Seating everyone around a circle makes conversation easier, because no one is stranded at the far end. A round dining table and chairs set also suits square rooms, since the curved edge keeps traffic flowing around it. This collection brings together round dining tables, and matching chairs, for small kitchens, family rooms and dining spaces.

Round Dining Table and Chairs for 4

A round table with four chairs typically has a diameter of around 100 to 120cm. That is a good fit for a compact dining area, with enough elbow room for four adults. Check the exact measurements in each listing and leave a path wide enough to walk behind each chair.

Round Dining Table and 6 Chairs

For bigger households, look at round tables made for six. They need a larger room, so measure first. Some designs have a central pedestal rather than legs at the edge, which keeps the space beneath open and makes it easier to fit chairs around the table.

Pedestal, Extendable and Glass Round Tables

• Pedestal tables: one central support, so no legs get in the way of seating.
• Extendable round tables: they lengthen into an oval when you add a leaf.
• Round glass dining tables: a light top that makes small rooms feel more open.
• Round wooden tables: natural grain and a classic, homely feel.

Choosing Chairs for a Round Table

Chairs with curved backs sit neatly against the edge of a circle. Armless designs slide under more easily, which saves space. White, black and cream dining chairs are common choices, and velvet and faux leather add comfort.

Style Notes

A round dining table works well with a simple centrepiece such as a bowl of fruit or a low vase, and a pendant light hung directly above it brings the whole arrangement together.
