How do you choose the right dining table?
Choosing a dining table depends primarily on your space, your lifestyle, and the atmosphere you want to create around mealtime. If you often host guests or live with family, a rectangular or extendable table is a great option. It naturally structures the space and comfortably seats a large number of people.
On the other hand, if you're looking to create a dining area in a smaller space or want a more intimate, flowing ambiance, a round or oval table is an excellent choice.
Which table takes up more space: round or rectangular?
The round table is the undisputed space-saver. It’s your best ally in compact rooms or unconventional layouts. With no sharp corners, it allows for smoother movement — especially in narrow kitchens or multifunctional living areas. Its soft, fluid shape lightens the visual layout, blending effortlessly into its surroundings without overwhelming the space.
