Ready for Your Perfect Round Dining Table?
Are Round Dining Tables Better for Small Spaces?
The Beauty of a Round Dining Table
A round dining table isn’t just a piece of furniture. It’s where conversations flow, meals are shared, and memories are made. If you’ve ever struggled to squeeze a big rectangular table into a small space, you might be wondering: is a round dining table the better choice?
Let’s break it down.
Why Round Dining Tables Work in Small Spaces
A round dining table has no sharp corners. That means you won’t bang your hip every time you walk past. It also allows for better movement around the room, especially in tight spaces.
- No corners = more space to move
- Easier to navigate in small rooms
- Can fit more people when needed
If you’ve got a small dining area, a small round dining table might just be your best friend.

Round Dining Tables Make Conversations Better
Ever sat at a long rectangular table where you can only talk to the two people next to you? With a round dining table, everyone is part of the conversation.
- No awkward shouting down the table
- Everyone can see each other
- Perfect for family meals and dinner parties
A round dining table for 6 is ideal for cosy gatherings, while a round dining table for 4 works beautifully for everyday dining.
More Seating Without Wasted Space
One of the biggest advantages of a round dining table is flexibility. With no corners, you can easily squeeze in an extra chair or two when guests come over.
- More efficient use of space
- No wasted seats at the corners
- Easily fits extra guests when needed
A small round dining table can seat four comfortably, but with the right chairs, it can accommodate more without feeling cramped.
Style Meets Function: The Perfect Balance
A round dining table set doesn’t just save space—it also looks stunning. Whether your style is modern, rustic, or industrial, a custom-made round dining table adds elegance to any home.
- Works well with different chair styles
- Looks great in open-plan spaces
- A timeless piece that never goes out of style
When crafted from solid timber, a round table isn’t just furniture—it’s a statement.
The Craftsmanship Behind Custom Round Dining Tables

- Made from high-quality timber like Messmate, American Oak, and Blackbutt
- Custom finishes to suit your space
- Strong, durable, and built for everyday use

That’s what we love to hear!
Round vs. Rectangular: Which One Wins?
Still unsure if a round dining table is right for you? Let’s compare.
| Feature | Round Table | Rectangular Table |
|---|---|---|
| Space Efficiency | ✅ Saves space | ❌ Can be bulky in small rooms |
| Seating Flexibility | ✅ Easy to add more seats | ❌ Fixed seating positions |
| Conversation Flow | ✅ Everyone can see each other | ❌ Hard to talk across the table |
| Safety | ✅ No sharp corners | ❌ Risk of bumping into edges |
| Aesthetic Appeal | ✅ Softer, welcoming shape | ✅ Classic, formal look |
If you have a small dining space, a round dining table is often the best choice. But if you have a large open-plan area, a rectangular table might suit better.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Home
The right table size depends on how many people you need to seat.
- Round dining table for 4: Perfect for apartments and small dining rooms
- Round dining table for 6: Great for families or entertainers
- Round dining table set for 8+: Ideal for larger spaces
Not sure what size to get? We can custom-make one to fit your exact space.
Styling Your Round Dining Table
A round dining table isn’t just about function—it’s also about style. Here are some ways to make it shine in your home.
Chairs Matter
Choose chairs that complement the table and fit the space. If space is tight, opt for slim-profile chairs or even a built-in bench.
Add a Centrepiece
A round table looks great with a central feature, like:
- A vase of fresh flowers
- A statement bowl
- A small sculpture or candle arrangement

Lighting Is Key
