How large should your dining table be?

The ideal size of a dining room table depends on your room’s measurements and the number of people you want to accommodate at your table. Although individual preferences vary, the general rule is to allow two feet of space per person for comfortable seating.For example, a round table 48 inches in diameter or a rectangular design with the same length would comfortably accommodate four people. Tables with 60, 72, and 90-inch lengths are more appropriate for gatherings of six or more. Also, remember to leave at least 36 inches of space between the table and walls or other furniture so it's easy to walk around the table.

What dining table shape is best for a small space?

For small spaces, consider two dining table shapes and one feature:Round or oval tables: The lack of sharp corners makes oval and round tables more suitable in small spaces because you can maneuver around them better, especially in tight corners. Since everyone sits an equal distance apart, these shapes have the added benefit of facilitating better conversation flow.Pedestal tables: Regardless of which shape better suits your space and style, pedestal tables are best for furnishing a small dining room. With a single, central support instead of four legs, these designs have more legroom, making adding an extra chair in a pinch easier.

What dining table material options are available?

Different materials offer different aesthetics and durability for dining tables:Wood: A wide range of grains and finishes provide different levels of durability and aesthetic appeal. Popular examples include oak, maple, walnut, and cherry.Glass: Easy to clean and maintain, glass tables create a sense of openness and can help brighten up a room. Metal: For a durable material with a modern look, metal is popular, especially in industrial-style designs.Stone: Marble, granite, or quartz are durable stones commonly used in dining tables. Stone provides a unique finish and look. Composite/MFD: Less solid and durable than metal or wood, composite or MDF materials are available in many finishes and are a budget-friendly option.

Dining Tables

A natural gathering place for friends and family, your dining table is one of the most well-used pieces of furniture in your home. Whether hosting a holiday gathering, pulling out the board games for family night, or catching up with friends over brunch, your dining table is a long-lasting investment that serves many purposes.

When choosing your dining table, it’s essential to pick the right materials, style, and size for your space and design preference. Follow along with our dining table buying guide to ensure you find the perfect fit.

Different Types of Dining Tables

Engineered Wood

Including particleboard or wood veneers, engineered wood tables are generally less expensive, lighter, and easier to move. When cared for they can last for many years.

Hard Wood

Hardwoods like oak, pine, walnut, or mahogany are beautiful and durable. While they tend to be more expensive, wood dining tables can last a lifetime if cared for properly. The natural wood grain gives them character and depth, and they can be stained and painted to meet many design needs.

Ceramic or Marble

Ceramic is a manmade material composed of clay and other materials to give it the appearance of marble, while marble is a natural material mined all over the world. Both make for a beautiful and timeless dining table surface. Marble or ceramic tables require consistent maintenance and are perceptible to stains or scratches.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is easy to clean, super strong, and scratch resistant. Glass dining tables lend a sophisticated and modern atmosphere to dining rooms. Perfect for modern or contemporary preferences, they add to the illusion of space in small rooms. If the glass is not tempered, it can be prone to breaking, so always opt for tempered glass.

Metal

A unique tabletop choice that is growing in popularity, metal dining tables offer an industrial and chic appearance. They are incredibly durable and easy to clean, but metal tabletops absorb heat easily. Use table mats and coasters to prevent burns.

Other Dining Table Considerations:

Color

One of the biggest decisions when choosing a dining table rests on the color. Dining tables come in a variety of colors, including staple hues like black, grey, brown, and white.

The Base

Impacting aesthetics and function, the base of your dining table determines how the table looks and how you use it. If you want plenty of leg space, opt for a pedestal base. If you want a sleek and modern appeal, choose a table with straight trestle legs. Or, if you want an elegant and elevated look, go with curved or ornately carved legs.

Storage Features

Some tables include drawers or built-in storage shelving for napkins, placemats, and other accessories. Ensure that they are easily accessible and do not block desired seating arrangements.

Folding Tables

If you are low on space but want a table to sit down and take your meals to now and again, consider a folding dining table. These tables are designed to collapse and store against a wall when not in use.

Dining Table Size Guide

The size of your dining table ultimately depends on the size of your space and your seating needs. Consider the length of the table and the desired height when picking your perfect fit.

60 INCHES

Small Dining Table

Small dining tables seat around two to four people. Small tables are usually round or square shapes under 60 inches. You can also find small rectangle-shaped tables, as well as triangle-shaped tables that tuck up into a corner space.

80 INCHES

Medium Dining Table

Medium-sized dining tables seat around four to six people and measure up to 80”. Rectangle or long oval tables are perfect for medium-sized spaces and can fit a dining bench along one side to provide more seating.

90 INCHES

Large Dining Table

Large dining tables seat around six to eight people and extend to 90” and above. Rectangle tables with extension leaves expand for more space and are great for large dining spaces and families.

Dining tables commonly come in three different heights to meet your seating preferences.

Standard Table Height

A standard table height rises to 30”. They pair perfectly with standard-height dining chairs .

Counter Table Height

Counter-height dining tables generally rise to 36”, which pairs with counter-height chairs and stools.

Bar Table Height

Bar-height dining tables are the tallest options, measuring up to 46”. They pair with bar-height chairs and stools.

How To Choose the Right Dining Table

Consider Your Style

Dining tables come in different materials and styles to blend in with your design preferences and match other already existing furniture in the room. Depending on the style, your table can influence the mood of the room.

Consider the Size

You want ample space to walk around all corners of the table and when the chairs are pulled out and filled with friends and family.

Before buying a table, measure your space to see where the table will fall. You generally want about 48” of space between the edge of the table and the wall or any nearby furniture.

Round or square tables fit best in small spaces, while rectangle or large oval tables work well in larger rooms.

Consider a Dining Set

When choosing your dining table, you generally have the option to add matching dining chairs. A dining set ensures that the chairs and table are matching in height and style.

Dining sets may include other pieces, like a sideboard or display case — giving your dining room greater functionality and flow.
