Why you need to take into account the size of the kitchen table in the interior

Choosing a dining table for your kitchen or dining room right
To choose the right size, it is enough to have an idea about the standards of kitchen furniture, which manufacturers adhere to.

Single person seating at the dinner table
The calculation is as follows: one person comfortably occupies an area of the table top equal to a rectangle of 60x40 cm; multiplying these numbers by the number of family members, we obtain the minimum permissible dimensions.

The choice of table size depends on the number of seats and its shape.
Minimal - it means that several large sizes are also permissible, even desirable. For example, the free area can be used for placing a flower vase or other decor. Transfer the presence of "extra" space is easier than the lack of necessary.

Kitchen tables should be selected according to the rules of ergonomics
Standard Kitchen Sizes
- 4 people: 80x120 - 100x150
- 6 people: 80x180 - 100x200
- 8 people: 80x240 - 100x260
- 12 people: 80x300 - 100x320
Dimensions are in centimeters.
There are also miniature tables for two 60x80 cm - as practice shows, it is risky to furnish them. Imagine a couple of newlyweds: it is logical to assume that there are only two dining places. But if they invite friends, decide to have a baby, or will relatives come to them?

A bit of backup space is needed, even when used occasionally. Therefore, the optimal size of the "small family" dining table is 80x120 cm. Alternatively, it can be folding: able to increase the area when needed.

The standard form is a rectangle that can comfortably seat four people.

Rectangular table

The rectangular shape of the dining table is the most convenient both in everyday use and during festive dinners.
Above, we talked about a rectangular shape - the most common, most convenient option, which allows you to get the maximum effective area of the tabletop, even with minimal overall dimensions.

Wooden tables are the most durable, durable and reliable and can be rectangular in shape.
Square shaped table

Folding square table - the perfect solution for a small room
Less versatile. A square has the same length of edges: in fact, this can only be a table for four (dimensions of about 100x100 cm or a bit more). It is best to equip with a similar piece of furniture the food processing unit of small square footage, of square shape - the design elements that repeat the geometry of the room look most advantageous.

The square table can be placed near the wall or in the corner, while it looks more compact

Round table

A distinctive feature of the round-shaped tables is their elusive charm and elegance.
A family may consist, for example, of five people.How to seat an odd number of eaters so that everyone is comfortable? A good solution would be a round table: the circle can be easily divided into the required number of sectors without a residue.

Yes, and it looks more original - in fact, it is the appearance that often prompts the consumer to buy such furniture. Although this is not its only advantage, but the most obvious.

Table models with no sharp corners will be the best solution if there are small children in the family.
Standard sizes (diameter in centimeters):
- 3-4 persons - 110
- 5-6 persons - 130
- 7-8 persons - 150
Other sizes exist, but they are not standard. The larger the circle, the more unused space remains in its center. Too huge tables contradict the laws of home ergonomics. Although their use is permissible in banquet halls, where pompous furniture is designed to emphasize the luxury of room design.

Oval table

The oval table is more convenient than a round one and more original than a rectangular one, and also safer, since it has no corners.
Oval combines the advantages of round and rectangular: capacious, practical, and it looks nontrivial. Good choice for living room or spacious modern kitchen.

Speaking about the size standards, we will consider only the length in centimeters, since the width of the oval-shaped dining table is always about one meter.
- 4-6 persons - 150
- 7-8 persons - 180
- 9-10 persons - not less than 210

Small-sized kitchen - still the objective reality of many apartments. For the sake of space, sometimes the owners are forced to have a dining table butt against the wall, thereby halving the effective area of the table top.

Retractable table for a very small kitchen
Nonstandard narrow long worktops stylized as a bar counter (including folding, folding) that fit well into the space of small kitchens help to avoid this. If the dimensions of the room, on the contrary, are extremely huge, non-standard will serve as the best choice here.

For large dining rooms, long rectangular and oval tables are perfect, complemented by appropriate chairs.
For a spacious dining room, a rectangular or oval table over three meters long is simply necessary for aesthetic reasons.
