Reasons We Love Round Dining Tables
The dining room table is far more than just a place to eat meals. It has literally become the epicentre and social hub of the household. Dining tables are super versatile and making your selection starts with looking at size, shape and material that best suits your home decor. For many families, the traditional rectangular style dining table is the first go-to option. BUT there is another adaptable choice consumers are considering that offers so many advantages that may be just right for your home and space. Here are the main reasons we love a round dining table.
They are ideal for small spaces
Round tables allow for smooth flow of space in your dining area. They have a much smaller footprint in terms of area taken up, making sharp corners and useless space redundant. Fitting a round table into a square area is easy and creates a contrasting look. They are easy to get around and get in and out of seating. A round dining table can really open up your dining space visually and give the illusion of a bigger room.
Perfect for conversation and personal interaction
Noone ends up being the ‘head of the table’ in this situation. No pressure to be the centre of conversation starters, and everyone remains part of the chat. Conversation flows smoothly and getting someone’s attention is far easier when everyone is facing each other. Larger round tables can sometimes lead to difficulty having comfortable conversation with someone directly opposite you, but overall round tables are typically not so large that you can’t have a pleasant dining experience.
Ideal for young and old
Since rounded tables don’t have those sharp corners they are generally much safer when it comes to bumps and scrapes. Many round tables have central leg positioning meaning there are no legs poking out making it more likely to attract trips and falls. This feature is also particularly ideal for game nights where no-one ends up stuck on the corner around a table leg.
