Dining tables

The dining table is the meeting place for everyday life at home.

The dining table is rarely just for eating. It is where you do homework, drink your morning coffee, and set the table for longer weekend meals and parties. That is why the most important thing when choosing a table is practicality: size, shape, and material that can withstand everyday use. When the dimensions are right, chairs can move around and the space stays tidy even when there is more activity around the table.

A good dining table looks peaceful and feels sturdy. It serves every day and doesn't require constant care.

How to choose the right size dining table

How many seats do you really need?

Choose the size based on how you use the table on a daily basis and how often you have guests over. For four people, a more compact dining table is often enough, while for six people, it is good to have more room in terms of length and depth. If you also want seating at the ends of the table, it is worth considering this right away in the dimensions.

The functionality of the space is crucial. Leave space around the table so that you can pull the chair back and pass by naturally. If the dining area is connected to the living room, it is worth matching the proportions to other furniture, such as the shades and materials of the coffee table collection.

Small or narrow dining table for a small space

For a small kitchen or compact dining area, a narrower table or a round model often works. A narrow table saves space in walkways, and a round one makes movement smoother because there are no corners. If the space lives by the day, an extendable model can be the most practical way to combine everyday life and celebration.

Round dining table, rectangular or oval?

Round dining table for conversation and smaller spaces

A round dining table is perfect for situations where you want a relaxed atmosphere and equal seating. It works especially well when the dining area is a walk-through area, as the corners don't take up space. A round table often allows for flexible seating, but for very large groups, a rectangular table can be more efficient.

A rectangular table when you want a clear rhythm

A rectangular table is the safest choice for many people. It is easy to place it parallel to the wall and also gives a clear line to the interior. An oval is a good intermediate shape if you like the practicality of a long table, but want a slightly softer look.

Practical extendable dining table

An extendable dining table is worth considering if your seating needs vary. In everyday life, the table can be compact and easy to keep tidy. If necessary, it can be extended for guests without the entire space being dominated by a large table all year round. When choosing, it is also a good idea to consider practical storage: where the extra piece is and how the extension works, so that use feels effortless.

Materials and care: oak, wood, glass and marble surface

Wood and oak tones bring warmth and are suitable for many homes. Wood can withstand everyday use well when the surface is cared for sensibly and hot dishes are protected. A glass table looks light and opens up the space, but it requires a little more wiping if you want the surface to stay bright. A marble-surfaced look brings poise and a “finished” atmosphere, and it works great when the whole thing is kept calm.

In interior design, the dining area is often finished with lighting and a countertop. A pendant light suitable for above the dining table can be found in the Lighting collection, and console tables and side tables are a natural match for the dining area for serving or storage.

Frequently asked questions about dining tables

What size dining table is suitable for 4, 6 or 8 people?

The right size depends on the number of people sitting and whether you want seating at the ends of the table. For four people, a more compact table often works well in everyday life, as the chairs can move around and the space remains spacious. For six people, it is good to have more room in the length and depth of the table so that setting does not feel cramped. For eight people, the most efficient table solution is often a longer rectangular or extendable model. Also leave enough space around the table to allow for everyday life.

Which is better: a round or rectangular dining table?

A round dining table is often better if you want a relaxed atmosphere and flexible seating in a smaller space. It softens the flow of traffic because there are no corners, and conversation feels natural when everyone is “in the same circle”. A rectangular dining table is practical when you want a clear line and maximize seating, especially for a larger group. It is easy to place it parallel to the wall and clearly sets the rhythm of the space. You should make your choice based on the shape of the space and everyday use.

Is it worth choosing an extendable dining table?

Yes, an extendable dining table is worth it if your need for seating varies between everyday life and parties. In everyday life, a smaller size is easier to keep tidy and it leaves room to move around. When guests come, the table continues without you having to decide on seating at separate additional tables. The most important thing when choosing is the ease of the mechanism and where the extension piece will be stored. Even when extended, there must be room to walk around the table so that the chairs and movement work. When these are in order, the solution will serve you for a long time.
