicity to a bedroom without detracting from the center of attention: the bed.
The benefits of a purchasing a high quality, handmade table definitely outweigh the financial setback of investing in an excellent piece of furniture that is built to last. Factory-made furniture, unfortunately, cannot be made to be as sturdy as custom-built furniture, and you shouldn't have to sacrifice style for the convenience of an out-of-the-box, do-it-yourself table. A studio furniture maker ensures that your table is not only beautiful and well-suited for your needs, but it is also made to withstand the realistic use and abuse it will receive over the years.
Discussing with an artisan furniture maker what handmade tables you like, the dimensions you need, and the shade of wood you prefer will allow you the freedom to design your ideal dining room. Buying a handmade table ensures that your table will last for years to come. The dining room is one place in your home you will visit and revisit day after day, and adding your personal touch to your family's table will make that experience even more enjoyable!
