Oak Dining Room Furniture Fine Dining For A Lifetime
The dining room is more than just another place for family meals. This room is an integral part of your home and needs to be furnished with as much care as other rooms of your home. The right type of oak dining room furniture can add a touch of grace and sophistication and add to the visual appeal.
Food is that which nourishes body and soul. Eating is a multisensory experience and should be treated as such. Much before the morsel enters the mouth your nose perceives the flavors while your eyes feast upon the colors and hues of the dishes on the plate. But all these senses are activated because of past memories associated with a meal and the dishes therein. A meal minus the memories is no meal at all. All this brings us to very important part of mealtimes – the setting. Dining room furniture is an inseparable component of this setting. Let us take a look at the finest among them – oak dining room furniture.
The tone of dining room furniture is set by the central characters – the actual dining set! A grand oak dining table with an appropriate number of chairs is the prima donna of all oak room dining furniture. The table can be polished for a sophisticated look or left ‘au naturel’ for a rustic feel. This explains the wide range of homes where oak can be used as the material for dining room furniture. The legs of the tables can be fashioned to make a statement in themselves. Just take your pick – straight or curved, plain or carved or just plain logs of oak, placed horizontally. As for chairs, the array is mind boggling.
Spartan designs for contemporary spaces and ornate ones for more formal dining areas. In terms of upholstery, you may choose to leave them bare or use fabrics like silk or satin for that touch of class. Leather or faux leather can be chosen as a via media between these two extremes. But upholstery detracts from the natural beauty of oak as a furniture material and needs to be kept minimal. Oak, like most beautiful women looks best without make up! Straight backs lend a formal feel while curved backs are great for comfort and support – think ergonomics.
oak dining room furniture routinely includes side boards, with or without display units. These are often fully or partially covered and used to store a display a fine array of crockery and cutlery. They make the dining area look less cluttered and save the hostess multiple trips to the kitchen during the meal. The units also add a sense of style to the area by displaying unique dining knick knacks and antique chinaware. Serving trolleys made of oak also make fleeting appearances during formal meals, often to serve appetizers and wines. Another typical piece of dining room furniture is the wine rack. The understated, sophisticated of elegance of wine racks made of oak is invaluable in showcasing the vintage wines in your collection.
Oak wood has a unique feature to it – the color of the wood undergoes natural changes with the passage of time. This adds a lot of value to oak as a furniture material and gives new meaning to the expression “ageing gracefully”. This further bolsters the natural strengths of oak in terms of long life and sturdiness, making oak dining room furniture an inseparable part of every stylish home.
