Round
Four in a tight room, no corners to walk into and everyone can see everyone. Stops being practical much past six.
Dining rooms
The table everything
gets decided at.
A dining room is arithmetic before it's anything else — table size, seating clearance, pendant height. Get the numbers right and it's the warmest room in the house. Get them wrong and dinner is a queue.
ArithmeticYour room decides
Your room decides
your table.
Not the other way round, however much you liked the eight-seater in the showroom. We measure the space first and size the table to it — because a round eight-seater needs a diameter most Bangalore flats simply can't give it.

What makes it workSix things between
Six things between
a table and a meal.
A dining room is arithmetic long before it's atmosphere — get the numbers wrong and no centrepiece saves it. These are the six things standing between a table you bought and a meal that actually works.

Table sizing
Under the tableclothThe building work
The building work
a good dinner hides.
01
Lighting circuits
Pendant and ambient, split
The pendant over the table and the room's background light run on separate dimmers, so homework-bright and long-dinner-low sit one switch apart.
02
Floor under chairs
Guarded against the daily drag
Chairs dragged in and out a thousand times a year chew a soft floor. We spec a scratch-tolerant surface here and pad the legs so it never wears a halo.
03
Kitchen air
Smells kept from settling
An open kitchen fires cooking smells straight at the dining. We plan the exhaust and a cross-draught so the room doesn't hold last night's fry.
04
Server power
A discreet point at the buffet
One socket at the crockery unit for a hot plate, kettle or warming tray, so serving a crowd doesn't mean a lead trailing in from the kitchen.
05
Wall load
Fixings sized to a full unit
A loaded crockery or bar unit weighs far more than it looks. We fix into something solid, not bare plasterboard, so a full cabinet stays on the wall.
06
Acoustics
A hard room, softened
A dining zone is all glass, stone and tile — it rings. A rug underfoot or a soft drape nearby takes the clatter out of a big, noisy meal.
Three ways to seat itRound, long, or
Round, long, or
part of the room.
02
Rectangular
Six seats and up — the honest answer for a family. Sizes cleanly against a wall or floats in an open plan.
03
Open-plan
The dining folded into the living space — no wall, just a defined zone with its own light and its own 900mm of room.
In motion
The room fills up
around the food.
A dining table is the one piece of furniture the whole house gravitates to — homework at four, dinner at eight, the long conversations after. The lighting is wired so the same table carries all of it.
The numbersFour measurements
Four measurements
nobody checks until it's built.
900mm behind every chair, 600mm of elbow per person, 750mm to the pendant, 450mm from seat to top. Miss any one and the room fights you at every meal — so we set them on paper before a single piece is ordered.
- 900mm walkway behind every seat
- 600mm of elbow room per person
- Pendant at 750mm — above the eyeline, below the glare
- 450mm seat-to-top so you're not eating hunched

A crockery unit isn't decoration — it's the reason the table stays clear. Closed below for the everyday, glazed and lit above for the set you were given at your wedding and use twice a year.

We nearly bought the eight-seater. They measured and showed us why six was the answer.

Questions
Asked often
Round for four in a tight room — no corners to walk into and everyone can see everyone. Rectangular from six up. A round eight-seater needs a diameter most Bangalore flats can't give it.
750mm above the table top. High enough to see across, low enough to light the food and not your eyes. This is the single most commonly wrong measurement in Indian homes.
Increasingly, no — most new flats do better with the dining as part of the living space. What matters is the 900mm behind every chair, wherever the table goes.
