Dining Tables for a Small Room

Short answer

90 cm
behind every chair
160 cm
small-room rectangle
110 cm
small-room round

Leave 90 cm behind every chair. A small room usually wants Ann 160 cm or Luna 110 cm. A 240 cm table in a 3 m room will not pull out.

A small dining room is a floor plan, not a furniture category. The table that seats eight in a brochure needs 90 cm of chair space on every side. This guide is which of our sizes still leave that gap, when a round 110 cm beats a 160 cm rectangle, and why an extending table is not the answer we sell. Made in Sweden. Tables are made to order; there is no free try-at-home.

How much room around the table?

Ninety centimetres from table edge to wall so a chair pulls out. One hundred and ten if people walk behind seated guests.

Add that to the table. A 160 x 90 cm table with 90 cm on all sides wants a 340 x 270 cm space. If you do not have it, the table is too big, not the chairs.

Which size in a small room?

Ann 160 cm, four seats, or six with the ends. Luna 110 cm, four seats, no corners.

Skip 240 and 280 unless the room is long and narrow and the 90 cm sits on the short sides only. Custom width on Ann or Diana can slim a galley; it does not invent floor behind the chairs.

Round or rectangle when the room is tight?

Round in a square. Rectangle in a galley.

Luna 110 cm plus walk space is a circle. Ann 160 cm uses a corridor. Do not put a 140 cm round in a 220 cm-wide room and expect 90 cm behind every chair.

The extender temptation

We do not make one. A leaf you open twice a year still occupies daily floor if the closed size is 160 cm and you already have no 90 cm gap.

If Christmas is the only eight-person night, six at 160 cm with the ends, or a second folding table from a cupboard, is more honest than a mechanism we do not weld.

Measure the pull-out, then the table

Frequently asked questions

What size dining table for a small room?

Usually 160 cm, or a 110 cm round, if you can keep 90 cm behind the chairs.

Is a round table better in a small dining room?

In a square room, often. In a narrow room, a 160 cm rectangle uses the length.

Can I seat 6 in a small room?

A 160 cm table that is 90 cm wide, with a chair at each end, seats six. Check the 90 cm pull-out.

No. We make fixed 160, 240 and 280 cm, plus custom fixed lengths on Ann.

90 cm to pull out; 110 cm if it is also a walkway.
