Panda Bear

last year

Options are 96, 108, 120. All with 42 inch width.

I’m also looking to put a 60 inch long lighting piece over the table.

Ceiling is 9 feet with tray ceiling.

Are you planning to have a buffet ?The tray ceiling will also affect where thetable gets placed so maybe post a simple to scale floor plan and add dotted lines where the tray is . You need IMO a min of 36" all arond the table for seating so the length does not matter as much as the width which with 42" you are fine but if a buffet is going at the end of the room we need to know that . I also like to know your style and the the table the light fixture all these things have to be taken into account

How to size a dining room table to the room?

If you have a china cupboard that will be on one of the 12 foot walls, and it is no more than 20" deep, you can fit the table into the room, but the person at the end of the table adjacent to the family room, may need to push the chair back into the entry way between dining a family room to get up from the table. Arithmetic: 80" long table = 6' 8". Recommended chair space = 3' (36") x 2 chairs = 6' Table + chair space = 12' 8" Room length = 12' 40" wide table = 3' 4" Table + chair space = 9' 4" Room width = 11' Maximum depth for china cupboard = 1' 8" = 20"

I also think of it as a passage way and not a dining room. Here's what you might be able to do as a breakfast nook:Even then it is still tight. I had to guess on the island dimensions. At best, you could use the smaller rectangular table. You should have 36" for traffic paths, but in a tight space, you could squeeze through with 30".

what size rug under 52 X 42 dining table?

You need around 3’ larger than the table measurements because you want diners to pull back chairs and keep all 4 legs on the rug. Diagram is to scale with a 42” x 52” table in an 11’ x 11’ room. The “rug” is 7’ x 8’. Not a popular size, but you can have one cut to size and blend which could be beneficial to you. I tried doing a square rug, but the 10” difference in width takes away almost a foot of rug.

Your living room is too narrow for typical use. The width (11.8 feet) is barely acceptable for a small bedroom. Have you considered making the living room wider?

Given info below, you could tape out the size (including space behind chairs) to see how it feels. Have to allow for other furniture if adding. (Hope I calculated correctly lol.)

Width of room 11 ft

Table width is 42” plus 36“ behind x 2 sides: 9.5ft

Length of room: 19 ft = 228“

The 102” table will work (plus 36 inches on each end) = 174” which will allow for 4 chairs on each side if you need that many.

Thought this might help as well
