Dining Room Tips
Dining Table Size Guide – What Fits in a Dubai 1BHK, 2BHK, or Villa?
Sep
Finding the right dining table is really about matching table footprint to room size, keeping at least 90 cm of walk space, and letting every diner claim roughly 60 cm of edge length. In Dubai, that translates to compact 120 × 80 cm sets for most 1-bed flats, 160 × 90 cm extendables for typical 2-beds, and 200 – 220 cm centrepieces for villas. Follow the guide below, drawn from local apartment statistics, international ergonomics rules, and real Quantum Bazaar product dimensions, and you can dine in essential luxury without crowding the room.
Know your floor area first
Dubai apartments vary widely, but market data shows useful averages: studios run 31-65 m², one-beds 70-120 m², and two-beds 126-186 m². Villas begin around 186 m² and climb past 465 m². Measure the length and width of the dining zone, then mark an outline with masking tape.
Minimum walking clearance
Keep at least 90 cm between table edge and the nearest wall or cabinet so chairs slide out and people pass comfortably.
Seat-edge allowance
Plan 60 cm of edge per diner for everyday comfort; 75 cm feels generous for long dinners. Standard tables sit 71-76 cm high, so pair them with chairs 43-58 cm from floor to seat.
Clearance rule of thumb
| Rule | Metric | Why it matters |
| Walk space | 90 cm | Prevents cramped circulation (Dimensions) |
| Seat width | 60 cm | Allows elbows room (Lamon Luther) |
| Table height | 71-76 cm | Aligns with dining-chair ergonomics (Hardman Design) |
1 BHK size guide
Most one-bed flats have dining corners 1.8-2.2 m wide. A rectangular 120 × 80 cm table for four fits comfortably when centred, leaving 90 cm to walls on both long sides.
Recommended options
- Round Ø 100 cm tops soften tight corners; 30-36 inch rounds seat four with smooth traffic flow.
- Rectangular 120 × 80 cm tables suit narrow kitchens and tuck benches beneath when not in use.
- Consider [Quantum Bazaar “Kimberly” 200 × 100 cm] only if the living-dining zone is open plan; its teak frame keeps visual weight low.
2 BHK size guide
Two-bed apartments often dedicate a 2.4-3.0 m run for dining. A 160 × 90 cm table seats six while still meeting the 90 cm clearance rule.
Shapes that work
- 160 × 90 cm rectangular extendable sets grow to 200 cm for occasions.
- Round Ø 120-130 cm tops keep sight-lines open in square rooms.
- The [Quantum Bazaar “Zest” 220 × 120 cm] is an upgrade pick if you have at least 3 m of clear width; its birch top feeds eight in style.
Villa dining rooms
Villas in Dubai start around 2,500 ft² (232 m²) and give dining rooms 3.5-4.5 m spans. That space welcomes tables 200-220 cm long.
Ideal footprints
- 200 × 100 cm seats eight with generous elbow room.
- 220 × 120 cm hosts ten when paired with slender chairs.
- Oval or boat-shaped tops ease corner bumps while staying grand in scale.

Quick measurement checklist
- Mark 90 cm clearance zones with tape before you buy.
- Confirm lift door width exceeds table shortest side plus 10 cm buffer.
- Keep the dining-chair seat height 25-30 cm below table top for thigh comfort.
- Allow at least one pendant light diameter of 30-45 cm centred 75 cm above table for balanced lighting.
