Dining Tables We’re Loving in Calgary Right Now

 

Summer in Calgary brings a sense of renewal — longer days, spontaneous gatherings, and a fresh appreciation for the home spaces we love to share. And when it comes to sharing meals, nothing anchors a home quite like the dining table. Whether you’re hosting a cozy brunch with friends, gathering the family for a Sunday roast, or enjoying a casual evening meal after a day at the Stampede, your dining table sets the stage for memories made around it.

At Showhome Furniture, a family-owned business in the heart of Calgary, we’ve noticed a trend this season: Calgarians are falling in love with timeless dining tables that offer both style and lasting function. Inspired by Studio McGee’s signature blend of modern simplicity and classic warmth, here are the dining tables we’re absolutely loving in Calgary right now.

The Classic Wood Table with Character

If there’s one thing Calgary homeowners agree on, it’s that natural wood never goes out of style. Solid wood tables bring warmth, texture, and authenticity to any space — whether it’s a sleek urban condo or a rustic suburban home.

Our Pick: The Live Edge Wood Dining Table

Crafted from solid slabs of wood, the Live Edge Wood Dining Table available at Showhome Furniture captures the raw beauty of nature. No two pieces are alike, making each table a personal statement. The organic edges give it a handcrafted feel, while the rich wood grain adds depth and interest to your dining space.

Pair it with linen placemats, handcrafted ceramic dishes, and a simple eucalyptus centerpiece for a fresh, laid-back look that feels perfectly at home in Calgary’s relaxed summer vibe. Plus, this table is durable enough to handle family dinners, craft projects, and the occasional Stampede party.

Bonus Tip: Catch it during Showhome’s Calgary Stampede Sale for incredible value on this showstopper piece.

Light-Toned Tables for a Soft, Airy Look

Long summer days call for interiors that feel light and breezy. That’s why light wood dining tables have been trending in Calgary homes. They brighten up your space, making it feel larger and more inviting — especially when paired with natural light flooding in through big windows.

Our Pick: The Scandi-Inspired Extendable Dining Table

The Scandi-Inspired Extendable Dining Table from Showhome Furniture blends minimalist design with thoughtful function. Its soft ash finish and smooth lines give it a casual yet elevated feel, perfect for everyday meals and special occasions alike.

The extendable feature is a game-changer for Calgary families who love to host. Keep it compact for intimate dinners, then expand it for larger gatherings during the Stampede or holiday get-togethers.

Style Tip: Place it over a jute or natural fiber rug and hang a cluster of simple pendant lights overhead for that effortless, magazine-worthy look.

Dark and Modern for a Bold Statement

For those who appreciate a bit of contrast in their home design, darker dining tables offer a striking visual anchor. They provide the perfect balance against Calgary’s often bright, neutral interiors and can make a space feel both modern and inviting.

Our Pick: The Black Base Rectangular Table with Natural Top

Showhome’s Black Base Rectangular Table combines a sturdy black iron base with a natural wood top — a mix of industrial and organic that works in both modern and farmhouse-style homes.

This piece is perfect for those who want a dining space that feels contemporary but still warm and welcoming. The dark base grounds the room, while the lighter top keeps the overall look from feeling too heavy.

Pro Tip: Style it with neutral runners, soft floral arrangements, and light wood or upholstered chairs for a look that feels balanced and inviting.

Don’t Forget the Bonus: A Modular Couch for Your Open-Concept Space

While you’re thinking about updating your dining room, consider how your living space flows together — especially in open-concept homes, which are common in Calgary.

Why a Modular Couch Makes Sense

Showhome Furniture’s Canadian-made modular sectionals give you the flexibility to create a seating area that adapts to your lifestyle. Hosting friends after dinner? Rearrange the modules to make space for everyone. Want a cozy reading nook for lazy summer afternoons? Shift the sections to carve out a quiet corner.

Available in light, airy fabrics like soft greys, creams, and warm beiges, these couches pair beautifully with the natural tones of your new dining table.

Tip for a Cohesive Look: Use coordinating textures like linen pillows, woven baskets, and soft area rugs in both your dining and living spaces to create a seamless flow.
