Small dining table - the best sizes and tips for a compact dining room

Choosing a small dining table for a compact dining room or an apartment is a matter of measuring smartly and picking the right shape. With the right size you can sit comfortably at the table even in a small space. These tips will help you get started.

What size is small enough?

For two to four people in a small space, these sizes work best:

• Rectangular 120 x 80 cm - four people, fits against a wall
• Round Ø 90 to 100 cm - two to four people, easy to walk around
• Oval 140 x 90 cm - four people, soft shape without corners

A round shape saves space

In a small dining room, a round or oval dining table is often nicer than a rectangular one: no sharp corners, and you can move around it smoothly. Check out our buying guide for a round dining table for 4 people if you dine with four.

Place it smartly

Put a small dining table against a wall or in a corner to gain space, and choose a base that doesn't get in the way of your legs. A matrix or cross leg gives more legroom than four separate legs.
