Round Dining Table For 8

While rectangular models are the most obvious choice for more seating, a round dining table for 8 will create a more balanced arrangement and facilitate conversation.

Not only that, but it will immediately showcase your outside-the-box thinking and eye for interior design!

For example, it can work even better in a square room or a smaller one that already feels a bit cramped.

Because these tables usually rely on a central pedestal or legs that aren't too close to their edges, they also offer more legroom and flexibility, so you can probably squeeze in an extra guest or two if needed.

Now, to find the right round dining table for 8 for your room, here are some things to keep in mind.

To allow everyone to sit comfortably, aim for a diameter of 160 cm (or 170 for more elbow room) and allow 92 cm of clearance on each side. That way, both you and your guests will have enough room to pull out chairs or walk behind the table.

If space is a problem and you're only aiming for such a large table because you occasionally have guests, you can always look for a smaller round dining table that offers an extendable option.

As for materials, wood is still the most popular choice. Because it's so versatile, it can work with most interior styles depending on the table's design. Overall, we recommend lighter finishes if you're aiming for more contemporary vibes or trying to make a small dining room seem bigger. Darker wooden finishes are better-suited for vintage or traditional styles and fairly large rooms.

Another trick to make your room feel airier or reinforce a contemporary style is to choose a round dining table with a glass top.

Metal is a durable choice that usually results in a sleek look, especially in modern or industrial settings.

Depending on your décor, you can always consider rarer options like marble or a faux alternative.

Materials aside, you want your round dining table to look consistent with the rest of your furniture even when it comes to shape and design. For example, decorative elements work better in detail-based settings like shabby chic and French country style, whereas simpler and more streamlined designs can convey minimalist and contemporary vibes.
