Round vs Square Tables: Which Ones Are Better for Your Interior Design

The general principle of choosing a table is perfectly understandable: a round table is suitable for small families and fits well in rooms with a limited area. A square or rectangular table is needed if there is a lot of space in the house. But if everything was so obvious and straightforward, then the question “which table is better – round or square” would not continue to arise at all.

Round tables are usually designed for four-six people. If you want a table for more than six people, oval and rectangular tables are preferable.

Round tables with a diameter of 1.2-1.5 meters are suitable for small dining rooms. Firstly, when the table has no corners, it’s easier for the people to fit around. Secondly, round table helps to make a conversation in a small company more comfortable.

Round tables are good when you have kids. In the period, when the kids learn to walk, they always come across corners. It’s one thing to knock on a semicircular countertop and much worse is to touch the nape with a sharp corner.

An important principle that must be considered when choosing a table is the form of the room where it will be located. If the table is on the aisle, round it is more convenient round.

As already mentioned, round tables rarely are calculated more than 4-6 people. In order to fit 10 guests to freely sit at the round table, it should be at least two meters in diameter. For such a table, you need to have an appropriate area in the apartment. A large rectangular table is usually easier to place in a dining room or kitchen space than a large round one. Rectangular tables are more compact than round ones with the same surface area.

If you have a big family, a large square or rectangular table will fit you the best. Someone will draw, someone will do homework, someone will play board games. Such a table is already “not just for lunch.”

Square tables are more flexible to use. For example, you can put a vase with flowers and fruits on one edge, and on the other you can serve breakfast.

Rectangular tables easily allow the usage of different chairs shapes and colors. It is not necessary to acquire same chairs. You can assemble a collection of different chairs and make your dining room look unique.

You always can use a transformer-table. In everyday life, it will look like a small coffee table but on holidays it will turn into a full-fledged lunch table.
