Round Dining Tables: For Intimate Gatherings and Elegant Flow

If you're looking to create a warm and sociable atmosphere, a round dining table
is a wonderful choice. With no corners, a round table naturally brings people together, encouraging conversation and shared experiences. This makes it ideal for relaxed dinners, casual meals or long Sunday lunches.

Our round Belmont Dining Table is a charming piece with a weathered oak top and a softly curved pedestal base, available in both 150cm and 120cm diameters to suit a variety of room sizes. For something more decorative, the Abingdon Dining Table offers a grand yet graceful design, with an intricately carved leg base and beautifully grained weathered oak top. Its timeless form and sturdy construction make it a striking focal point for any dining space.

Round dining tables make the most of compact spaces and are perfect for rooms where you want to soften angular lines. They work particularly well in square rooms or open-plan layouts, helping to create a natural flow while maintaining a sense of intimacy.

Oval Dining Tables: A Perfect Balance of Space and Style

Oval tables combine the visual softness of a round table with the linear practicality of a rectangular one, creating a graceful and versatile presence in any dining space. Their curved edges help soften a room’s geometry, while still offering generous seating and surface area. This makes them particularly well-suited to narrower or longer rooms, where a rectangular table might feel too angular, and a round one may not provide enough space.

The Belmont oval dining table captures the essence of this shape, crafted from weathered oak with elegant curved pedestal bases that suit both everyday use and more formal occasions. For added flexibility, the Brunswick extending oval table is available in two sizes, with removable leaves that make it easy to adapt your space for anything from weeknight dinners to larger gatherings.

Whether fixed or extendable, oval tables offer a practical yet elegant solution, blending seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Rectangular Dining Tables: The Classic Choice for Versatility

Rectangular tables are a timeless and practical choice that suit almost any space. Their long, clean lines help define dining areas in open-plan layouts and offer generous seating, making them ideal for both everyday use and larger gatherings. They also work well in narrower or smaller rooms, where they can be placed against a wall when not in use, maximising floor space without compromising on function.

The Sherborne extending dining table is a bold, traditional design with pedestal bases and the flexibility to seat up to twelve guests when fully extended. The Belvedere offers a more streamlined silhouette with twin pedestal ends, bringing a refined and relaxed feel that suits both formal and informal settings. For something with a classic, heritage-inspired look, the Montague dining table features hand-turned legs and a monastery-style form, available in two sizes to suit different spaces.

Rectangular tables remain a go-to shape for many households, thanks to their versatility, capacity and timeless style. Browse our range to find the perfect fit for your home.

Extending Dining Tables: Flexibility Without Compromise

If you need a table that adapts to your lifestyle, an extending design is the ideal solution. It offers everyday functionality with the option to expand for larger occasions, giving you the best of both worlds. Whether it’s a family dinner, a festive gathering, or a last-minute get-together, extending tables allow you to seat more guests without permanently taking up extra space. When not extended, they remain well-proportioned and unobtrusive, blending seamlessly into both traditional and modern interiors. Many of our designs feature hidden extension leaves that are simple to use, allowing you to adjust your dining space in moments.

Our Brunswick extending dining table is a customer favourite, available in large and small sizes and handcrafted from weathered oak. It offers exceptional flexibility with its removable leaves, while maintaining a classic, elegant look. The Sherborne extending table is another popular choice, with a bold pedestal base and generous proportions. It includes two extension leaves, allowing you to expand from seating eight to twelve with ease.

Explore our flexible extending tables and enjoy the freedom to host without limits.
