Round Dining Tables
There's a reason round tables win people over: nobody sits at the head, everyone can see everyone, and conversation moves round the whole table rather than splitting in two. At Loom Loft, our round dining tables start at a compact 80cm for a kitchen corner and run up to 150cm for a full dinner party, with extending designs that open out when you need them. Solid wood, glass, marble and sintered stone tops all feature.

Sizing a round table to the room and the number of chairs
Diameter is the number that matters. Around 80cm suits two comfortably and works as a breakfast table, 110cm to 120cm seats four properly, and 137cm to 150cm takes six without anyone knocking elbows. Going larger than 150cm starts to make reaching the middle awkward, which is where an oval top becomes the better answer.
Round tables have one real advantage in a tight room: with no corners, you can push a round table closer to a wall and squeeze past it more easily than a rectangular one. Pedestal and tulip bases help further, since there are no legs at the corners to fight with chairs. The Braxton range shows the sizing ladder well, offered at 80cm, 120cm and 150cm in black, rustic oak or smoked oak.
Extending, oval and the flexible options
An extending round table is the most practical choice for a household that eats as two most nights and hosts eight occasionally. Several designs open from around 120cm to 160cm, and a few go considerably further, opening from 185cm up to 235cm for proper entertaining.
Oval tops are worth considering alongside round. They keep the softness and the sociability but add length, so they seat more without needing a wider room. The Farrow range offers both, as a 137cm round and as ovals at 190cm and 235cm, which makes it easy to compare. For more options, extending dining tables brings them all together.
Tops, bases and finishing the setting
Material sets the tone more than shape does. Solid wood in rustic or fumed oak, mango and weathered pine feels warm and forgiving. Glass and marble read cooler and lighter, and a glass top makes a small room feel more open because you can see the floor through it. Metal bases in stainless steel, brushed steel or a dark powder coat suit a more contemporary scheme.
A round rug under a round table is one of the most satisfying pairings in a dining room, and rugs has circular designs from 120cm to 240cm. For seating, dining chairs has the full choice, and glass dining tables narrows by top material if that's your starting point.
