Más información sobre Design tables
We offer an exclusive selection of contemporary, elegant tables, designed to be the perfect complement and enhance the beauty of your home. With our tables, transforming your gathering space into a warm, functional setting is easy.
At Exento we understand that a design table is not just a piece of furniture, but a central element that defines the character and atmosphere of a space. That's why our catalog includes every type of table: dining, coffee, outdoor, and design side tables. Modern or vintage-inspired, extendable or fixed, in materials ranging from wood to metal, glass, or high-pressure laminate (HPL).
Design tables are the centerpiece of any home. They differ from conventional furniture through their shape, material, or finish, and don't just serve a practical function: they add aesthetic and decorative value that defines the character of a space. Paired with good design chairs, they can create unique, cohesive spaces.
By shape and function, there are dining, coffee, side, and outdoor tables, each with its own requirements for size, resistance, and maintenance. We cover them below, along with the practical sizing and care guide our interior design team applies to every project.
Dining tables are the centerpiece when gathering with family or friends. There are four main shapes: round tables encourage conversation and avoid dead corners in compact rooms; rectangular ones are the most versatile and fit more diners; oval tables offer good capacity with smooth circulation around them; and extendable tables adapt their size to the moment — compact for everyday use, full-size with guests.
Our interior design team typically calculates between 60 and 70 linear cm per diner, with a minimum margin of 90 to 100 cm between the table edge and the wall or next piece of furniture, so chairs can be pulled out comfortably.
Coffee tables sit in front of the sofa or armchairs, serving as a place for books, magazines, or drinks, while also acting as the living room's visual focus. Round tables are safer with no sharp corners — recommended if there are children at home or the walkway is narrow. Rectangular tables suit sofas with three or more seats. Square tables work well facing L-shaped sofas. And there are also irregular-shaped models for those looking for a piece that breaks up the usual composition.
As a reference from our team: coffee table height should sit close to the sofa's seat height, with a margin of 35 to 45 cm that works well with most standard sofas, without intruding on knee space when seated.
Side tables complement main tables, usually placed next to the sofa, bed, or an armchair. The key difference from a coffee table is use: the coffee table holds a fixed, central place in the living room's composition, while a side table is designed to move as needed — pulled closer to a reading chair, placed by the bed as a nightstand, or used as extra support when guests arrive and surface space runs short.
It's also the more practical choice in small apartments or rooms with limited walkway space, where a fixed coffee table would be too bulky. If you're specifically looking for this type of piece, we have a full collection of design side tables, with its own materials and format guide.
Outdoor tables belong in the garden, terrace, or balcony. They need to resist moisture and UV radiation, be durable, and easy to clean. They can be round, rectangular, square, or extendable, though the required materials differ from indoor pieces: aluminum and treated teak age best with the least maintenance, while tempered outdoor glass needs more frequent cleaning to avoid limescale and dust marks. If you're specifically looking for this option, we have a collection of outdoor design tables with more detail on materials and resistance.
Each material determines the table's look, resistance, and the maintenance it will require over time:
| Material | Main advantage | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Fine wood | Warmth and timeless look | Periodic finish care; avoid excess moisture |
| Tempered glass | Visual openness, ideal for small spaces | Easiest to clean day to day |
| Metal (steel, aluminum) | Industrial character, very resistant | Avoid abrasive or acidic products |
| HPL / Ceramic | High resistance to scratches, heat, and stains | Minimal upkeep, suited to heavy use |
There are also pieces that combine materials — ceramic over a metal frame, or HPL fused with wood or glass — designed for those seeking a finish outside the usual range.
Our online store offers a selection of design tables in different types, materials, finishes, and styles. We work with brands such as Andreu World, Enea, Expormim, and MDD. Every product page includes exact measurements, materials, and finishes, so your decision relies on concrete, verifiable data rather than generic photos.
How much space should I leave around a dining table?
Between 90 and 100 cm between the table edge and the wall or another piece of furniture, so chairs can be pulled out and people can move around comfortably.
Is an extendable table worth it over a fixed one?
Yes, if the number of diners varies regularly — between everyday use and weekend family meals. If your dining room always seats the same number of people, a fixed table offers greater structural stability for the same budget.
Which material is better if I have kids or pets at home?
HPL and ceramic resist knocks, heat, and stains better than wood or glass, making them the more practical choice for intensive daily use.
Do outdoor tables also work indoors?
Structurally, yes, but they're built for tougher conditions than a living room requires — not the most efficient choice if the table will always stay under a roof.
