Selecting Table Shape & Seating Capacity
Start by measuring your dining room perimeter: allow at least 90cm of clearance from the table edge to walls or sideboards so guests can stand up and move behind seated diners comfortably. Rectangular dining tables (180cm to 240cm) suit dedicated dining rooms and seat 6 to 10 guests. Round dining tables (100cm to 120cm for 4 people; 150cm for 6 to 8 people) encourage inclusive conversation and maximize flow in open-plan living and kitchen layouts.
