Dining in style with OMEO
Olivia O. gives us her expert advice on how to choose the perfect dining table for your space.
Consider your needs before settling on shape

Everything happens at the dining table: eating, working, talking, doing homework, catching up with friends, love and more…. No other piece of furniture knows you better. As an interior designer I always recommend my clients to consider some core factors when choosing a dining table.
A good table should last a lifetime. For me, the best dining tables get better with age and use and are made from materials that do just that. The number one rule: Your dining table has to fit your dining area as well as your own style.
“A dining table is a deceptively large piece of furniture, and you need to account for space around it, to. We always recommend three feet of breathing room on all sides — and more is better — to comfortably sit in a chair and move around the space, therefore OMEO always offers a range of bespoke dining chairs that will perfectly fit each space”, says Olivia O.
OMEO’S FAVORITE FIVE
( 1 )
1. The Omeo Table
“We have this lovely very sculptural dark rectangular table with inserted porcelain tiles in a black marble finish. Porcelain is much more resistant while marble easily gets damaged and stained so this table is just perfect for spilling wine and all those crazy family dinners”.
2 & 3. Natural Materials
I almost always settle for our Brutal Beauty Table. For this collection, OMEO worked with wood, copper and gold to create a series of pieces that combine harmony through intersection. “I just feel that it gives such warmth as well as personal style to any outdoor space. I tend to like either a very sculptural dining table with tons of presence or a vintage table that is approachable and casual. I love the rescue of old-growth woods that have outlived their time and to reimagine them as modern furnishings for a next generation to enjoy. Our OD Table (2) does just that.”

4. Make it Personal
“I always name the homes I create specific names that represent them. That’s also how I started designing unique pieces for each house.” The purpose of the OMEO Signature
Collection is to offer a tailor-made service. By choosing bespoke products, a space can be more individual and creative. For this specific line of tables, clients can choose any initials they prefer.
5. Elegant Lines
“For the Marbella Modern family life
I really prefer a square or rectangular table. I always go back to my roots of designing something elegant with simple lines in black & white that does not feel too precious. I love our OMEO Elegant Lines table. It has the most beautiful simple white table top. Simple is
often times harder to find than you would think.”
