Chunky Pedestal Dining Table - Design Trend 2020

The new year always brings new trends to watch but a new decade, now that ushers in style to a whole new level. Chunky pedestal dining tables, on House and Home’s list of Top Trends for 2020, is a style choice we have always loved. A strong statement to anchor your dining space is a winning decor choice.

“Tables are getting grounded with substantial bases, and the benefit is clear: it’s a sculptural way to support the top. A pedestal base also means that diners’ limbs won’t need to jostle for space between the table legs.” - House and Home, Top Trends for 2020

On the practical side, a pedestal table allows for more seating and is perfect for smaller dining spaces and eat-in kitchens. Pedestal tables allow chairs to be tucked in neatly without interference from table legs. Aesthetically, a chunky pedestal is an artform; more interesting and luxurious than four table legs. A solid wood pedestal base can be designed to compliment a rustic, industrial, contemporary or traditional space. The mass of a chunky base and its presence in a room reminds us of ancient colomns and historical references providing a sophisticated look to a dining area.

Pedestal dining tables can be custom built from a variety of wood types with a round, oval or square top and a simple or ornate base. Let’s create your perfect pedestal table, then design the rest of the space around it!

The Colonial candle stand around the 1700s, was the original pedestal table.  larger formats found their way into dining rooms and parlours during the Victorian era.
