Square Dining Tables For Modern Dining Design
The shape of your dining table should be determined by two main factors: the shape and size of your dining room and the number of people you usually sit. At Williams Sonoma, we carry square dining tables perfect for everything from nightly family dinners to entertaining guests. With four equal sides, square tables offer the same amount of space for each of your dining chairs. Find out whether the simple but stylish square shape is the right choice for you.
When to Use a Square Dining Table
As a general rule of thumb, square dining tables are best suited to square rooms or to smaller dining areas. They are also a good option for small families or if you don't often host large groups. In these cases, a square table often feels more intimate than a larger rectangular one. It allows for easier conversation while still offering plenty of space for both place settings and serving platters. If you don't always need the space for four diners, then you can even push the table neatly into a corner to save even more room.
How to Style a Square Table
The symmetrical design of a square dining table is an easy way to bring balance to a dining room, particularly if it is centered with the space. The geometric shape and sharp right angles give each table a modern appeal. Our dining tables are also crafted of contemporary materials featuring clean lines and sleek finishes. Tie the design together with a square geometric area rug that further highlights the shape and style of the table.
Square tables have an easy charm and a practical design that makes them a great choice for many homes. Browse the collection at Williams Sonoma to see if one of our quality square dining tables is the right solution to your dining needs.
