How Open-Concept Kitchens Changed Dining Furniture

Expert Insights for Your Home

Great furniture decisions start with good information. Trend impact showing how layouts affect furniture choices At Mega Home Furnishing, we believe well-informed buyers make the happiest homeowners — and this guide gives you exactly the knowledge you need.

Getting the Dimensions Right

Allow 60cm per person along the table edge and 80-100cm between table edge and nearest wall for chair movement. For a 4-room BTO, a 4-6 seater table is usually most practical.

Pedestal-base tables make it easier to tuck chairs in compared to four-leg designs — helpful in tight dining areas.

Table Shape Matters

  • Rectangular — Most versatile, maximises seating, fits against walls. Best for narrow HDB dining areas.
  • Round — No sharp corners, intimate dining, good for square spaces.
  • Oval — Generous surface with softer visual flow.
  • Extendable — Compact daily, expands for festive entertaining.

At Mega Home Furnishing, we carry all shapes to suit every Singapore home layout.

Chair and Table Pairing

Standard table height: 73-76cm. Seat height: 43-48cm. This pairing ensures comfortable posture for long meals. Armless chairs tuck under more completely in tight spaces.
