Whilst a skilled inside designer I’m continually referring again to all of our design guidelines posts as a result of let’s be sincere typically design could be a tad overwhelming and really subjective so it’s good to return to the fundamentals of why an area will visually work higher than others. All of it comes all the way down to measurements which is one thing that is smart to me. Not likely the mathematics facet since that isn’t my forte…shhhh, I do know it’s used lots in inside design (whats up greatest buddy aka my calculator). However proportions and spatial planning is ‘my factor‘, it’s in all probability the rationale why I additionally love to arrange and assist others pack to maneuver.
OKAY, sufficient about my odd hobbies, let’s get into these Eating Chair Guidelines…
Figuring Out Your Desk Dimension & How Many Chairs to Purchase

You may’t actually pick your eating chairs with out first understanding the dimensions of your eating desk. I imply you possibly can however it is going to in all probability be simpler to start out with the bigger furnishings piece after which add in your chairs later. So what dimension desk do you could have and what number of chairs will it’s good to buy?
Here’s a seat guideline for rectangle tables relying on dimension:
- 48″ lengthy desk: seats 4
- 60″-72″ lengthy desk: seats 6
- 80″-87″ lengthy desk: seats 8
- 92″-108″ lengthy desk: seats 10
- 120″ lengthy desk: seats 12
And for spherical / sq. tables relying on dimension:
- 42″- 48″ diameter desk: seats 4
- 60″ diameter desk: seats 6-8
Understand that irrespective of the dimensions of your desk it would be best to go away roughly 24″-26″ width of consuming house per individual + a further 6″ between the chairs to account for elbow room and ease of an individual getting up, out of their chair from a totally occupied desk. It will spare your visitor (as soon as we’ve these once more) from an ungainly second of asking the individual subsequent to them to ‘scooch over a bit’ to have the ability to get out to make use of the toilet throughout a cocktail party. The width of most eating chairs shall be between 16″-20″ with the ‘extra snug’ ones within the 20″-25″ vary.
Scorching Tip
To guarantee that the variety of chairs will work along with your desk dimension, measure from the widest level of the chair and from the interior of the legs of your eating desk as a substitute of the highest of the desk.
Two different issues to consider – 1. In case your eating desk is on the smaller facet strive choosing a chair with out arms to avoid wasting on house. 2. If you happen to purchase extra chairs for when the desk is prolonged to the utmost size be sure you determine a chosen spot for them to stay since that may occur solely a few occasions all year long.
Selecting the Proper Scale Chair & Discovering the Comfortable Issue

Now, let’s determine the fitting scale of your chairs to your eating desk. Most commonplace eating tables vary in top between 28″-30″ however there are some eating tables which are extra counter top within the 34-36″ vary so ensure that to take a second have a look at the scale earlier than you ‘add to cart’. We’re going to concentrate on the usual dimensions at the moment as they’re the most typical.
The seat top of a eating chair shall be between 17-23″ and there must be about 12” of house between the highest of the seat and underside of the tabletop or backside of the apron. In case your eating chairs have arms they need to have the ability to slide beneath your desk with ease so be sure you have not less than 7” of clearance between the highest of the arm top to the underside of the desk or backside of the apron.
Talking of top let’s speak about your chair’s total top in consideration to the dimensions of your desk. Which means that you probably have a desk that seats 4, approx. 42-48″ in diameter, avoid the chair that measures 48″ excessive total and go away that to the bigger extra formal eating desk sizes. It can simply really feel extra proportional
6 Elements to Think about that Will Make Your Eating Chair Extra Snug:
- Seat Width: 18”-22″ for extra ‘wiggle’ room
- Go for an upholstered seat or sling seat (see the white director chairs within the photograph above)
- Seat Depth: 20-24” for the lounging component
- Which brings us to the lean-ability of the chair, an angled seat again or upholstered again for these lengthy publish meal conversations
- When you’ve got the house, eating chairs with arms shall be way more ergonomic. In case you are one to have lengthy dinners it is going to permit you to actually chill out as a result of you possibly can relaxation your arms making it simpler to lounge.
- Supplies Matter: It’s a easy proven fact that an all upholstered chair shall be extra snug, it’s like a settee however smaller.
Scorching Tip
On large field retailers web sites have a look round to see if you happen to can search by buyer score, that means you might be beginning with the furnishings items that others have verified to be snug or to be a high quality product.
Now that the college lesson portion of this publish is over, let’s speak in regards to the enjoyable stuff and get into our snug eating chair roundups. 🙂
