Round Dining Table for 6 FAQs

What size dining table do I need for 6 people?

Most 6-seater dining tables fall around 150–183 cm long for rectangles or roughly 140–160 cm in diameter for a round dining table for 6, with about 60 cm of seat width per person as a comfortable starting point. Always allow around 60–75 cm of clearance around the table so chairs can slide back and walkways stay comfortable.

What materials are best for a 6 seater-dining table?

Reclaimed or solid timber is a popular choice for a 6-seater dining table because it feels warm, wears in rather than out, and suits a wide range of interior styles. You can also consider tables with metal or modern bases paired for a lighter, more contemporary look that still handles everyday family use.​

How much space do I need for a 6-seater dining table?

As a guide, add at least 120–150 cm to both the length and width of your chosen table to estimate the minimum room size needed, allowing 60–75 cm of space around the table for chairs and movement. For tighter rooms or open‑plan layouts, round and oval tables can help improve circulation while still seating six.​

Can a 6-seater dining table fit 8 people occasionally?

Many rectangle and oval 6‑seater tables can fit 8 occasionally by adding chairs at the ends or slightly tightening the space between place settings. It will feel cosier than a true 8‑seater, so it works best for informal meals or short gatherings rather than long, formal dinners.​

How do I choose the right style of 6-seater dining table for my home?

Start with your existing flooring, wall colour, and nearby furniture, then decide whether you want your table to blend in or make a statement. Coastal and Scandi spaces often suit lighter timber tones and simple silhouettes, while modern or farmhouse looks might lean into richer timbers, chunkier legs, or more detailed bases.​
