Size Matters

When it comes to choosing the right dining table size, there are some things you should know. First of all, the size of your dining table depends on how much space you have for it in your home. If you live in a small apartment or condo, then a small round table with four chairs will be perfect for you; however if space is at a premium and/or limited because of an open layout plan with no walls around it (you know what I mean), then we recommend considering larger options that can accommodate eight people comfortably at once (or even more).

Secondly: when deciding how long your dining room table should be compared to its width and height dimensions respectively; make sure they add up exactly as stated above so as not overdo anything! If this sounds confusing or intimidating at first glance – don’t worry too much about understanding everything right away; just keep reading along until now until our next tip comes into play later down below!

It's All in the Shape

When it comes to picking the right shape for your dining table, there are three main categories: round, oval and rectangular.

Round or hexagon tables are best for small spaces because they take up less room and can fit more guests at once. Round tables are more intimate than square or rectangular ones because they're wider at their base and narrower in the middle.

If you have plenty of room on all sides then maybe an oval option would be best suited to accommodate everyone comfortably (ie: grandma + grandpa + kids).

Square dining tables tend to be formal while rectangular ones are versatile enough for both family dinners and parties with guests who want something different from what's going on at the head of their table (or even near it). Rectangular shapes offer an easy way for people with different tastes in decorating styles—you won't have any problem mixing colors or patterns when entertaining guests!

Now for Height

A table height is also important to consider. If your table is too low and causes back pain, it's time to find a new one. The best way to find out what's considered "good" is by sitting down yourself and seeing if anything hurts or makes you uncomfortable.

A good height for a dining room table should be at least 1 inch below the elbow when seated (and up slightly higher than this if you're taller).
