Round table as a dining table - modern & practical

cover-roundtables-article

When it comes to choosing a dining table, round tables have become a popular choice for many homes. They offer a number of advantages that make them an attractive option for both small and large dining rooms.

In this article, we will look at why round tables are a good choice as a dining table, as well as give you some tips on how to best integrate them into your home.

Why choose a round table as a dining table?

Social and intimate: One of the biggest advantages of a round dining table is that it creates a more intimate and social atmosphere. Everyone at the table can see and talk to each other without having to reach or turn. This makes it ideal for cozy dinners with family and friends.

Space-saving: Round tables are often more space-saving than long tables - especially in smaller dining rooms. They don't have corners, which means they can fit into tighter spaces and still provide plenty of room to sit around the table.

Flexibility in placement: Round tables can be placed in many different types of rooms. Whether you have an open plan living space or a more traditional dining room, a round table can easily find its place and become a central element in the room.

How to choose the perfect round table

When choosing a round dining table, there are several factors you should consider to ensure it suits your needs and style.

Size and space

Consider the size of your dining room and how many people you usually have for dinner. A table with a diameter of 100 cm is ideal for four people, while a table of 150 cm can comfortably accommodate six to eight people.

Color selection

Below you can read what the different colors of round tables are suitable for:

Natural oiled: For those who appreciate the authentic charm and warmth of wood, a round table treated with natural oil is the perfect choice. This finish protects the wood and highlights its unique patterns and colors, creating a cozy and earthy atmosphere.

Dark oiled: A round table with a dark oil finish adds depth and elegance to any room. The dark finish creates striking contrasts in bright surroundings and enhances the atmosphere in already dark, atmospheric interiors.

Black Oiled: For those looking to add a modern and distinctive look to their home, black oiling is the perfect choice. Black oiling creates an intense and dramatic visual effect and acts as an eye-catching element in spaces with minimalist or industrial design.

White oiled: A white oiled round table brings a fresh and airy feel to your home. This color treatment is ideal for brightening up rooms and creating the illusion of more space. White oiling is perfect for Scandinavian or coastal-inspired interiors where light, simplicity and soft colors dominate.

Table legs in steel or wood?

Choosing table legs is all about style and the desired atmosphere. Steel legs give a modern and industrial feel and fit well in minimalist homes. Wooden legs create a warm and inviting atmosphere and add a natural charm.

Adding additional plates

Our extension leaves are made from the same wood as the main table, ensuring consistent grain patterns and a beautiful design. It is not possible to purchase extension leaves later, as they are made at the same time as the table.

By adding extension leaves, you can expand your round table with extra seating. You can read more in our article about extension leaves here .

Interior design with a round table

Once you've chosen your new round dining table, it's time to think about the decor around it. Here are some tips for creating a stylish and inviting dining area.

Lighting: A central pendant lamp above the table can create a cozy atmosphere and highlight the table's location in the room. Choose a lamp that matches the size and style of the table.

Chairs for the round table: Choose chairs that complement the design of the table. You can choose similar chairs for a cohesive look or mix different styles for a more eclectic look.
