Making Round Extendable Dining Tables Work in Rooms with Bay Windows

A round extendable dining table can turn a bay window from an awkward alcove into the most inviting seat in the house, provided a few details are right. In this guide we explain how to measure the width, depth and sill height of your bay, which diameters tend to suit typical Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and why a central pedestal base makes such a difference when angled walls limit where chairs can go. We also look at which way the table should extend, so the extra length opens into the room rather than against the glass, and how to choose slim chairs that respect the shape of the bay. Practical advice on glare, window dressing, radiators, uneven floors and pendant lighting completes the picture, along with ideas for rugs and sills that help the bay feel like a natural part of the room.
