A rustic, yet stylish, country table makes a kitchen, dining or living room feel warm and welcoming, and light and airy, as if the room is in a farmhouse. Country furniture is typically made of wood, with some pieces constructed of metal, and they look as if they were pieces handcrafted in an era of yesterday. The average height of a country table is a typical height for tables used for different purposes. Does this Spark an idea?
A Kitchen Table
A country table used in a kitchen has an average height of 30 inches. This height can vary either from the length of the table legs, especially if they are custom made, and also from the thickness of the table top. Custom table legs may be legs fashioned specially for the table, or pieces that had a different use that have been re-purposed into table legs. Old wooden posts from a fence, thick tree logs or a rectangular base constructed of old wood boards, may become a part of the table.
Besides a standard table top, one for a country kitchen table can be fashioned from an old door. Constructed of heavy, sold wood, an old large door has the thickness of a substantial table top, with the width and length to accommodate large meal preparations and a big country breakfast with the whole family.
A Dining Room Table
In country design, a table is a table. So a dining room table's average height is the same as the kitchen's, 30 inches. The table selected for the dining room will look a little more formal than the one in the kitchen, since this is the one reserved for formal suppers and for welcoming guests. Still with its stylish, rustic appearance, the dining room table can also have a farmhouse appearance of old, hefty wood boards connected together and set atop a sturdy base. The table settings and decor dresses up a country dining room to coordinate it with the decor of the space.
A Coffee Table
The average height of a country coffee table is about 2 feet. This height varies often since coffee tables are sometimes replaced with old chests, benches, tree trunks and woven baskets with lids. In country design, using unconventional pieces in formal ways is what gives a room its attractive appeal. For a coffee table solution, a country one may be an old wooden coffee table, a rustic style coffee table constructed of bare pieces of unfinished wood, or any piece of furniture or decor that is sturdy enough, and high enough, to function as a coffee table.
End Tables
Even in country design, the average height of end tables will be about the height of the couch or chair's seat. This height is about 2 feet tall, but may vary based on what is used as an end table. A country-style end table will have this height, but an old telephone stand, tray stand, planter, stack of old suitcases, barrels or bins used as end tables may measure more or less than 2 feet in height. The use of tables in country design is all about attaining the desired function with old pieces that find new or perpetual use in the space.
