Best Types of Dining Tables for Small Spaces
Dining room tables come in all shapes and sizes and are the hub of your dining room experience. To help you expand your dining room, you can find the perfect small kitchen dining table in various shapes and sizes. Let’s discuss which styles and shapes of dining tables are going to elevate your overall dining aesthetic, and create a functional atmosphere in your small dining space.
#1. Round Dining Tables
Round dining tables do a great job of creating a space that is void of sharp corners, making your space feel more intimate. Round dining tables are also easier to maneuver around, which is an added bonus for already tight dining spaces.
#2. Extension-Leaf Dining Tables
If you’re looking for a small dining table for the ultimate versatility, then an extension-leaf table is a great option. Coming in round, rectangle, or square, these tables are able to be made smaller or larger. Drop-leaf tables have hinged leaves that can be folded down when they are not needed. Butterfly-leaf tables have sides that pull in and out from under the tabletop, extending their lengths. Removable-leaf tables allow for users to take the sides off completely, modifying the tabletop size.
#3. Pedestal Base Dining Tables
Pedestal base dining tables eliminate the need for legs at the corners of the table, which allows for more leg space when you are sitting around the table. Rather than the typical table legs, pedestal tables have one center stand, resembling a pedestal, hence the name. They also come in different shapes like oval, rectangle, or square, and can create an aesthetic that is both pleasing and practical.
#4. Rectangular Dining Tables
When you think of the perfect dining table for small rooms, a rectangular table may not be the first choice that comes to mind, but don’t rule it out completely. Rectangular dining tables still have their place for small spaces, as long as you opt for a table that is minimalist in construction and design. A light color table or glass-top can help create the illusion of a larger space. Therefore, a rectangular table may work as long as you give your dining area enough room for sitting at the table and maneuvering around.

How to Choose a Dining Table for Small Spaces
If you’re ready to find the perfect dining table for a small dining space, there are a few things to consider before starting your search. Consider these things when you want to ensure you find the ideal fit for your dining room:
- Budget: Before you start your search, it’s important to establish a budget. Creating a budget for your newest purchase will help you stay focused on pieces that you can comfortably afford while helping you avoid tables that may cause you to overextend yourself.
- Measure: Next, you’ll need to measure your dining space to know just how large or small of a dining table you can comfortably accommodate.
- Seating Capacity: How many people do you regularly need to accommodate at your dining table? If you are a family, you need to make sure you have enough space for each member to sit comfortably at the table, considering things like legroom and table settings.
- Style: Determine which style dining table will best fit your seating needs. Remember that square or rectangle tables will fit larger amounts of guests, while round or oval tables can usually accommodate 2-4 seating spaces. Also consider legroom when deciding which style table to go with, remembering that pedestal tables offer more legroom than traditional four-leg tables.
