Eclectic Matchups: 10 Round Dining Tables With Chairs

Round and oval dining tables make conversing with dinner guests easier and prevent the dreaded corner bump as you walk past. And with a pedestal table, you also get the benefit of being able to squeeze in a few extra seats in a pinch — perfect for holiday entertaining, when everyone seems to bring a friend. Whether you already have a table you love and are looking for fresh ideas for chairs, or you’re starting from scratch, see which of these 10 table and chair matchups appeals to you.

1. Dark wood pedestal table with Loop chairs. Lighten the mood of a traditional, highly polished dark wood dining table with a set of delightfully curvy Loop chairs.

Originally created by Frances Elkins in 1930, the Loop chair has become an icon. Seek out a modern interpretation of the classic in black or white.


2. Polished stone table with leather chairs. Play with texture by pairing up a sleek stone table with sculptural leather chairs. The metal bases on both the table and chairs tie the set here together.


3. Tulip table with banquette and modern chairs. Here a plush banquette invites you to sink in, while midcentury chairs provide room for more people to sit at the gorgeous custom walnut table.


In another iteration of this look, a buttery leather banquette and Wishbone chairs are warm and inviting; the white Tulip table provides a crisp counterpoint.


4. Black lacquered table with Chinese Chippendale chairs. A black lacquered dining table is incredibly elegant. Keep it fresh and light by pairing it with Chinese Chippendale–style chairs painted white with bright upholstery on the seats.


5. Rustic pedestal table with Louis-style chairs. A raw wood table has a simple farmhouse vibe. Elevate it by bringing in a group of curvaceous Louis-style chairs with neutral linen upholstery.


6. Café table with bentwood chairs. Channel an old Viennese café by pulling up a few vintage bentwood chairs to that café table. A cushy window bench provides additional seating in this colorful dining nook.


7. Modern table with Louis Ghost chairs. Perfect for small spaces but appropriate anywhere, clear chairs like the Louis Ghost chair by Kartell take up no visual space. Balance their sleekness by pairing them with a warm wood midcentury-style table.


8. Colorful bamboo table with matching chairs. Sometimes matching is better than mixing. Case in point: a vibrant teal glass-topped bamboo table and matching chairs — perfect for color lovers who want to inject a bit of poolside glamour inside the house.


9. Flea market table with rustic stools. A slightly wonky, one-off flea market find wouldn’t look right with a matched set of perfect chairs. Track down a few charming little stools or mismatched wooden chairs (more comfortable) instead. Fill out the arrangement with a cushioned bench on one side.


10. Ornate antique table with sculptural modernist chairs. A table this stunning begs for special treatment. Instead of surrounding it with matching dark wood chairs, play off the sinuous curves with a few sculptural modern chairs instead.
