The Best Extendable Dining Tables for Victorian Terraced Houses
The extendable dining tables that suit Victorian terraced houses best are usually rectangular or oval, narrow enough to leave a clear walkway when closed, and fitted with a mechanism that opens without moving the table away from the wall. Victorian terraces were built with tall ceilings, slim rooms, chimney breasts and sash windows, so the table has to respect a long, narrow footprint while still looking at home beside period features. In this guide we explain how to measure a back reception room or knocked through space, which shapes and leg styles work around fireplaces and alcoves, and how wood, glass and stone finishes sit alongside cornicing and original floorboards. We also cover butterfly leaves, end extensions and seating capacity so you can host a Sunday lunch without permanently giving up your floor space. Whether you live in a classic two up two down or a larger bay fronted terrace, these ideas will help you choose with confidence....
