How to Measure the Circumference of a Table

1. Method One.
2. Move the chairs out from under the table and set them aside so you can easily access the edge of the table.
3. Hook the metal lip of a tape measure along one edge of the table, then extend the tape measure across the entire table.
4. Multiply the diameter of the table by pi, or 3.14, to find the circumference.

Diameter – On circular tables, the diameter is the length across the top from side to side, through the center. An easy way to find it is to hold the end of a measuring tape and one spot, extend it to the other side, and then slowly move the extended end back and forth until you find the longest point.

Most rectangular tables are between 36″ and 40″ wide. A table that seats four should be about 48″ long. To seat four to six people, look for a table that is at least 60″ long. For six to eight guests, your table should be at least 78″ long.

For example, if your table measures 42 inches wide and 72 inches long and you want a drop of 9 inches, add 18 inches to each side. The resulting dimensions — 60 x 90 inches — is the tablecloth size you should purchase. For a round table, measure the diameter of your table and add twice the desired drop.

Dining Table Size Guide

Comfortable seating should allow 24 to 28 inches of table edge per seat. For example, a rectangular table 36 to 42 inches wide and 6 feet long can seat six to eight. Round tables up to 60 inches can seat four — or six if the larger table has a pedestal base.

Round tables have smaller footprints than rectangular tables of the same size because there are no corners that actually waste space. This means that you it is easier to fit a suitable round table into a smaller space compared to a standard rectangular table.

RULE: Chairs should be able to slide under the table with ease with or without arms. Ideally, there should be 7″ between the chair arm and apron of the table but that’s not a hard rule. Just for your reference dining chair seats are usually 18″-19″ high and dining tables are typically 30″ high.

A general rule of thumb is that your sofa should not occupy the entire length of a wall. There should be at least 18” of space on either side of the sofa. If you want a sectional with a chaise then the long chaise portion should not extend more than halfway across the room.

A couch is too big for a room when:

1. It takes up the full length of the wall it is placed on.
2. It crowds the surrounding furniture.
3. It does not leave enough space to properly distance the television.
4. Makes it difficult to get in and out of the sofa or use it comfortably.

The sofa should be about two thirds the size of the entire room. If you decide to add in a coffee table too, that should then be two thirds the size of the sofa (if no chaise) or one third to half the size of the sofa if it has a chaise.
