How to choose the best table size for your home
Choosing the right table size can be overwhelming, but we’ve simplified the process for you. Here are some tips to ensure that your custom table size is perfect for your space!
First, consider how many people you want to accommodate. Whether it’s for casual family dinners, or large holiday gatherings, the size of the table depends on your specific needs.
We recommend allowing 20” – 24” per person, and each table comes with a recommended size guide to make the decision easier.
For instance, our rectangular Trestle tables provide the following customization options:
- 60″ Long x 38″ Wide x 30″ Tall: Seats 4 People
- 72″ Long x 40″ Wide x 30″ Tall: Seats 4-6 People
- 84″ Long x 40″ Wide x 30″ Tall: Seats 6-8 People
- 96″ Long x 40″ Wide x 30″ Tall: Seats 8-10 People
- 108″ Long x 42″ Wide x 30″ Tall: Seats 10-12 People
Once you’ve identified the number of people you need to accommodate, consider the space where the table will be placed. Is it an open dining room, a cozy kitchen space, or a small office? Visualizing the table in the space will help ensure that it complements the area.
To confirm your table size and shape choice, you can try two simple options:
- Place a piece of cardboard on top of your current table (if available) to mimic the size of the table you’re considering, and surround it with chairs for visualization.
- An easier option is to use masking tape to mark the exact size of the table on your kitchen or dining room floor.
Both of these options will help you visualize the space the table will occupy and make a confident decision before making a purchase.
Now that you have the right size in mind, go ahead and make your purchase with confidence. Shop Dining Tables!
