Things to Consider When Selecting a Dining Table

May 7, 2025

Choosing the right dining table is about more than just filling a space, it’s about creating a gathering place that fits your lifestyle and reflects your unique taste. At Norwalk Furniture & Design in Lexington, KY, our interior designers are here to help select the perfect dining table. Here are a few key things to consider:

Size

Your dining table should suit the scale of your room and allow for at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides for comfortable movement. We can help you measure and plan with ease.


Shape

Round tables are great for smaller spaces and encourage conversation, while rectangular and oval tables are ideal for larger rooms and formal dining. The right shape brings flow and function together.


Material

From solid wood to sleek stone, the material of your table should reflect both your aesthetic and how you plan to use your dining area, whether it’s for daily family meals or special occasions.


Style

Whether you lean modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you find or create a piece that elevates your space and is cohesive with the rest of your home.


Usage

Will your table double as a workspace or only be used once a week? It's important to choose a table that supports your lifestyle.


With access to dozens of furniture manufacturers and the ability to source or custom-design dining tables, our team takes the guesswork out of the process. Stop by our Lexington showroom or give us a call and let’s create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
