How to Choose the Right Size Table for Your Space?

“How many people can I accommodate with this table size?” Here is one of the recurring questions that we ask ourselves when buying the one that will have a central place in your dining room or your kitchen. If you are one of those people who do not know what table size to plan for 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or more than 14 guests, you have come to the right place. We have designed this detailed infographic for you to become knowledgeable on the subject! With it, you will have access to all the tips from the greatest expert in tables, chairs and stools so that you will never again be mistaken in choosing a table size.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF YOUR TABLE?

Tip 1: Calculate the width of the chairs you will use

The first practical advice we can give you is to calculate the size of your chairs that will accompany your future table. These vary depending on the shapes and options. A chair with armrests, for example, will have a greater width than a chair without armrests. Generally, it takes between 50 and 60 cm wide to seat a person. This dimension is important to take into account because you are not immune to wanting to change chairs a few months or years later. As the famous saying goes, prevention is better than cure!

Tip 2: Calculate the size of your room and the depth of your chairs

In addition to the width of the chair, it is important to take into account the distance between it and the walls and/or other furniture around the table. It is essential to be able to move freely and to sit down and get off the table just as easily. For this, we advise you to reserve at least 120 cm in length and width on each side of the table, i.e. 60 cm per chair! You can also provide extra space to make it easier to move around your table when your guests are all seated.

Tip 3: choose the shape of the table top that suits you

The third piece of advice we can give you is to take an interest in the shape of the table you want. Square, round, rectangular… Each shape has its own characteristics! Starting from the observation that it is necessary to plan between 50 and 60 cm per person, here are the dimensions to choose for each shape according to the number of guests you wish to install.
