Round dining tables

To the complete dining table range

Why are round dining tables so popular?

Anyone who enjoys socialising, having conversations and loves inviting spaces will quickly appreciate the benefits of a round dining table. This is because its shape creates an atmosphere that automatically brings people closer together - at breakfast with the family as well as at dinner with friends. No head end, no seating hierarchy - instead, people sit together at eye level. The round table also impresses across the board in terms of functionality: with no corners, it utilises the available space particularly efficiently - ideal for smaller rooms or open-plan living concepts. Whether as a compact dining room table or as a centrepiece in the living/dining area - it looks light and inviting while still providing enough space for guests. Many models are also extendable and can be transformed into a large table in no time at all - without taking up any space.

Compared to square versions, round dining tables bring a soft dynamism to the room and, with their flowing shape, fit effortlessly into different interior styles - from clear Scandinavian to cosy rustic.

For which rooms are round dining tables particularly suitable?

Whether open-plan kitchen, square dining room or compact city flat – a round dining table is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to save space without sacrificing style. Thanks to its flowing shape, it appears softer than square models, can be positioned flexibly in the room and often requires less floor space. Particularly practical: when not in use, a small table can be discreetly moved against the wall – perfect for rooms that are used for various purposes in everyday life.

Especially in smaller dining areas or eat-in kitchens, a round table creates an airy sense of space. With no troublesome corners, the available space can be optimally used all around – whether for meals, conversations or a spontaneous game night. It also looks good as a side table or compact bistro table – some models can be extended quickly and easily to provide space for guests if required. 

In open-plan layouts, a round dining table also serves as a harmonious room divider between the living and dining areas. Particularly modern versions with a round or oval top fit seamlessly into different furnishing concepts – and set aesthetic accents without dominating the space. 

What size should a round dining table be?

Breakfast for two, a games evening with friends or the big family meal on Sunday – how much space you really need depends on how many people regularly sit at the table. This is because a round dining table creates closeness – but only if proportions and space are right. 

For two people, a compact bistro table with a diameter of approx. 100 cm is often sufficient – ideal for a cosy coffee corner. For four people, 110 to 120 cm is recommended, providing enough surface for plates, glasses and an attractive centre. If you often eat with six or eight people, you should opt for a larger model with 130 to 150 cm – or even an extendable round table that elegantly expands when required.  

Important: Also consider the space required for chairs. Wide chair models or those with armrests need extra space – both at the table and for getting up comfortably. As a rule of thumb: 80 cm of freedom of movement around the table ensures an overall harmonious look and good accessibility. 

Tip: Newspaper can be used to easily replicate table sizes on the floor. This way you can immediately see how much space is actually available – and how well your desired model fits into the room concept.

What influence does the design of the table base have on round dining tables?

A round dining table brings people together – but only the right table base ensures unrestricted comfort. Especially for larger groups, the base construction determines how comfortably you sit – and how many people can actually find space. 

Particularly popular: the central pedestal base. It offers considerably more legroom, as there are no table legs in the way – ideal when the seating arrangement should remain flexible or when spontaneous guests join in. In modern interiors, a round table with glass top and metal frame appears especially airy and elegant. The combination of glass and metal brings transparency to the room and underlines a contemporary living style. 

If you prefer a natural look, choose a solid wood frame – often combined with a table top whose lively wood grain makes every meal a special occasion. Models with metal legs also set interesting accents: they create a stylish contrast and bring industrial lightness to minimalist spaces. 

Important for a harmonious overall impression: base and table top should be matched in colour and style. This turns a functional piece of furniture into a real eye-catcher – and the dining area becomes the centrepiece of your home.

How do you combine chairs with a round dining table?

Whether simple, modern or playful – the choice of matching chairs decisively influences the character of a round dining table.  Indeed, it is only the harmonious interplay of table and seating furniture that creates a coherent overall image – and a place you like to spend time. 

For a calm, natural atmosphere harmoniously coordinated sets are suitable: A round dining table made from wood with matching wooden chairs feels homely and timeless. If you prefer more vibrancy, deliberately combine different materials, colours or shapes – mix-and-match adds personality to the room and allows the dining area to appear modern and individual. 

Chair height and design are also important. Particularly at tables with a pedestal base, slender shell chairs or models without armrests work well – they are easier to arrange and provide more space around the table. This keeps things comfortable and relaxed even with a larger group. 

As a rule of thumb: a dining table with a diameter of 120 cm offers space for four people. With larger models, the seating capacity increases accordingly – but it’s important to ensure there is enough freedom of movement between the chairs. This allows all guests to lean back and relax without feeling cramped. 

By the way: Combined with our high-quality dining chairs – optimally matched to your table – a round dining table becomes a place for real encounters: for enjoyment, laughter and togetherness.
