Dining Tables
Overview
Many people choose their dining table first because it is one of the most essential pieces in the dining area. You can go that route, or choose dining chairs you love first and then look for a table to accompany them. Size, shape, color, and material are important considerations when choosing a dining table that suits your space and aesthetic.
However, you also want to envision the people sitting at the table, the moments you hope to create, and the meals you will serve. Will you use the table to play games together, work from home, or do craft projects with your kids? Are you excited to find the perfect decorations for your table? The table you choose will be home to all of these memorable moments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the right size dining table for my space?
Ensure there's at least 36 inches of clearance around the table to allow for chairs and movement. Measure your dining area to find the best fit.
Can I use a round table in a small dining area?
Yes, round tables can be more space-efficient and better for conversation, making them a great choice for small spaces.
What materials are best for a durable dining table?
Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and walnut, are durable and long-lasting. Glass and metal can also be good options for their ease of cleaning and modern appearance.
What is the recommended distance between a dining table and surrounding furniture?
Maintain at least 36 inches from the dining table to any walls or other furniture to ensure diners can sit down and stand up easily without obstruction.
Can I use a round rug with a rectangular table?
Generally, it's best to match the shape of the rug with the table. Therefore, avoid pairing a round rug with a rectangular table and vice versa for visual harmony.
What measurements should I consider for a comfortable dining area?
The dining table should be approximately 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) high, with chairs that have a seat height allowing for 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) of legroom under the table. Ensure there is enough room to sit down and stand up easily, without the table height or chair dimensions impeding movement.
What is the recommended space for dining area furniture?
The dining table should have a height of 28¾ to 30 inches (73 to 76 cm) from the floor, with chairs allowing at least 11 to 12 inches (28 to 30 cm) of legroom beneath the table.
How do I determine the right size chandelier for my dining room?
Measure the width and length of your dining room in feet. Add those two numbers together, and the sum, in inches, should be the diameter of your chandelier. For example, a 12x12 room would suit a 24-inch diameter chandelier.
How should I choose a rug size for my dining area?
Select a rug that is large enough for the dining table and chairs to sit on comfortably, allowing extra space so chairs can be moved without catching on the edges.
