subject: Three Great Ways To Use Dining Tables Outside Of The Dining Room [print this page] Are you someone that thinks that dining tables are only for use in the dining room? Not so, dining tables are actually very handy things to have throughout the rest of the home.
Dining tables make excellent desks in home or work offices. Made in larger sizes than most purpose built desks which can be far too small you can buy a stylish dining table to add some designer style to your work space.
In addition to being a great replacement for traditional office desks, rectangular & oval dining tables are also useful in the conference room & square tables are good as meeting tables in your office.
Not only will you end up with a better decorated home office, dining tables are usually just as practical as the other, less attractive choices and available in a mind boggling selection of designs.
if you are contemplating binning your no longer needed dining table the garage is often a great place for an old table you no longer need. Unwanted dining tables can be used for wallpapering & can be much more sturdy than a shop bought wallpapering table & are often a perfect height too.
Also, an unwanted table is great for putting pots of paint & containers of nails etc on, or even as a work surface for cutting or drilling if it's not glass. Just the right height for a work bench, a spare dining table is always useful in a workshop.
If you are a keen 'crafter' & are fortunate enough to have your very own area a great way to use an old dining table is as a sewing or craft table. Large, flat & solidly built, plus of course the right height for sitting or standing at, your unwanted dining table can provide a fantastically roomy place to do crafts or sew, there's room at the back of the top for storage & lots of space to spread out on.
Different zones can be created on it, for example if you need an area for pinning simply glue some felt to the top of the table & you have a non slip surface that is perfect for sewing preparation.
Re-using an unwanted table like this means that you get a larger space to work on, & are less worried about marking it.
There are many other ways you can use dining tables throughout the home, whether you are recycling an old table or buying a new one to use instead of another piece of furniture.
