Dining In The Round: 7 Inspiring Dining Rooms That Really Set The Table

Round dining tables are a beautiful thing. It’s so much easier to speak with everyone at the party. Your conversations will sparkle when everyone is in on the action. The holidays will be here before you know it. If a dining table is in your future, why not consider a round style? Here are some room settings to inspire you.

Ten foot ceilings always help a room look great. Sigh. It’s always a good idea to buy a table and chairs that don’t come from a set. Your dining room will look more sophisticated (even with a rustic style) if things aren’t matchy-matchy.
If you live in a small space, a round folding table is a thing of beauty when it’s covered with a beautiful table cloth (or two). I’m big on table cloths, too. Doesn’t this table look beautiful?

This room, decorated by French artist, Fabien Verschare, brings back “the covered table in the corner thing”. Okay, it’s not in a corner, but…. still. I’m not ready to greet that thing quite yet, but in this case the table does double duty as a dining table and a decorative statement.

Here’s proof that you can mix the old with the new. And I love the lamp from Kartell. A lamp on the table may seem weird, but it’s simply an alternative to the usual candles. Find one that suits your style and give it a try.

I love these antique chairs. Who do you think will be sitting at this table later tonight? My guess is secretive, smartly dressed (in black) metrosexuals straight out of Rubicon.

This is my favorite. It’s so light and airy. Notice that there is no rug. Who needs a rug in every room? The wood against the white is design perfection. When will dinner be served?
