Oak Tables

More about Oak Tables

If you have a table that’s going to see a lot of use, something for all your meals or just to kick your feet up on while watching the telly, you’re certainly going to want it to be durable and easy to take care of--and gorgeous, naturally. That’s why we love tables in oak, a hardwood that’s ideal for long-lasting, ravishing furniture.

If you’d like to create a rustic vibe in your dining room, an all oak table is just the thing. The fine grain looks stunning with the gentle weft of wool placemats and runners and cleaning up messes is a breeze, since oak is actually naturally very antimicrobial. If you’re looking to put on a swanky evening with charcuterie, your spread will look stunning on this table on bamboo serving trays. One last suggestion: make sure you choose a stain that will complement the rest of the room, e.g., a lighter stain to match with seating in bright colours.

Oak also works well in conjunction with modern design elements like metal and glass. Try an oak coffee table with thin black steel legs for an excellent blend of textures in your living room. This looks especially great in a room with a fireplace, matching well with that combo of wood and metal. Or use a smaller table in a modern design in the bathroom, where it’s sure to look fab with the stainless steel fixtures and monochrome tile. Unlike other softer woods the oak will stand up well to the humidity of the room, too.
