When it comes to creating warm, inviting spaces in the home, few furniture pieces are as timeless and functional as the round dining tables. Whether hosting a casual family breakfast or an elegant dinner party, the versatility of round tables makes them a desireable choice for contemporary Australian living. So let’s explore why at Nordic Design we take great pride in crafting round timber dining tables here in Adelaide, and have been doing so for over 50 years…
Why Choose a Custom Round Dining Table?
The circular shape of a custom round dining table promotes connection and conversation. Unlike traditional rectangular options, a round table ensures no one is at the ‘head’ of the table, inviting a more inclusive experience. By lacking any harsh corners, this makes it ideal for both intimate meals and larger gatherings, where flow and functionality are key.
Choosing a custom round dining table also allows for greater flexibility in size and design. Whether you’re furnishing a compact apartment or a spacious home, a bespoke solution ensures your table fits harmoniously with your space and lifestyle.
Of course, by going down the custom path (no matter what style you choose), will allow you complete control over what design, size and finishes you have. Something rarely offered in the furniture industry, at Nordic Design we are thrilled to provide our customers with a truly custom offering.
Craftsmanship in Every Curve
At Nordic Design Furniture, every solid timber round dining table is handcrafted in South Australia by our local craftspeople, using premium materials. We source sustainably collected hardwoods that are not only beautiful to look at, but also enduring. The strength and integrity of solid timber ensure that each dining table matures gracefully with age, becoming a true heirloom piece. This often results in our pieces being passed down to generations and enjoyed for more years to come. This is something particularly special to us – especially when we see our original pieces re-enter our doors after many years for some extra love in the way of resurfacing.
With over 50 years of Australian made experience, our round timber tables are defined by precision, quality, and a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship.
In addition to our timber dining tables, we craft beautiful dining chairs from solid timber frames., completed in your choice of premium upholstery. Partnering with quality suppliers such as Zepel Fabrics, Warwick Fabrics, Wortley and Shan Leather.
Design Options Tailored to Suit Your Home
Design versatility is at the heart of our approach. From classic pedestal bases to contemporary minimalist lines, our range of round dining tables is fully customisable. You can select your preferred timber selection, finish, size, and base style to suit your space and personal aesthetic.

What Size is Right for You?
Determining the correct table size is as much about intended use, as it is about dimensions. A 6-seater round dining table typically requires a diameter of around 135cm, offering ample room for daily meals and occasional guests. For larger gatherings, an 8-seater round dining table (roughly 160–180cm) ensures generous seating without compromising on intimacy. A round dining table is also particularly nice for special holidays such as Easter and Christmas, because it allows for easy sharing of food and drink, where every person at the table can comfortably help themselves.
If you’re limited on space, small round dining tables provide practicality while maintaining the inviting shape. For those with generous dining rooms, large round dining tables offer an elegant centrepiece for hosting in style (and comfort).
Another consideration can be an extendable dining table. Starting as a small round dining table, it can extend into an oval dining table when needing to seat more people for gatherings and special occasions. This is particularly convenient for apartment living and those with smaller dining spaces.
Caring for Your Timber Table
Our quality round dining tables are crafted to stand the test of time. To preserve the beauty of your Australian made dining furniture, we recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth and the occasional application of natural oil or wax, depending on the finish. Avoid direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, and always use coasters and placemats to protect the timber surface.
We’re always here to advise on the best care practices to ensure your table remains a cherished feature in your home for years to come.
