The round table and oval table occupy a place apart in the world of dining room furniture. Their lack of angles gives them a visual lightness that the rectangular shapes do not have, and their geometry naturally favors the exchanges around the meal. Whether you are looking for a small round table for an apartment or an extensible oval table to accommodate many guests, these two shapes adapt to very different configurations. At Meuble House, our catalog includes many models of round and oval tables, in a wide range of materials, styles and dimensions.
Round table or oval table: how to choose according to your dining room?
The choice between a round table and an oval table depends mainly on two things: the size of your dining room and the number of people you want to welcome daily or during your family meals.
The round table is particularly suitable for small spaces and square rooms. It promotes proximity between guests and allows everyone to see each other effortlessly. For a small apartment or dining room, a round table of 100 to 120 cm in diameter is suitable for 4 people. Beyond, the diameter quickly becomes bulky and an oval table then takes over.
The oval table is better suited to elongated spaces and large tabbeds. Its shape naturally fits the length of a rectangular room and allows to comfortably sit 6 to 8 people, or even more with an extensible model. It is a good compromise between the conviviality of the round table and the capacity to accommodate a large rectangular table.
In both cases, plan at least 60 to 70 cm of passage around the table to circulate comfortably. And if your space is limited but you receive occasionally, an extensible model will allow you to adapt the table surface according to your needs.
Solid wood to metal, oval and round tables for all interiors
The material of a round or oval table conditions both its aesthetic and its durability. Solid wood remains the most common choice, for many reasons: it brings heat to a dining room, it is solid and improves over time. Teak, solid oak and acacia are among the most appreciated essences. Naturally oily and moisture-resistant, the wood is also very durable. teak tables The solid oak, with its marked veins, is integrated into a Scandinavian interior as well as into a retro or industrial decor. The wood is also suitable for indoor dining and a covered terrace.
For a more contemporary interior, the tables with a ceramic or glass top offer a clean look and are easy to maintain in everyday life. Combined with a central metal base, they bring visual lightness that works particularly well in open kitchen-lounge spaces.
The base also plays an important role in the general style of the table. A central canned foot will give a retro or japandi spirit, mikado feet in black metal will lean towards the industrial. In a northern interior, a Scandinavian dining table in oak with a central canned foot will prevail as the central room of the dining room.
