When Should You Choose a Round Dining Table?
A round dining table is an ideal option if you have a square-shaped dining room, an open-plan dining area, or a dining room with limited space. In a square room, a round table will fill the space better while providing a more balanced look. And in a small or open-plan area, it'll help you conserve square footage while creating an illusion of having more space in the room.
"We'd recommend a round dining table for living accommodations like an apartment," added Grace Radoha.
Many dining rooms are rectangular and look best with a rectangular dining table. But an oval table offers an excellent compromise if you have a rectangular dining room and love the round dining table look.
With the elimination of sharp corners, round tables are recommended for families with children to protect them from bumping into sharp edges. And they create a better flow in the room, making it easier to walk around the dining area.
"It all depends on the space and the type of entertaining you. I personally like a round table whenever possible because I find it more intimate and conversation friendly. That said, rectangular tables will often fit better in most spaces and have more flexibility for you to add on to them or squeeze more people in if the party is larger," said Kyle Hoff.
In addition, round tables are typically better for community gatherings, as they create a more inclusive feel. The shape helps the group face each other, encouraging group conversation. In contrast, rectangular tables often lead to one-on-one or side conversations.
To sum it up, a round dining table offers the following benefits:
- Fits better in small dining rooms, square dining rooms, and open-plan dining areas
- Promotes conversation for group gatherings
- Protects children from sharp edges
- Creates the illusion of more space
- Improves the flow for walking around the room
What Should You Consider When Buying a Round Dining Table?
Like any furniture purchase, it's essential to think about what you want and need from your round dining table before you buy.
Size
"Choosing the correct size is an important step when buying a round table. Buying a table that is too small can make your space feel unfinished. On the flip side, buying a round table that's too big can make your dining room feel smaller," Grace Radoha told Living Cozy.
To get the size right, you'll want to measure your dining area and experiment with how different tabletop sizes will fit.
- Measure tabletop sizes by placing a tape measure on the floor at standard sizes like 40", 50" and 60"
- Add to the dimensions so you have room for the dining chairs to slide out and room for people to walk behind the dining chairs (adding 96" to the diameter would be ideal, allowing 48" on all sides)
- If the fit seems too tight, test a smaller diameter
Some spaces won't have room to add 96" to the diameter and still have enough tablespace to seat your family and guests. If this sounds like your space, you'll need to do some extra thinking to find the best solution. For example, you might need to sacrifice the room to walk behind the chairs in some areas.
The goal is to find the right balance between what you can and can't sacrifice. Here are the essentials to take into account:
- Diameter of the table
- Size of dining chairs
- Space to pull out chairs (24" -30")
- Room to walk behind chairs (20" -24")
Pro Tip: "Outline the shape and size of the dining room furniture with painter's tape, or use small pieces of tape as references, to get a better idea of where the furniture will be placed and how it will fit," recommends Robin DeCapua.
Material
The material your dining table and chairs are made from will impact how they'll look alongside your decor. To find the right fit, you'll want to consider the materials and finishes already used in your home and your existing color palette.
Here are the most common options you'll have to choose from:
- Wood: Recommended by Todd Howard Ezrin, wood has a classic look and works well for extension tables and drop-leaf options. And you can have solid wood professionally resurfaced if the tabletop is badly damaged.
- Metal: Metal offers heat resistance and durability, and you don't have to worry as much about water rings.
- Stone: Stone has an elegant, earthy appeal that quickly elevates a space. It does tend to be heavier, though, and some types of stone are easy to scratch or stain.
- Glass: "We love glass dining tables because they are easily cleanable and appear 'lighter' in a crowded space," said Todd Howard Ezrin.
- Laminate: Laminate is often more affordable than other tabletop materials, and many options are quite durable.
You can choose multiple materials for your table if you'd like to mix and match for an eclectic personal touch. For example, you might opt for a metal base with a wood top or a wood base with a glass top.
Pro Tip: "If you purchase a glass top, you can buy a couple of different table bases for when you want to mix things up style-wise or decorate seasonally," added Robin DeCapua.
Style
From glass and wood topped to pedestal and trestle-based, there are as many styles of round dining tables as you can imagine. Think about how you live, the style of your home, and the existing decor in your dining area. Nadia Watts recommends a pedestal base because they offer extra legroom and work better for accommodating additional guests.
You'll also want your dining table to work with the tones and finishes you already have. The same is true for your dining chairs. But you can still be creative by choosing mismatched dining chairs, a table made with multiple materials, or something to add an unexpected pop of color.
Pro Tip: "In my staging business, we never match the dining chairs to the table," explained Robin DeCapua. "In fact, we make a point of creating as much contrast as possible in color and style between the chairs and table. This is key to creating a decorated look. You don't want your home to look like a furniture showroom — it should be a reflection of your taste and personality."
