The Belmont Extending Dining Table — a welcoming setting for gathering together.

Christmas has a way of drawing everyone towards the table. It is where we catch up over breakfast, gather for the much-anticipated Christmas lunch and linger long after dessert. With favourite dishes passed around and another chair pulled up, it becomes the heart of a home filled with family and friends.

Choosing a dining table is about more than making space for one special meal. It is about finding a piece that suits your home throughout the year, with the proportions, flexibility and style to welcome everyone when the festive season arrives.

At La Residence Interiors, our exclusive oak dining tables combine timeless design with thoughtful craftsmanship. Whether you prefer the versatility of an extending table or the character of a traditional fixed design, these five pieces offer a beautiful starting point for Christmas entertaining.

01 / A Warm Welcome

Belmont Extending Dining Table

An intimate Christmas Eve supper or a few extra guests for Boxing Day? The Belmont Extending Dining Table makes it easy to adapt your dining space as plans unfold.

Handcrafted from our signature weathered oak, the Belmont brings natural warmth and understated elegance to the room. Its concealed extension leaf offers welcome flexibility, allowing you to make more room when family and friends come together.

The beauty of an extending design is how comfortably it fits into everyday life. Enjoy its smaller proportions for relaxed meals, then extend the table when the occasion calls for a more generous setting.

For Christmas, add greenery along the centre and introduce warm metallic accents through candle holders. The oak’s natural grain and character provide a beautiful backdrop for your festive table.

For a Christmas celebration with a longer guest list, the Sherborne Extending Dining Table brings generous proportions and traditional elegance to the occasion.

Handcrafted from high-quality oak, its two intricately carved pedestal bases give the design a distinctive presence. The natural grain and texture of our signature weathered oak create a centrepiece that feels warm and welcoming.

With two extension leaves and seating for between eight and twelve guests, the Sherborne offers flexibility for everything from family dinners to larger festive gatherings. It is a table made for bringing people together, with room for conversation to flow as freely as the food.

03 / Make Space for More

Brunswick Extending Weathered Oak Dining Table

Christmas plans rarely stay small for long. The Brunswick Extending Weathered Oak Dining Table offers exceptional versatility for homes where the number around the table changes throughout the season.

The larger Brunswick features four extension leaves and comfortably seats between four and twelve guests. A smaller version seats four to eight with two extension leaves, offering the same flexibility for a more compact dining space.

Elegant hand-turned fluted legs bring detail to the silhouette, while the carefully wire-brushed oak top celebrates the texture and grain of the wood. These considered touches give the Brunswick a timeless quality, equally at home in a country kitchen or a more formal dining room.

Keep your festive styling adaptable, too. Several small arrangements placed along the centre can be repositioned as the table extends, making it easy to leave space for serving dishes.

Its timeless silhouette works beautifully in both a formal dining room and a relaxed kitchen setting. Available in different sizes, the Belvedere allows you to choose proportions that feel right for your home and the way you enjoy it.

Pair this dining table with the matching Belvedere bench for a welcoming arrangement, or choose upholstered dining chairs to bring comfort and texture to the room.
