Dining tables for 4 people
The dining table for four is a fundamental piece of furniture in most urban homes, apartments, and kitchenettes. This format offers the perfect balance between everyday functionality and space optimization, allowing you to enjoy meals with family or guests without overcrowding the room. Our collection ranges from round tables (Ø100 to Ø120 cm), which encourage easy movement and conversation, to rectangular and square designs that structure the dining area with defined lines. Made from diverse materials such as mango wood for warmth, cement for an industrial look, or tempered glass to visually lighten the space, these tables ensure that a compact size doesn't compromise style or the comfort of your guests.

Dining tables for 4 people: Efficiency and style in the home
Choosing the right dining table for four is key to maximizing the usability of small to medium-sized dining rooms. In these dimensions, the design must be clever: spacious enough to comfortably accommodate four complete place settings (plates, glasses, and serving platters), yet with a manageable footprint that allows for easy movement around the table. At Sklum, we offer solutions that go beyond mere functionality; our tables combine structural engineering—with legs that don't obstruct the flow of traffic or stable central bases—with on-trend finishes, transforming an everyday piece of furniture into the room's aesthetic focal point.
Ideal sizes for four diners
| Shape and Measurements | Technical Advantages | Recommended for... |
|---|---|---|
| Round (Ø100 - Ø120 cm) | Absence of corners, optimizes the perimeter, common central base that frees up space for legs. | Square dining rooms, passageways or breakfast corners where dynamism is sought. |
| Rectangular (120x80 - 150x90 cm) | It clearly defines the space, allowing one side to be attached to the wall if necessary to gain space. | Long dining rooms or for families who also use the table as a work/study area. |
| Square (100x100 cm) | Perfect symmetry, great depth for placing plates in the center, compact design. | Couples or small families in symmetrical and small spaces. |
| Lightweight Materials (Glass/Metal) | Transparency and thin profiles that reduce the visual weight of the furniture in the room. | Small apartments or interiors with little natural light. |
Benefits of a well-sized dining room
- Smooth circulation: The correct size ensures that there is at least 90 cm of free space around the table to move chairs without hitting walls or furniture.
- Social intimacy: Tables for 4 people encourage a closeness that facilitates conversation without the need to raise one's voice, creating welcoming environments.
- Versatility: These are multi-purpose pieces that work equally well in a large kitchen (office) as a main table in the living-dining room.
- Adaptability: Many rectangular models allow you to add chairs at the ends to accommodate 6 people on occasion.
Tips for choosing your 4-seater table
To make the right purchase, visualize the shape of your room. If your dining room is square, a round table of 100 or 110 cm is the most natural and reliable option (without sharp corners). If the room is rectangular, opt for a table of 140x80 cm or 150x90 cm to complement the architectural lines. Also consider the type of chairs: if you have armchairs, make sure the table has sufficient clearance underneath (approximately 70-75 cm) or a central base that allows you to store them underneath when not in use, freeing up valuable space.
Frequently asked questions about tables for 4 people
-
What is the minimum diameter for a round table for 4 people?
The minimum functional size is Ø90 cm, but we recommend Ø100 cm or Ø110 cm to have enough space for plates and glasses without feeling cramped.
-
What advantages does cement have for small tables?
Cement is very resistant and provides a visual weight that anchors the design, ideal for industrial or modern styles, and is usually suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
Is it better to have 4 legs or a central pedestal for small tables?
On tables of reduced dimensions, the central leg is ergonomically superior because it prevents the table legs from colliding with the knees or chair legs.
-
How to clean a natural wood table?
Use a damp, well-wrung cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive products and use coasters to protect the surface from heat or moisture rings.
