In a 2025 survey of 1,000 employees by audio and video equipment maker Jabra, 94% of respondents said they use small rooms for meetings, while a third admitted they have to take conversations to the corridor because there is no suitable space.

It depends on how the team works: how many internal meetings take place, how many meetings with clients and how many calls happen remotely.

Recommendations from iba, the German office and workplace industry association, state that each person at a table needs at least 70–80 cm of width and at least 80 cm of free space behind the chair to pull back and stand up comfortably. In small rooms, we recommend leaving about 90–110 cm between the table edge and the wall so that people can walk behind those who are seated.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Guideline dimensions:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n\u003Cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">2–3 people: a round Ø 80–100 cm or rectangular 120 × 80 cm table, a room of about 7–8 m²;\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">4 people: a round Ø 110–120 cm or rectangular 160 × 90 cm table, a room of about 9–11 m²;\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">6 people: a 200–240 × 100 cm table, a room of about 11–14 m².\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>A round table works well in a small room because everyone can see each other and there is no “head of the table”. If the room will have a screen for video meetings, a rectangular table with its short end facing the screen is a better fit: everyone faces the same direction and the camera can see all participants.
