Rectangle Tables

To ensure your dining area feels spacious and functions beautifully, we recommend leaving at least 90 cm of space between the edge of your rectangular dining table and any walls or other furniture. This allows enough room for guests to comfortably pull out their chairs and be seated. If the space also serves as a walkway, a more generous clearance of around 110 cm is ideal, as it lets people move around the table without disruption, even during lively gatherings. Planning this space carefully ensures your dining set is perfect for the moments that matter, from quiet meals to busy celebrations.

The standard height for a rectangular dining table is carefully considered to ensure a comfortable dining experience for you and your guests. Most dining tables, including ours, are typically between 73 cm and 76 cm tall. This specific height is designed to provide ample legroom and allows most standard dining chairs, which usually have a seat height of around 45 cm, to tuck neatly underneath. This thoughtful dimensioning ensures a relaxed and comfortable posture, making the table the perfect gathering spot for everything from everyday meals to special occasions. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

A rectangular dining table offers a wonderfully classic canvas for styling. We suggest starting with a central focal point. A long, low floral arrangement or a series of elegant candle holders can draw the eye along the table's length without obstructing conversations during gatherings. For a layered look, a table runner in a complementary texture adds colour and defines the space beautifully. Consider using coordinating placemats to frame each setting for more formal meals. For daily life, a simple fruit bowl or a single decorative vase keeps things uncluttered yet thoughtful, ensuring your table remains a beautiful and practical centrepiece for your home.

The rectangular dining table is a classic shape where life gathers, but the style can be wonderfully varied. A key distinction is between fixed and extending tables. Our extending designs are thoughtfully crafted for modern living, seamlessly making space for more guests when moments matter. The style is also defined by the surface finish. A ceramic finish offers a sleek, contemporary look and is incredibly resilient, being heat, scratch, and chip resistant. Wood finishes bring a natural warmth, perfect for hosting relaxed dinners, while glass creates a feeling of light and space. The base design, from sculptural metal pedestals to elegant wooden legs, completes the look, ensuring every table is a perfect blend of function and beauty.
