Pub Table Chic

It’s understandable that at this time of year, most everyone’s mind is on entertaining. And, especially if you live in an apartment or condominium where space is at a premium, you’re probably wondering where you’re going to put everyone. At MorePubSets.com you’re sure to find some seating solutions that will not only get you through the holidays, but will be useful year-round when you gather with family and entertain friends for whatever reason or occasion.

Pub tables aren’t restricted to restaurants or other commercial settings anymore. Partly a sign of the fluctuating economy and just the general rising costs of everyday living, more people are staying in and entertaining at home. The growing decorating trend of furnishing a family room, living room or den with a home bar, a pub table and barstools is a reflection of the current economic climate.

Turning an unused corner of your home into a place to gather with family and friends is a practical way to increase the versatility and functionality of your living space. It’s as easy as choosing a pub table and matching barstools or the perfect pub set to make an area more usable and guest friendly.

Pub sets are available in a wide range of styles and materials, from ultra-modern to contemporary to traditional. Generally round or square, a pub table usually seats two or four people. Pub tables are typically higher than dining tables or counter-height dining tables (also known as gathering tables). Dining tables stand about 30 inches high while pub tables range from 40 to 42 inches in height. When selecting matching barstools, keep in mind that to be seated comfortably at the table, the stools should be 10 to 12 inches shorter than the pub table.

When selecting a pub table or a pub set, decide if you want it to blend with your existing décor or if you want your pub set to “stick out” and make a statement. Have some fun; pick a theme and transform part of your family room into a trendy wine bistro with the Tempo Napa Pub Table or a great place to play a game of pool with the Tempo 8-Ball Bar Height Pub Set.

Since space is hard to come by when planning a Christmas get-together or other holiday gathering, adding a pub table or pub set to the room in your home where you’ll be entertaining the most is a practical way of getting the more mileage out of your living space. For Christmas meals when your dining table shrinks as the number of people increases, it can also do double time as the “kid’s table” (you know it will be called that even though adults will be sitting at it). If you want to create a comfortable place for your guests to “perch” while they snack on appetizers and other Christmas goodies, MorePubsets.com can help.
