Quick answer: To furnish a Miami dining room, start with a table that leaves about 36" of clearance on every side. Add chairs with roughly 24" of width per seat, and choose counter stools (24"–26" seat height) or bar stools (28"–30") to match your counter. Candace & Basil offers dining tables, dining chairs, stools, sideboards, accent tables and made to order ottomans, with delivery across Miami.
Key takeaways
- Leave about 36" between the table edge and walls or furniture.
- Counter stools suit 36" counters; bar stools suit 42" bars.
- Sideboards add storage without crowding open-plan condos.
- Custom ottomans and benches are made to order in your fabric and size.
How big should a dining table be?
Measure the room, then subtract about 36" on each side for chairs and walking space. Allow roughly 24" of table edge per person. A 72" rectangular table seats six comfortably, and a 48" round table seats four. Browse dining tables and pair them with dining chairs, including upholstered styles.
Counter stools or bar stools?
| Surface height | Stool type | Seat height |
|---|---|---|
| 36" kitchen counter | Counter stool | 24"–26" |
| 42" bar | Bar stool | 28"–30" |
Allow about 26"–30" from the centre of one stool to the next. Shop bar & counter stools.
Do you need a sideboard?
In open-plan Miami condos, a sideboard quietly separates the dining area from the living space and stores serving pieces, linens and bar essentials. Choose one about 6"–12" shorter than your table on each end. See sideboards.
Where do accent tables and ottomans fit?
Accent and side tables should sit within easy reach of every seat and be close to arm height. Shop accent tables and coffee tables. A custom ottoman can be a footrest, extra seat or coffee table. Ours are made to order in your fabric, size and shape to match your sofa. Browse custom ottomans and benches & ottomans.
