September 1, 2015 · oldbarnstar · 2 min read
During the holiday season, dining becomes the center of every celebration whether you’re with family or friends. And when we say dining, we mean feasting! Many of our holiday traditions include gathering around the dining room table, so when it comes to transforming our everyday dining space into a feasting space, things can get a little complicated. We know you’re probably having fun in the sun and want nothing to do with the holiday season, but we’re planning ahead this year to help create the picture perfect scene so when you’re ready to set up your holiday feast you can do it with ease and in style.
How to Pick a Barnwood Table for the Holidays
Your dining table will be the center of attention in a few months for your cookie swaps, Friendsgiving, family feasts and cocktail hours. Our barnwood tables are loved by Old Barn Star fans for creating a warm and cozy dining setting while still staying true to the classic and traditional styles we have always treasured. To create your perfect, custom-made barnwood table in time for the holiday season, here are the top 3 factors to keep in mind: 1. Room size: First, measure the room where the barnwood table will go. You want to make sure the table will fit comfortably, without hitting any walls. In addition, choose a table width that allows everyone to pass plates around. You know everybody will be eager to eat all the delicious holiday trimmings, so you don’t want anything getting in the way.2. Guest count: Next, take the guest count into consideration. On average how many people will be attending some of your holiday festivities? You want to make sure everyone has enough elbowroom when sitting down for a meal.3. Table aesthetic: Lastly, you’ll need to decide on the shape of table that will work best for your home. A round table opens up conversation, whereas a rectangle table may seat more.
