From the amount of time we’re spending at home now, the idea of upgrading old furniture like dining tables
is crossing many minds. As we bond with families over dinners and gather with friends at parties,
a dining table is essentially a recorder of all our good memories.
Nothing else in a living room showcases your style more than dining tables. What’s more, the right dining table
shapes the atmosphere in a room and determines whether you can get comfortable in it. The trouble with
picking them goes as you have to consider your style, design and functionality all at once, along with the final
and most crucial question: can your table transition with your space and design smoothly in the future?
To save you from the trouble, we’ve gathered tips and tricks on picking your very own dining table.
Read on to see Commune’s recommendations for all dining-table seekers.
1 | 實用性
1 | Functionality
雖然餐桌的美觀性對整個家居風格都有關鍵作用，但香港家居面積普遍有限，切勿只選擇空有外表的餐桌。
若餐桌同時也是你工作的地方，又或是家中較多人同住，你便要選擇表面空間夠大、夠寬敞的餐桌。
這樣進食時才有充足位置放置菜餚、餐具，多人同坐時亦不會太擠擁，工作時亦可將文件、電腦等妥善放好。
Surely we all want luxurious and designer-looking dining tables. But with limited space in most flats,
you should spend more effort learning about your options besides their good looks.
If your dining table also serves as your work desk, or you’re living among a big family, a larger,
wider table would be your best choice. This way, you get enough space to place your meals, utensils,
work files and laptops without dealing with any mess.
Commune’s Pick: Bruno Dining Table
這款Bruno 餐桌的桌面有180 X 90 cm，能夠給予你充足空間擺放菜餚，再放上餐具、
紙巾盒等所需物件都沒有問題。這張餐桌適合四人同坐，人與人之間亦可留有適當活動距離。
另外，其寬大桌面亦適合作為工作桌，做功課或工作報告時都能更得心應手。
Commune’s Bruno Dining Table with a table top of 180 X 90 CM gives you enough space for everything you need.
With its wide side, you can fit four people in it and still have spacious seating for everyone. A large table top
allows its multiuse for work, study and even group discussions.
2 | 餐桌大小
2 | Size
在購買餐桌前，記得先檢查清楚餐桌尺寸，看看餐桌與飯廳或客廳大小是否符合。
若你的家屬於Studio型，或客廳地方不大，家中又不多人同住，可考慮選擇體積較小的餐桌或咖啡桌，最重要是符合自己所需。
Before making a purchase, make sure to check the table size and see if it fits your living room dimensions.
If you’re living in a studio apartment, or has a smaller living room, you may consider a smaller dining table or even a coffee table.
Commune’s Pick: Scotch Round Table Combo Set
家人只有二人同住的你，不妨考慮這款Scotch圓桌組合。體積較小的它連餐椅一同擺放都不會
太佔用位置，小小桌面剛好可讓二人一同共進晚餐，又不怕客廳放不下那麼多家具。
If you’re living in a small flat, we’re happy to recommend the Scotch Table Set for you. This small set is ideal if you
don’t want something that takes up too much space. The round tabletop is perfect for a dinner for two with your loved one.
3 | 餐桌形狀
3 | Shape
一般來說，你可以選擇圓形或方形餐桌。方形餐桌比較節省位置，可以靠牆擺放，
整體感覺較有現代格調，但有些人可能會不喜歡棱角；而圓形餐桌就較適合多人家庭，
方便大家都能夾到桌上的菜餚，感覺較為低調和諧，但就會佔用較多空間。
Most of the time, your choices are between round and rectangular tables. Rectangular tables are more space-saving
as they can be placed against the wall. They usually give a more modern vibe as well. For those who are avoiding
having cornered furniture, round tables are your better choice. Round tables give a more warm, harmonious feeling,
and are better for big families to share. The obvious downside is that they take up more space.
Commune’s Pick: Westland Round Dining
想購入圓型餐桌的你，這款Westland 會是你的理想選擇。直徑135cm的桌面可讓你
一家人圍席而坐，其自然流暢的線條亦非常適合歐式家居設計。
If you’re interested in round tables, our Westland Round Dining is your ideal option. With a diameter of 135 CM,
your entire family can sit comfortable around it. Its clean, smooth lines are promised to brighten up
your living room with an European style.
Commune’s Pick: Volta Dining Table
這款Volta餐桌十分適合家中有小朋友或老人的家庭，既有方型餐桌的廓形，但圓潤四角又不會造成傷害。
值得一提的是，它特別結合了黑胡桃木實木和真皮兩種材質，為現代風格帶來新鮮感，實能成為客廳的矚目之處！
For families with children and elderly, our recommendation is the Volta Dining Table. With it, you enjoy the
space-saving benefit from its rectangular outlines, and yet is promised safety and comfort with its rounded corners.
Take a special note of its elegant combination of American solid walnut wood and leather upholstery.
This piece is deemed to be the attention-grabber of your living room.
