Behind the Scenes

A Table is often the centerpiece of the room it sits in, but a room is about so much more than the furniture in it. A room is a place to come together. At Loewen Design Studios, a table is about a place to come together too.

We make custom tables so they can be perfect not only for your room, but for your gatherings.

For example, we made a low large coffee table for someone who wanted to do puzzles with their grandkids. It was made so the kids could sit on the floor, and all build the puzzle together. The large space let a lot of people gather around it, and the square shape let them all have about the same reach to the middle of the table. It was a table designed not simply for the space, but also for what they wanted to do with the space.

This is so much of why we design and build custom tables. Not only because a space may need a custom table to fit. Because sometimes what you want to do requires a little bit of custom. So your dining table can be build just for how you want to use it, perfect for you, and your home.

A World of Color and Texture: Imagine walking into a dining room where every detail tells a story. Maximalism is like a burst of creativity on your table – it's about embracing vibrant colors, rich textures, and unique patterns. It's where your table isn't just a piece of furniture, but a canvas for your personality. At Loewen Design Studios, we want your table to fit into your space perfectly. That's why we will customize most any part of your table to get you a perfect fit. 

Finding the Perfect Table: Picture a table that catches your eye and holds your attention. It could be a bold live-edge table, showcasing the untamed beauty of wood like the Jasper, or a flamboyant piece with ornate details like our Walnut Pedestal Table. It’s not just about eating; it's about experiencing. We specialize in creating statement pieces to be the heart of your maximalist dining room.

The Art of Mixing and Matching: Maximalism is the freedom to mix eras, styles, and textures. Imagine combining a sleek, modern chair with a rustic, hand-carved table. It's about creating a symphony of styles that somehow harmoniously coexist in your space. 

Balancing the Boldness: While maximalism loves excess, it also respects balance. It's like conducting an orchestra where every instrument has a role to play. Your statement table can shine, but it doesn't have to shout over the decor. It's about finding that sweet spot where every piece contributes to a cohesive whole. Matching a table like the Glenbow with subtle chairs can really make the table shine.

Pedestal tables are a gorgeous and practical addition to your home! Let's explore the pros and cons of a pedestal dining table.

Minimalism is an aesthetic that our customers have appreciated for the past few years, and our table styles reflect this. Here are some suggestions for your minimalist table design!

Hi I'm Josh Loewen and I love oval dining tables. There I said it.

Ovals are great tables for conversation. Whether it's sitting along the curve of an ellipse or the end of a racetrack, it's easy to chat.

A lot of different aesthetics and styles could suit the same space. Let's walk through how three kinds of tables could suit the Loewens' kitchen space!

Let's imagine for a moment, it was August, you confidently told your whole family that they should come to your home for Christmas dinner.

So this is relative to the size of the table, and a little bit about your taste. The longest a bench like this should be is the length of the table. This gives a bit of a picnic table look, especially with a bench on both sides. Another option for a bench is 12 inches or 1 foot shorter than the length of the table.

A Trestle Table is typically a table with 2 legs connected by a stretcher. The 2 legs hold the table up, and the stretcher (or stringer) supports them both structurally and visually.
