A round white dining table is a look that never gets old! Airy and classic – a white table can mix with a myriad of styles and tastes. Our family was looking for a round dining table for 6, which could also fit 8 comfortably.

Our Round Dining Table For Eight
When we were considering a white dining table, I had one in mind from the beginning for our family. I loved it because it wasn’t too farmhouse, too modern, too casual…. after spending quite a bit of time on google, I was convinced it was the one for us and bit the bullet.
We went with the Downing table. I love, love this table. This is set up perfectly to fit our family of six.
This table comes in two different round sizes!
So far, the top is looking great and like it will withstand abuse from our kids.
Update: We have been eating on it for just over a year at this point and it looks great! I shared a 1 year update on our Downing Table, with a review here.
What is the Best Round Dining Table to Buy?
The best round dining table is one that fits your lifestyle and all the members of your household. To figure out the shape of your the two main factors that should determine the shape of your dining room table should be the shape and size of your dining room or dining area and the number of people you usually seat around your dining table.
What size round dining table do I need?
You will want to give yourself at least two but ideally three feet of space between the walls and the chairs when pulled out. This way, nothing feels or looks like a tight squeeze, and you are able to walk comfortably behind chairs too.
To figure out the maximum size of your dining table, measure the dimensions of the room or breakfast nook and then subtract by five feet. That’s the maximum ideal table size! If you don’t entertain much, account for your household plus two extra seats.
Pottery Barn recommends this guideline:
- To seat four to six people, choose a round dining table with a diameter between 40 inches and 60 inches
- For eight people, consider oval dining tables, round tables with leaves, or round tables over 60 inches
What Material is Best for Your Table?
Our table has to withstand constant wipe-downs, spilled cereal, tomato sauce, etc. If you are in the same stage with the little ones, you need a table with a strong finish. Think of your dining table as an investment; you want it to grow with your family!
- Wood is ideal for frequent use.
- Synthetic or laminate is not as strong, but more affordable.
- Marble has a high cost and needs more care, but it is stunning and lux. Try a faux marble top if you have little ones!
- Metal is easy to clean. They are modern so take care they don’t make your space feel cold.
What style of Dining Table is Best?
White round tables aren’t just for coastal or beachy styles, so pay attention to the legs. They can lean mid-century (hairpin legs or straight), farmhouse (trestle legs), contemporary (tulip base), traditional (pedestal), etc.
Are Round Dining Room Tables Popular in 2023?
Round dining tables haven’t ever gone out of style! But as home design trends lean slightly more towards balance and simplicity, the kitchen table and a dining area that is not the kitchen island will be trending in. Community is more important than ever, and a round table accomplishes just that.
Benefits of Round Dining Tables
There’s more good news – the beauty of a round table is it’s easier to squeeze extra seats in with no sharp corners. Has an extra guest stopped over? They can squeeze right in!
Good Flow for the Space
The dining table is the center of the family activity or the household hub. So much life happens around the kitchen table. The round shape is a great flow for a kitchen nook or a corner, as opposed to hard angles. A round table makes the best use of space in a crowded spot! And as long as there is enough room between the chairs and the wall, a round dining table is the most welcoming shape.
Fosters Better Connection
A table with a circular shape is more inviting for conversation than rectangular one, meaning while eating, nobody gets left out, and everyone has equal seating. Community, connection, feeling a part of the conversation – this is the purpose of sharing a meal, whether this is accomplished with two people or a large group!
Great for Small Spaces
If you’re working with a small kitchenette, an apartment, or a galley kitchen, you can squeeze a round table for 2 into the corner. Or butt the table up against a window where two seats can face out. This makes for a cozy and intimate dining space.
The only small space I wouldn’t recommend a circular table for is a long narrow dining space. The angles of the room make it best suited for a narrow table.
White Round Kitchen Table Inspiration
Here are a few of my favorite kitchen nooks using white round dining tables. Enjoy!
This pretty kitchen nook with the faux marble table is number 5 off my list – comes in a larger size too – and belongs to @Palmanndprep.
Gorgeous kitchen from Jane At Home! I love simple eucalyptus on the table, don’t you? In addition, those bistro chairs (in Fog) under that basket light fixture make the perfect duo! This little nook looks casual but upscale all at the same time.
Lovely blue and white nook from Lemon Stripes. Bistro chairs for her in blue.
Lilypad Cottage has a little white round dining table. In addition, it looks great at that built in bench!
Lovely. Thanks House Beautiful for this inspo. Now that we have a round table, we will stick with this shape for our family.
