Top 5 Chairs for Small Round Tables
Have you found the perfect table to fit your space? Or maybe you are building it yourself? Either way, you need the right dining chairs to complete the set. Here is our guide to the top 5 recommended chair styles for small, expandable round dining tables.
What size is a small round kitchen table?
Our small round tables start at 36" wide, perfect for 2 people. Two chairs will fit nicely around the base. These tables fit in any small kitchen or breakfast nook. If you have a bit more room, 42-48" round tables will seat 4 people comfortably.
We build all our round tables as a solid top or with leaves to extend the table. Most round dining tables can self-store one leaf within the tabletop. The addition of gear driven slides makes it easy for one person to extend the table.
Solid Wood Dining Chairs for Small Round Tables
Does your solid wood round dining table set receive everyday use? Do you have children or pets in your home? You may want to choose solid wood dining chairs to complete the space. Select chairs built from hardwoods such as Maple, Red or White Oak, Cherry, Hickory and Walnut to design the dining room of your dreams.
Every chair style is available in any wood or color, so how to choose the best styles for small tables? Solid wood dining chairs can be heavy and overwhelm a small table. We offer a line of sturdy, real wood chairs scaled down to fit around smaller tables. Even though we offer our chairs with arms, side chairs will fit in better under the tabletop.
Traditional Chair Styles
If your style leans toward traditional, check out the Fostoria and Arlington Side Chairs. Scaled down to fit small tables, these chairs maximize comfort with steam bent wooden backs and scooped seat profiles. The classic design will lean towards farmhouse with the addition of a neutral paint or stain color.
The only difference in style with the Fostoria and Arlington is the number of slats in the back. The Fostoria features 3 smaller slats, with the Arlington featuring 2 wide slats. We also offer the Arlington with the option of a straight top board and square posts, giving it a slight rustic appeal.
Farmhouse Chairs for Small Dining Rooms
The Winston Side Chair is a classic farmhouse style, especially with a black stain. The lower height of the back and the small profile overall fit neatly around small tables. This is a Windsor style chair, also available a bit larger as the Millcreek Side Chair.
Other farmhouse design options include the adding a distressed, roughsawn chair frame to highlight a paint and glaze color with texture like Coastal White. Finish the chair with a plank distressed seat to match the style of your tabletop.
Small Mid-Century Modern Chairs
The Cordelle Dining Chair is a mid-century modern classic. The sleek profile and lower height overall complement minimalist interior design styles. Other mid-century style choices include the Windsor and Millcreek chairs.
Upholstered Dining Chairs for Small Tables
For those looking to create a formal dining area in a small space, check out the Parson Side Chair. Many upholstered dining chairs tend to be oversized in a small area. The Parson Side Chair has the softness and elegance of a fabric chair, scaled to fit small tables.
Our upholstery options include a complete line of performance, easy living fabrics that make clean up a breeze. Water and stain resistant choices that are 100% polyester are a durable option for families.
Formal Dining Chairs for Small Spaces
Just because you have limited space doesn't mean you can't create a formal dining room. Aside from choosing upholstered chairs, there are small wooden chairs with a formal style. The Oregon Side Chair with a rounded top board and sleek profile is a great option.
Traditional style chairs look great in a formal setting with a medium to dark stain color. Maple or Cherry wood are our recommended wood types for formal dining rooms, bringing a smooth grain texture. Other formal style options include adding an upholstered seat only to a wooden dining chair.
