A table is much more than just a practical piece of furniture. It's the place where you gather, work, eat, relax, and shape your interior. That's why it's important to choose a table that suits your space, living style, and daily use. In the Tables collection from Mooier Thuis, you'll find a carefully selected assortment for various living needs: from large tables for families to compact models for smaller spaces.
If you're looking for a table for the dining room or kitchen, our dining tables are a good starting point. For the seating area, coffee tables and side tables are popular due to their practical size and decorative function. If you want a narrow table for the hallway, behind the sofa, or along a wall, check out our console tables. And if you're looking for more flexibility for dinner parties or visitors, extendable tables are a smart choice.
When choosing the right table, shape, size, and material play a significant role. A round table often provides a softer look and works well in smaller spaces or in areas where you want to move around the table easily. A rectangular table offers a lot of usable surface and is ideal when you need more seating. Oval tables combine spaciousness with a friendly shape and are popular in both modern and warm interiors.
The material also largely determines the aesthetic. Wooden tables provide warmth and character, while combinations with metal, glass, or ceramic often give a sleeker or more modern look. Also, pay attention to the proportion with other furniture in the room. A dining table truly comes into its own with matching dining chairs, while a coffee table fits nicely with a sofa, armchair, or rug. If you want to style your interior as a whole more strongly, also check out our dining chairs, benches and ottomans, and rugs.
Which table suits your interior?
Choosing the right table starts with the space where you want to use it. In a compact dining room or kitchen, it's smart to carefully consider walking space and size. In a spacious living room, you can play more with shape, material, and combinations of furniture. Also consider the function: do you primarily use the table daily, should it be low-maintenance, do you want extra storage space, or are you looking for a model that mainly adds atmosphere?
On this page, you'll discover different types of tables, making it easier to compare by style, size, and use. This way, you can purposefully choose a table that is not only beautiful but also truly fits your home and lifestyle.
Popular types of tables
Dining tables for daily use, dinners, and cozy moments at the table
Coffee tables as a practical and atmospheric base in the seating area
Side tables for next to the sofa, armchair, or as a decorative accent
Console tables for the hall, corridor, living room, or behind the sofa
In a smaller space, a compact table often works best. Round tables are popular because they appear softer and have no sharp corners, which makes movement more pleasant. A narrow console table or a compact side table is also ideal when you have limited space but still want to add extra functionality.
How much space do you need around a dining table?
For comfortable use, it's smart to keep enough walking space around a dining table. In practice, extra space is needed to slide chairs back and easily walk past the table. Therefore, don't just look at the size of the table itself, but also at the total available space in your dining room or kitchen. Our dining tables come in various sizes, making it easier to choose a model that fits well.
What is better: a round, oval, or rectangular table?
That depends on your space and preference. A round table creates a cozy arrangement and works well in smaller spaces. A rectangular table is practical if you want many seating positions or surface area. An oval table combines the soft appearance of round with the length of rectangular. Which shape works best, therefore, mainly depends on the layout of the room and how you use the table.
What is the difference between a coffee table and a side table?
A coffee table is usually central in the seating area, in front of the sofa or between seating furniture. A side table is smaller and more flexible in use. You can place it next to an armchair, sofa, or in an empty corner, for example. Many interiors combine both, so you have both a central piece of furniture and extra loose table space.
Are extendable tables practical for daily use?
Yes, especially if you want to be flexible with space. An extendable table is compact when you use it daily, but offers extra space when you have guests or need more workspace. This makes this type of table ideal for households that want to live practically without always having a large table in the room.
Which furniture combines nicely with a table?
That depends on the type of table and the space. Good dining chairs are indispensable with a dining table. Around a seating area, you often combine a table with a sofa, armchair, bench or ottoman, and a suitable rug. By carefully coordinating materials, shapes, and colors, more peace and coherence are created in your interior.
