Functional Hints For Buying A Custom Designed Handmade Tables
Dining room tables, kitchen tables, side tables and conference room tables clearly dictate unique functions for use, as well as location and design. Craftsman who understand the different styles and designs of tables can expertly blend traditional and modern styles for any client's specific taste. All made from high quality natural woods, handmade tables are built to match any dining room set, living room theme or bedroom furniture.
When you look at your dining room, clearly the central focal point of that room should be the dining room table. Professionals prefer to use natural maple, cherry, or walnut woods when creating any kind of dining room table because of natural wood's ability to draw people together over a meal. And unlike factory-made tables, handmade tables can be custom designed and built to suit your unique style.
The Shaker style trestle table was originally made to be a conference table for a local law firm, but this table represents perfectly the beautiful flexibility of Shaker styles that can be modified for almost any other use. It can be transformed into a beautiful dining room table because of the traditional boat-shaped edges, which draws the attention of the group to the middle of the table and encourages conversation.
Another style, the Queen Anne style, is often made from tiger maple wood and is made more modern by combining other natural woods into the design. Rubbing the tiger maple with natural oils accentuates the natural grains and movement in the beautiful tabletop. Unlike run-of-the-mill dining room tables, this table immediately becomes an understated focal point of the dining room because of the dark walnut spoon-foot base.
The Lacewood side table is another excellent example of a Queen Anne style table that is made modern by using a variety of natural woods as accents. You can easily add a splash of style and grace to any entry way with the Lacewood side table because of its warm honey top and contrasting spoon-foot base made from a dark walnut wood. Although the table is slight in its build, Lacewood tables are not flimsy; in fact, they are quite durable because of their mortise and tenon joinery and pegged base feet.
Farmhouse tables made from cherry wood is a timeless traditional style that originated in the 1800s. Still popular today, cherry wood is prized for its natural tendency to darken over time with frequent use and exposure to sunlight. The three-inch turned legs and tenoned aprons ensure that your table will withstand the wears and tears of any size family - young or old! This heavy table is a staple for any dining room, and its simple elegance will agree with a wide variety of personal styles and home dcor preferences.
As far as dressing tables for the bedroom, nothing is more versatile and functional as the Mission cherry dressing table. Without consuming much space in the bedroom, a handmade Mission dressing table provides two drawers for organizing jewelry or knickknacks, as well as a hammered-brass mirror-mount. Cherry handmade dressing tables gently add a touch of beauty and simplicity to a bedroom without detracting from the center of attention: the bed.
Although they cost more than factory-made furniture, there are many benefits of investing in a handmade table that you will not find in a factory-made table. Hand crafted tables are much sturdier than factory tables because they are made from the finest quality wood. Studio furniture makers prize themselves on their abilities, and they do not take shortcuts when creating something they will put their name to. Second of all, instead of settling on a factory-made table that might not fit your style or living space, working with a studio furniture maker will ensure that you end up with something that is just right for you. Last but not least, factory furniture is often times not built to withstand the realistic demands that you and your family will put on the piece of furniture.
Discussing with an artisan furniture maker what handmade tables you like, the dimensions you need, and the shade of wood you prefer will allow you the freedom to design your ideal dining room. Buying a handmade table ensures that your table will last for years to come. The dining room is one place in your home you will visit and revisit day after day, and adding your personal touch to your family's table will make that experience even more enjoyable!
