Transform your kitchen-dining room with a rustic plank table
Whether you live in a bright and modern home or have the perfect 60s villa, one thing is certain: a plank table can be a gift for your home. The plank table has a unique ability to bring soul and atmosphere to your kitchen-dining room, making the heart of the home inviting and a place you want to settle down.
There's no doubt about it: a bright, high-ceilinged, modern home and a rustic plank table are a perfect match. The opposites meet through the new and the old, the light and the dark, the airy and the solid, and make the angels sing. But your home doesn't have to be modern or high-ceilinged to support a plank table. A plank table - especially a rustic one - has the ability to transform any room by inviting nature in and bringing soul and atmosphere to the space.
The kitchen-dining room is often the heart of the home. It's a living space with room for everything from cooking, homework, cosy moments, guests and parties. It's a place for conversation, quality time, socialising or just being together separately. That's why it's essential that the kitchen-dining room is a place that attracts people, and a place where you want to sit down and hang out.
To achieve this, people often go all out - demolish the old kitchen and build a new one, build an alcove, lay a new floor and raise the ceiling if possible. And all of these things are definitely great initiatives that can bring a lot of good to the space!
But if you don't want to or can't raise the ceiling... If you're really happy with your kitchen and don't want to change it. If you like the spirit and history of your home and don't want to modernise it. Then a plank table can still be a gift for your home!
"We are now the happy owners of an absolutely AMAZING table. It creates a wonderful atmosphere in our kitchen-dining room and we are SO happy with it"
// Lene Christensen, 60’s villa, North Jutland
The rustic charm of a plank table brings character and soul to any room. While the abundance of natural materials invites nature in and soothes the soul, the rustic details add edge and personality. Together, this gives the plank table a magnetic effect that draws both body and spirit. It makes you want to sit down here; for dinner, for homework, for a party or for a good game of Yatzy.
A plank table itself can go a long way. Especially the rustic ones, like the table in this classic 60s villa.
This table is made of bulwark from decommissioned Danish harbours, and not only do the rustic details in the table top - and especially the table legs - bring edge and character to the home, but they also bring a sense of history and give rise to many admiring glances and conversations - both around and across the table.
