Measurements
The most important thing when choosing a dining room table is to take into account the measurements needed for the space we have. With these measurements in mind, we will be able to choose the perfect table size for our dining room.
Each customer needs a table area of 60 cm long (and 10 cm more if the seat has armrests). In turn, each customer needs enough space to be able to move his or her chair when sitting and standing, so you will need to have at least 50 cm of free space around the table. However, that is not all, you must also take into account the circulation area around the table, so that to the 50 cm previously mentioned we must add at least 50/70 cm more, leaving a total of 100/120 cm around the dining table.
Make a sketch, write down the measurements of your dining space and with these measurements in mind you can get an idea of the perfect dining table size for your home.
Format
Another fundamental aspect to take into account when choosing the perfect dining table for our home is its format. There are 4 main formats and the choice will depend on the size of the space and personal taste of the purchaser.
Square dining room table
Square dining tables are perfect for spaces whose dimensions are equal in both length and width. If your dining room matches these characteristics, a square dining table will be ideal. At the same time, square dining tables have the particularity of not having hierarchy places as all their sides are equal.
Round dining room table
Round dining tables are also perfect for spaces whose dimensions are equal in both length and width, with the difference that the lack of vertices make them ideal for rather small spaces. In addition, from a communication point of view, a round dining table benefits the conversation between customers.
Rectangular dining room table
Rectangular dining tables are ideal for spaces that are longer than they are wide or vice versa. At the same time, this rectangular table format is also the most practical in terms of size to seating capacity ratio. And if you are one of those who like to show off an elegant dining table, you can take advantage of the ends of this format to accentuate them with a pair of chairs that are different from the rest.
Oval dining room table
Oval dining tables are also ideal for spaces whose width and length measurements differ, however, by having rounded corners, they acquire the benefits of round tables in terms of communication and hierarchies.
Material
Once we have defined the measurements and format of our dining table, we must choose the material it will be made of. There are several materials for dining tables such as wood, glass, iron, marble, among others, however each one will bring a different connotation.
Glass tables, for example, are ideal for small spaces where it is important to take care of the weight and visual noise of the room. Wooden tables, on the other hand, will bring warmth (inert quality of wood). But, on the contrary, if you want to create a cold atmosphere, it is advisable to opt for black or white iron dining tables or marble.
