Finding the Perfect Conference Table Size for your Meeting Room
When it comes to designing an effective meeting space, choosing the right conference table is crucial. In this article, we explore how we worked with a client to select the ideal table size for an 18′ x 10′ meeting room, ensuring functionality and comfort for all participants. If you prefer the 2 minute video version, we have that too!
Key Takeaways
- Utilize a conference room size calculator for accurate measurements.
- Consider the shape and features of the table for enhanced usability.
- Plan for future growth by allowing extra seating options.
Understanding Room Dimensions
Selecting a conference table begins with understanding the dimensions of your meeting room. In our example, the client had an 18′ x 10′ space. This size is essential for determining how much room is available for the table and chairs, as well as for movement around the table.
Using A Conference Room Size Calculator
To find the right table size, we recommend using our Green Clean Designs, conference room size calculator. This tool allows you to input your room dimensions and receive tailored recommendations for the table size that will fit comfortably in your space. For our client, the calculator suggested a 10-foot conference table.
Choosing The Right Table Shape
Once the size is determined, the next step is to choose the shape of the table. Our client opted for a boat-shaped table, which is wider in the center and tapers at both ends. This design not only provides a modern aesthetic but also allows for better sight lines and communication among participants.
Features To Consider
When selecting a conference table, consider the following features:
- Power Grommets: Our client chose to upgrade their table with two power grommets. These are essential for keeping devices charged and connected during meetings.
- Base Style: The panel base chosen by the client adds stability and a sleek look to the table.
Final Setup
After selecting the table, the installation process began. The finished product was a beautifully designed conference room featuring an accent wall with a different paint color, enhancing the overall ambiance. The 10-foot table comfortably accommodates 6 chairs, with the potential to add more as the company grows.
Planning For Growth
It’s important to consider future needs when selecting a conference table. While our client started with 6 chairs, they have the option to add more as their team expands. This flexibility is vital for any growing business.
Conclusion
Choosing the right conference table for your meeting room can significantly impact the effectiveness of your meetings. By understanding your room dimensions, utilizing tools like our conference room size calculator, and considering the shape and features of the table, you can create a functional and inviting space for collaboration.
