We know you don’t want to trawl the net (or stores) for hours looking at tables for small dining rooms. So allow us to showcase some phenomenal options for you right here, right now.
As an interior design studio we’re faced with small dining rooms all the time. Clients often think they have to forgo a dining room altogether in this case, but that’s not true. You just have to be clever with the piece you purchase.
It comes down to size, of course, but also shape and material. And the good news is this: the dining table may be small but you can still style it with a lovely centrepiece if you keep it simple.
I’m positive once you’ve scrolled through these small tables for small dining rooms you’ll be ready to lock one in. So have your credit card at the ready, because these are absolute stunners!
1. Billund Dining Table
We’re starting with the Billund Dining Table above because it’s gotta be our fave from all of the tables for small dining rooms in this post.
There’s such a wonderful blend of form and function here; it looks stunning (of course) but works so wonderfully in a tight space too. It’s 110cm wide when out in full form but folds down against the wall to a width of 64cm.
And it comes in three tabletop colour options too so you can choose the tone that best suits your dining room.
2. PS 2012 Dining Table
The PS 2012 Dining Table from IKEA is still going strong. It looks sensational and has the fold-down capability you’re likely to want if your dining room is on the smaller side.
Two of the sides fold down on this one, as you can see above. It’s great for those of you who’ll only seat one or two people day-to-day, but need the ability to fold it out to seat four when the time calls for it.
The bamboo top on this small dining table brings some texture and organic vibes to your space too, which is nice.
3. Pinto 4-Seater Dining Table
Avoid chunkiness in your small dining room with the beautiful Pinto 4 Seater Dining Table from Fantastic Furniture.
Not only does this table sport a helpful diameter of 90cm, but the chrome detailing and glass material will keep your small dining room feeling open and spacious.
And, just when we thought this product couldn’t get better, the price tag is delicious too. We love seeing the merge of affordability and beauty here at TLC Interiors.
4. Hjordis Scandi Dining Table
The glass top of the Hjordis Scandi Dining Table is a smart choice on the material-front. Any transparency you can get into a small room is going to make the space feel larger, so we’re onto a winner there.
The legs are quite thin as well, which is good, and the round shape makes moving around it super easy. The width is 106cm, which is perfect for a small space. It ticks all the boxes. And how nice are the chairs, just quietly?
5. Coco Dining Table
I love the modernity of the ash colourway in this small dining table, the Coco Dining Table from Life Interiors.
The four legs are super thin as well, so visually it’s not at all dominant. The width is also a standout feature; a humble 90cm, which means it’s not going to be imposing in the room and you can easily tuck four small dining chairs underneath.
6. Toto Dining Table
Well, the price point is a stunner, we have to start there. But once you get past the bargain factor, this small dining table has a lot to offer.
Like many of the others in this roundup, we have thin legs: check. Wonderfully glossy white top to bounce light around: check. And a great diameter of 90cm: check.
There’s nothing not to love about the Toto 4-Seater Dining Table from Fantastic Furniture. And the chairs you can pair it with are pretty divine too.
7. Tulip Dining Table
I’ve never met a Tulip Dining Table I didn’t like. It’s possibly my fave of all the small dining tables here. I even used one in my Exhibition Street Project, above and the result was just dreamy. Great colour, great size, and great look.
The single leg running down the middle of this table makes it perfect for a small dining room because the profile is kept minimal. Plus you can squeeze chairs more easily around it if you need. It’s a lovely luxe option.
8. Replica Jean Prouve Dining Table
Made for tiny dining rooms is the beautiful Replica Jean Prouvé Dining Table. At 80cm wide he’s ideal for a two-person dining scenario and he comes in at under $550.
The only thing to keep in mind with a table this small is to ensure your chairs aren’t too big. If your dining chairs look larger and more imposing than the table, you’ll throw the whole scale off. A low-back chair with a slim profile will do the trick nicely.
9. Miles Dining Table
Check out the Miles Dining Table from Castlery. It’s no secret that this piece is visually stunning with its solid acacia wood and mid-century influence, but it’s the slim 80cm width of this one that’s got us.
Feel free to push this table hard up against the wall and relocate the dining chairs to the side to truly utilise space in your small dining room. It doesn’t always have to be a round table for a small space after all.
10. Box Frame Drop Leaf Dining Table
We’re simply obsessed with the Box Frame Drop Leaf Expandable Table from West Elm. Everything from the mango wood top, the antique bronze frame and the functionality of this table is truly striking.
Not only does this beauty expand to a total of 122cm, but its sleek and sharp edges will allow you to nestle this table into a tight corner or up against a wall when it’s not required for entertaining guests.
11. Danderyd Dining Table
If you’re in search of a compact dining table, look no further than the Dandery Dining Table from Ikea.
Not only is this bad boy a bargain with its included bench seat and two dining chairs, but its simple nature will keep your small dining room feeling light and airy.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the beautiful leg detail, which is going to bring some charming Provincial style to your space.
12. Johansen Scandinavian Dining Table
No need to worry about overwhelming your small space thanks to this slimline beauty from Interior Secrets. The light timber finish, in addition to the sleek and minimal profile will keep your dining room feeling open and airy.
The curved sides on the Johansen Scandinavian Dining Table also help soften the space, with no need to worry about bumping into sharp corners.
13. Wren Bistro Dining Table
Carve out space in even the tiniest of dining rooms with the Wren Bistro Table from West Elm.
This 75cm wide piece of goodness sports a solid mango wood top, an antique bronze base and three thin legs, making this the perfect solution for your small dining room needs.
Pair it with some divine leather dining chairs like the ones above and you’re on your way!
14. Stensele Dining Table
This little stunner is a compact buy at only 70cm wide, so it’s perfect for a small dining room or eat-in kitchen nook when a few of you want to gather around for a bite.
The black finish on IKEA’s Stensele Dining Table means it’ll fit right into a number of interior design vibes. Plus it comes with a double hook under the tabletop so you can hang things there if you need. We love a small dining room table that’s more than meets the eye.
15. Magnus Square Dining Table
Avoid chunkiness in your small dining room with this stunning 90cm piece from Icon by Design.
Not only does the Magnus Square Dining Table ooze mid-century charm, but its square profile allows this table to easily be positioned into a tight corner to ensure your space isn’t too crowded.
This little gem would be the perfect addition to a small dining room in an apartment or unit.
16. Cosmos Dining Table
The Cosmos Dining Table from Life Interiors has us completely smitten.
While the carrara marble top and timber column are an absolute showstopper on the material-front, it’s the profile that has us screaming from the rooftops!
This table is so clean and refined that it would make the perfect addition to any small dining room. Pair this table with equally sleek dining chairs like the ones you see above and the look is complete.
17. Parkinson Round Dining Table
Lovers of a luxe interior design vibe will find the Parkinson Round Dining Table a hard one to pass up.
With a sophisticated marble finish top and striking black centre leg, this small dining table measures just 90cm in width.
You get the best of both worlds with this one; a dining table that takes up almost no space and yet one that makes a dramatic statement.
18. Marble/Gold Halcyon Dining Table
A marble and brass luxury-feel dining table for under $400? Yes, it’s possible!
This Halcyon Dining Table from Amart Furniture it the perfect additional to a small dining room, and there are chair options to match perfectly too!
How striking is the brass centre leg on this beauty? Not only does it make an eye-catching statement but it allows for chairs to slide under easily. We love.
19. Provincial Oak Drop Down Cafe Table
When it comes to small dining tables for small dining rooms, does it get more charming than the Provincial Oak Drop Down Cafe Table? It does not. It really does not.
The best part about this table, apart from the visual, is the 86cm top that folds down when you need it to. The distressed under frame on this one gives it a rustic feel as well, so you can bring some tactility to your space.
20. Marlow Dining Setting
You get more than meets the eye when you snap up the Marlow Dining Setting from Harvey Norman.
Sure, you get the classic country vibes that come from a style like this one. But you also get the small dining table and four chairs, all for under $2000.
This is a small dining room solution that’s packed with charm. And get a load of how durable and sturdy it is. A clear winner in our eyes.
Well, that’s our fave selection of small tables for small dining rooms. If you have any questions you can drop them below, or feel free to share where you’ve scored a fab small dining table from. We’d love to know!
could you please tell me how much this table is and how I can purchase it.
Hi Chris! We have a small open plan dining/living room. We are looking for an expandable rectangular dining table that seats 4-8. We don’t want the depth of the table to exceed 90 cm. Do you have any suggestions? Our style is Scandinavian.
Thank you!
Hey Lynn, try Matt Blatt or Brosa. Or just use Google and switch to the “shopping” tab.
We were planning on getting a tulip table after reading your post about them, but then we saw a version at IKEA and the base was filthy from everyone’s feet on it. It turned us off and we went for a standard round table instead. I suspect the material in the IKEA base is different from the higher end ones, but have you ever noticed this when a table has been in use for a while.
Hey Rebecca, it’s definitely a consideration. Like any material, if people put their dirty feet or shoes on it, it will get messy and need a clean. Might happen more often with a tulip table due to the wider base.
