A neat round table in the interior helps create maximum comfort. Models can be installed in bedrooms and rooms intended for eating. Ideal for comfortable meetings with friends and relatives. The created style of the room depends on the color scheme and materials of the products. A stylized semicircular display case or dressing table or chest of drawers will help to complement an unusual interior element in an original way. They will emphasize the sophistication of the overall appearance of the room and will focus on a certain part of the room. Models with rounded tabletops have many advantages. Suitable for installation in a home with any size, decoration and furnishings. But at the same time, it is important for owners to take into account some of the product’s shortcomings. Familiarization with all the characteristics will help you choose the right model and location for its installation.
Pros and cons of the round table
When choosing a stylish round table, you need to take into account its disadvantages. This model will not fit into an interior dominated by geometric shapes with corners (squares, rectangles, polygons). It cannot be placed close to a blank wall: the situation will suffer as a result. The cost of most models is in the middle and high price categories. Otherwise, original products have only advantages:
- smooth out the design and emphasize comfort;
- look “easy”: do not overload the room;
- leave enough free space for passage;
- suitable for installation in residential and non-residential rooms;
- allow you to quickly style any room.
The absence of corners makes models with a circle tabletop completely safe. They are recommended for installation in homes where there are small children.
Useful tips for choosing a round table for the kitchen
The variety of round tables allows you to choose the right option for almost any interior style and room size. However, before purchasing, you should objectively evaluate the pros and cons of round models.
Advantages:
- the rounded shape allows you to accommodate a large number of guests;
- a round table saves useful space in the kitchen;
- a kitchen with a round table does not look cluttered;
- safe to use due to the absence of corners;
- models with one leg significantly save space and allow a large number of guests to fit at the table;
- creates a special warm atmosphere emphasizing the warmth of the home;
- In small areas, you can use sliding and folding models.
There are significantly fewer disadvantages in using a round table:
- models with one leg may not be very stable.
If we are talking about creating a cozy homely atmosphere in the kitchen, preference should be given to a round shaped dining table. Despite the fact that this shape significantly saves space in the kitchen, when choosing, it is worth considering the size of the piece of furniture so that it does not look too large in a small area. In addition, it is worth considering the number of family members.
For a small family of two people, a table no larger than 60 cm in diameter is ideal. It is convenient to place it in a tiny kitchen. True, it will be very problematic to supply a large number of dishes. Therefore, even if the family consists of several people, it is worth choosing a larger table. This will allow you to place guests at the dining table.
There are many compact round models that have additional functionality and can be expanded to a larger diameter. This approach is convenient because on weekdays the table does not clutter up the space with its appearance, but when receiving guests it easily becomes large and makes it possible to comfortably accommodate a large number of people.
In large rooms, round tables will also look organic. However, you should give preference to a tabletop with a large diameter. A special atmosphere will be achieved if you place a table in the center of the room and surround it with chairs.
The best option for small and large rooms are transformable tables, which, by adding additional zones, are laid out into a large oval.
Round table in the kitchen
The best decision when choosing a place to install a non-standard table will be to place it in the kitchen. It is recommended to install it away from the work area: in the recreation area. It must be taken into account that the new element must be similar to the already installed kitchen set. They may be similar in style and color. For example, when choosing wooden models, it is recommended to select products that will visually complement wooden, MDF cabinets and cabinets. Non-standard models are suitable for installation in dining rooms. The choice of armchairs and chairs that match the style will help you create a complete group of furniture for dining. In the combined kitchen-dining room you can install a semicircular sofa. Such additions should be created in tandem with the new product. Then the overall appearance of the furnished room will be harmonious.
What style is a round table suitable for in the kitchen?
A round table in the kitchen will be an excellent addition to almost any interior style. Let's look at the most popular ones.
Classical
A round table made of solid wood will dynamically fit into the classic kitchen interior. Moreover, it can be either small and installed close to the wall, or with a large tabletop in the center of the room. In both cases, the rounded shape will organically fit into the interior of the kitchen. Chairs with a high back will add special charm.
When creating a kitchen interior, it is worth considering that a round wooden table made of dark wood will add solidity to the design, and a tabletop made of light solid wood will add elegance.
Country
Country style expresses rural, homely comfort and is used to create a kitchen interior in a spacious private home. Country style is characterized by simple forms and an eco-friendly appearance. The furniture is distinguished by its natural appearance and colors found in nature.
A round table in a country style kitchen should be wooden. It is worth noting that a table in this design cannot be small. A rustic kitchen looks warm, cozy and hospitable.
It is not recommended to use a tablecloth even from natural fabrics. Wooden or ceramic dishes and linen napkins are suitable for sorting.
Provence
Provence style is the embodiment of the leisurely lifestyle of the French province. A comprehensive decoding of the interior allows you to immediately create an idea of the furniture of such a room.
A round table is the best addition to the Provence style in the kitchen. Light, well-processed wood and elegant details of its design will emphasize the sophistication of the design and the impeccable taste of the hostess.
Loft
The possibility of using a round table only in classic interiors is the deepest misconception of many housewives. The ability to organically fit into the sophisticated Provence and brutal loft styles speaks to the versatility of the round shape. The table will differ only in design.
The following materials can be used to create a kitchen table:
- metal;
- glass:
- untreated solid wood.
Despite the round shape of the tabletop, the table will be distinguished by clear edges, rigor of design and laconicism.
The most popular option is a combination table made of glass and metal. The metal structure, which acts as a leg, is complemented by a cold, transparent glass tabletop. Such a table will organically emphasize the loft style and will become almost invisible even in a small kitchen area.
Round table in the living room
There are two directions for using non-standard furniture in the hall. The first allows you to create an amazing decoration element. In this case, low models complemented by a shelf are selected. Usually placed in the center of the living room opposite the TV: to be able to simultaneously watch your favorite programs and have a tea party. Flower vases and potted plants are installed on them. The lower part is used to store magazines and books. In a stylish kitchen-living room with a size of 12 square meters or more, original furniture will become the main element. The remoteness of the cooking area allows you to install any soft chairs next to it. Models without table top styling can be covered with a fabric tablecloth. But more often, owners leave the top part open. This makes it easier to clean and wash.
Choosing a table to suit your style
Any furniture should be selected according to the style of the room where it will be installed. This rule is also taken into account when purchasing non-standard products. The following ideas in the following areas will help you choose the right model:
| Modern | Compliance with the color scheme of the furnishings and the new product is important. To create space and lightness, it is recommended to choose models with a thin tabletop. Products on simplified metal frames will be optimal. |
| Classical | This style should be complemented by a wooden product with straight, carved legs. You can purchase a classic model with a metal frame. |
| Old | Antique models stand out for their special elegance. They are complemented by carved legs and include carved patterns on the sides of the tabletop. |
Rare antique models look truly luxurious. But they are expensive and require careful care. They are massive and suitable only for spacious rooms.
How to properly place a round table in the interior?
Like any piece of furniture, it’s not enough to just put a round table in the living room; you also need to choose the right size of the table and place for it.
If your guest room has a rectangular rather elongated shape, then you should not place a table in its center - it will look better by the window.
At the same time, the size of this piece of furniture itself should be small, but you can purchase a transforming table.
And if your living room has a square shape and is spacious in itself, then a round table will effectively fit even into its middle. In such rooms, a table with a round surface is the brightest detail of the interior.
There are round rooms, and if your living room is one of them, then a round table will look good in it too. Although this combination is quite rare.
Remember that in a guest room a table with a thin tabletop and a fairly small base will look more elegant.
Other tables may look too massive, which will ruin the interior.
Naturally, when choosing the design of a round table, you need to take into account the style of the room itself. In most cases, round tabletops are suitable for any interior, but such a table looks more impressive in a classic style.
Massive tables made of dark wood are ideal for classics, but in small rooms it may seem too large. And round wooden tables with white shades are more suitable for Provence style rooms.
Glass helps to visually reduce the size of furniture. Choose a table with a glass surface or a transparent plastic top.
The model is suitable for interiors designed in high-tech or minimalist style, especially if you add the same chairs to the table.
And if you put transparent chairs together with a wooden table, you get a spectacular creative solution for rooms in a modern Art Nouveau style.
Color and design
The color scheme of the products determines the style and size of the room in which they can be installed. Dark furniture is suitable for spacious rooms. Light and bright products should be installed according to the following hint:
- blue;
Ideal for emphasizing the comfort and special tranquility of a home atmosphere.
- white;

- light green, olive, brown;

- grey.
A universal solution for rooms decorated in pastel, dark, bright colors. A practical addition to any room.
Materials
The ease of care and maintaining the attractiveness of the purchased model directly depends on the quality of the materials. The most unusual are products with a mosaic tile top. Countertops are also made from the following raw materials:
- glass;
The glass surface requires constant cleaning. The tabletop itself can be transparent, matte, or painted with special compounds.
- metal;
Metal models are easy to maintain. Resistant to damage. They have an eye-catching design and are versatile in use.
- plastic;
Plastic models are lightweight and easy to clean. They can be plain, include multi-colored inserts, or be complemented with patterns.

Wooden products are equipped with metal tube legs and carved wooden supports. They have a luxurious look. They require periodic polishing and varnishing.
Capacity of table models
When choosing a suitable dining-type model, you need to take into account the actual dimensions of the tabletop. It should not limit the free space of the room. At the same time, the small size of the furniture should not affect the ease of use. For a family of 3-5 people, a model with a tabletop with a diameter of 0.8-1 meter will be sufficient. So that both hosts and guests can comfortably host feasts, it is recommended to choose a folding model. It can accommodate more than 10 people. Transformable furniture unfolds in a circular motion by inserting an additional central strip. The first type has a high price, but when unfolded its tabletop has the shape of a circle. The second type, after unfolding, has an oval shape. It has an affordable price. For living rooms, you can select models with any suitable diameter for installation near a window or sofa.
Round table in a small kitchen
Using a round table in a small kitchen is the best solution. The rounded shape will help to significantly save space without losing the functionality of the furniture.
In a small kitchen, it is better to move the round table against the wall or in a corner. This placement is considered the most economical. The glass design of the tabletop will make this piece of furniture almost invisible and visually increase the space due to the reflective ability of the material.
There is not much room for maneuverability in a small room; there is a risk of accidentally hitting the table legs or its corners. A round table with one support will eliminate such problems. A common model among round tables is a transformable table, which, if necessary, folds out into an oval shape and becomes a full-fledged dining table for a large family.
A round book table is an even more ergonomic option. It is placed close to the wall, due to this it takes up minimal space. When guests arrive, it can be easily expanded and accommodate up to 10 people.
A round table for kitchen decoration is one of the best solutions, regardless of the size of the room. It is this form of tabletop that will create an atmosphere of comfort and homely warmth.
