6 Tips for Choosing and Styling Your Walnut Dining Table

Ready to choose your walnut dining room table? Let’s head into our top tips on how to choose and style your life edge dining room table.

When choosing your dining room table, it’s important to consider the shape and size. Taking measurements of your room beforehand is the only way to know for sure which length will best fit into your dining room.

2. Design of the Base/Legs

At Brick Mill Co., we offer an option of high-quality, locally sourced Cast Aluminium, U-Shaped, or A-Shaped legs on all of our dining tables. These options perfectly complement the intricacy of the top without taking away from it in any way.

3. Finish

Don’t think of walnut tables as mere slabs of wood. For an exciting take on your conventional table, you can add resin, concrete, and metals to the mix.

Whether you decide to add to your walnut dining table or simply choose to enjoy the eye-catching slab of walnut wood as it is, a beautiful, natural finish will allow the grain to shine through. We finish our dining tables with a stunning 0% VOC plant-based finish, so you can feel confident in putting our products in your home.

4. Lighting

You may not realize that lighting is the jewelry of your home, so don’t be afraid to go bold. Doing so draws more lighting to a table. For long walnut tables, consider a more linear chandelier or pairing two round chandeliers to elongate the table.

5. Accessories

When accessorizing, remember, a customized walnut dining table is truly a work of art, so avoid cluttering it. Simplicity is the way to go. You can accessorize with a row of plants in unique planters down the middle, a large eye-catching tray, or a unique sculptural bowl.

6. Chairs

Deciding on chairs to go with your meticulously handcrafted table can be a difficult choice. Luckily, tables can adapt to any decor, and most will look right at home with your woodsy masterpiece.

Upholstered chairs with similarly stained wooden legs can be a great addition to your walnut dining table, or you may even wish to try molded plastic or acrylic chairs. In addition, adding a bench can be a stunning, perfectly matched addition to your seating arrangement.
