HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DINING TABLE

A round dining table creates a warm and social atmosphere. Since everyone is facing one another, conversation flows naturally and inclusively, making round tables ideal for both everyday dinners and more festive occasions. Their soft shape is especially well-suited to smaller spaces, where sharp corners can feel intrusive and limit movement. A round table brings an open, airy feel even to compact rooms. However, as the number of guests increases, it can become harder to accommodate everyone without significantly increasing the table’s diameter. For that reason, round tables are best suited for small to medium-sized gatherings.

The rectangular table is as much a promise of togetherness as it is an elegant piece of furniture. Its defined shape brings structure to the room and accommodates both the rhythm of everyday life and the grandeur of long, celebratory dinners. A rectangular table is ideal for elongated spaces or dining rooms where you want to create a sense of balance and visual weight. Picture a solid table in rustic wood – with grains, marks, and imperfections that each tell a story of their own. This is where large gatherings unfold, where evenings stretch into night and no one wants to leave. A rectangular table also invites creativity in seating – mix chairs, add a bench, or combine textures to give the space a personal, curated touch.

For those who want to combine everyday practicality with the ability to host larger gatherings, an extendable dining table is an ideal solution. A table with extension leaves or pull-out sections offers great flexibility and can be adjusted to suit the number of guests. When closed, it takes up less space and helps create an airy, open feel in the room. When needed, it easily transforms into a larger dining area. The choice of extension mechanism plays a key role in ease of use – some tables come with separate leaves that are stored elsewhere, while others feature smart, integrated solutions hidden beneath the tabletop.
