Nowadays, the area of ​​the house is not very large. The living room and bedroom have fixed positions. Only the position of the dining room has no accurate definition. Therefore, the dining room in the house is usually sandwiched between the living room and the kitchen. Of course, there are also many people who have a dining room as soon as they enter the house. Regardless of the size of the house, the dining table is a piece of furniture that takes up a lot of space. It is not used at ordinary times. It is only put on the table when eating. There is no other function to use, but it is indispensable. Therefore, when many people choose a dining table, they not only consider its aesthetics, but also its practicality! When buying a dining table, is it better to have a round table or a square table? I didn’t listen to the advice of people who have experienced it at the beginning. My family bought the wrong one. It is too impractical!

1. The difference between dining tables

1. Rectangular dining table

One advantage of a square table is that it can be placed against the wall. The square shape can save a lot of space. When there are few people at home, you can put it against the wall. When there are more people, you can push it out and add a few chairs. But when there are too many people, the right angle of the corner is too uncomfortable, and the people on both sides are also very far apart to pick up food. If there are children at home, the right angle will pose a safety hazard, but it blends well with the overall style of the home.                                                                 

2. Round dining table

In the past, dining tables at home were mostly round. A family can eat more harmoniously at a round table, which has the meaning of reunion, and it can also take care of everyone's problem of picking up food. Therefore, the tables in hotels and restaurants are generally round. However, it wastes a lot of space and greatly reduces the utilization rate of space, which makes many people hesitant.

2. Comparison based on the situation

1. Size of the house

If the dining room is not very large, it is generally best to use a square dining table. The smallest one has two seats on each side. When there are many people, adding a few more seats is enough, which is suitable for cooking for a family. The smallest round dining table has to accommodate four chairs, and it can only accommodate four chairs at most. If the house is large, both are acceptable.

2. Population

If it is a family of three or four, plus parents, it is better to use a round table, which will look more united. If there are many people at home all year round, a round table is more practical for dining, while a square table has a stronger sense of distance. If there are basically 4 to 6 people throughout the year, a square dining table is completely sufficient!

3. Folding and extension saves space

In fact, there are some chairs that can be completely folded up when not in use, freeing up a lot of space. Of course, there are also dining tables that can be extended to expand the area. They are originally round, but when there are many people, they can be extended to an oval shape. These are also ways to save space.

Of course, most homes don’t need this kind of dining table. After all, most people now have their own small family outside, and the big family spends less time together, so at least 70% of people will choose a square table.
