For a 4-seater dining table, you need minimum 100 sq ft (10x10 ft). A 6-seater needs 120-150 sq ft, and an 8-seater requires 150-180 sq ft. Allow 3 feet clearance around the table for comfortable movement and chair pull-out space.

Dining room interior design costs ₹40,000 to ₹3 lakhs. A basic setup with dining table, chairs, and lighting costs ₹40,000-80,000. Premium designs with crockery unit, false ceiling, accent wall, and designer lighting range from ₹1-3 lakhs.

Rectangular tables suit long, narrow rooms and accommodate more guests. Round tables work better in square rooms and promote conversation. For Indian homes with 4-6 members, a 6-seater rectangular table (5x3 ft) is most versatile. Extendable tables offer flexibility for guests.
