Dining Tables: How to Choose the Perfect Size
Dining tables need to balance seating capacity with comfort.
Space Per Person
Allow:
- 60 cm width per person
- 40 cm depth per place setting
Table Size Guidelines
| Seats | Rectangular Table | Round Table |
| 4-6 | 120-150cm long | 90cm diam |
| 6-8 | 150-200cm long | 120cm diam |
| 8-10 | 180-240cm long | 150cm diam |
| 10-12 | 240-320cm long | 180cm diam |
| 12-14 | 300-360cm long | 210cm diam |
Clearance Around the Table
You need at least 70 cm between the table edge and walls or furniture.
For high-traffic areas, aim for 100–110 cm.
If space is tight, consider extendable tables — many models expand by 40–60 cm per extension leaf.
