Distance from wall for kitchen table
If the table is 36" in width, then you would be @ 58" to center. IF 38", then you would be @ 59". Take the 40 inches from wall to edge of table, and then divide the table width in half to get the approximate center.

r/DesignMyRoom on Reddit: Dining Table Placement
February 18, 2025 -

We’ve lived here for 3 years and still can’t figure out the best place to put a full sized dining table. The most obvious place is centered in the first photo but it would completely cut off and block the main entry into the home via mudroom in a way we wouldn’t be able to live it (we’ve tried it temporarily). Can’t push something against the wall to the right because of a radiator. There’s a decent amount of space between the mudroom entry and the kitchen, but it’s too narrow to place a table and have walking space on both sides. Really wanting to upgrade the tiny round guy and have a space to host family so any suggestions are appreciated!

r/InteriorDesign on Reddit: Space between wall and dining table
August 22, 2022 -

We bought a dining table that is 4’x8”. The dimensions of the space are 9’x13’. That leaves around 2.5 feet on one end and one side. The other end and other side it’s completely open as it’s a nice open floor plan. I’m worried this isn’t enough space, but we love the table and wondering if it might work because 2.5’ is still on the low end of what I’m seeing is “enough” and since it’s an open floor plan it won’t feel particularly closed off.
