- How do I choose the right dining table for my space and lifestyle?
When selecting the perfect dining room table, it’s important to consider the shape and size of your space, as well as how you plan to use the table, whether for family meals, candlelit dinners, casual breakfasts, or hosting a games night. A small dining table may be ideal for apartments or kitchen nooks, while a large dining table provides ample room for dinner parties and entertaining guests.
Materials also make a difference. A wooden dining table like oak or walnut offers a timeless, warm aesthetic, while a marble dining table adds a sleek, modern edge. King Living offers timber, marble and ceramic dining tables in a selection of signature timber finishes.

- How high should a dining room table be? A standard dining table height is typically 750mm to 770mm (30 to 30.5 inches). This height pairs well with standard dining chairs, which usually have a seat height of around 450mm (18 inches), offering comfortable legroom.
- How many people can sit around a dining table?
Seating capacity depends on table shape and size. As a general guide:
- 1200mm round table (47 inches) – seats up to 4 people
- 1600mm rectangular table (63 inches) – seats 4 to 6 people
- 1800–2000mm rectangular or oval table (71 to 79 inches) – seats 6 to 8 people
- 2400mm+ rectangular table (95+ inches) – seats 8 to 10 people
- Allow at least 600mm (24 inches) of width per person for comfortable seating.
- How much space should there be around the dining table?
To move comfortably around your dining table and pull dining chairs out with ease, aim for at least 900mm (35 inches) of clearance on all sides. In smaller rooms, 750mm (30 inches) may work, but 900mm+ (35+ inches) offers a better experience.
- How wide is a standard dining table?
A typical dining table is 900mm to 1000mm wide (35 to 39 inches), giving enough space for your place settings and a centre arrangement. Round tables usually range from 1000mm to 1600mm in diameter (39 to 63 inches) depending on the number of seats.
