To give you an idea of my style, something like this is pleasing to me-straight lines, but not boring. The color may be a little dark and I'm not sure we have room for a square shape, but I like the chairs. http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=1894fac&DeptID=70752&CatID=70840&SO=0amp;SelDim=4294957900%7e&CatSel=4294953291%7cdining+collections&Ne=4294957900+586+838+580+8+18+904+949+833&x5view=1&shopperType=G&N=4294953291&Nao=0amp;PSO=0amp;CmCatId=70752:70840

What about something like this? I think the lines would work with the table, and the single large button would be a charming nod to the curtain pattern. Fresno dining chair Not this fabric, they have tons of other choices, and I would likely go with something lighter to balance all the dark in the room. Maybe this one? I like how it seems to have the richer brown and gold tones in the drapery woven into the lighter fabric. audrey basket Good point about measuring to be sure the table will fit, with room to move around and pull out the chairs. Once you get all the drapery ironed and put up permanently, you can decide on a wall color. You will have a lot of dark fabric in that smaller space, so I would be inclined to go lighter on the walls. I would think a softer cream, maybe SW Napery. You could also do a warm grey or a soft blue.Be sure to paint the ceiling the same color, so that the walls fall away a bit. For lighting, I think a drum shade pendant would be great, and again would hint at the circles in the fabric. Deciding on that might wait until you get your chairs (if they are going to be fabric) and your wall color in place, as that might change your decision about the drum shade color/pattern.

Do you have any table or floor lamps in your living room? You need to add more layers of lighting in all rooms, not just can/recessed lights. Did you have lamps on the nightstands when you looked at the Accessible Beige swatches? My nightstand lamps have two bulbs each for lots of light. And you might want to consider covering more of the dark floor, for example in the dining room and entry hall, with lighter rugs, as in the living room. A can of paint is cheaper than an in-home consultation. Paint an entire wall in the bedroom and in the living room and live with it for a week, in all sorts of light. Don't go by swatches, even large ones, and you also can't judge properly with a swatch on top of your current color. I can't help with paint colors because I don't know SW at all, and I'm not a greige person. I know blogger/designer Kylie M. Designs has a lot of paint posts and uses Sherwin Williams colors, https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-4-best-warm-gray-paint-colours-sherwin-williams/ https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/sherwin-williams-best-gray-greige-paint-colours/

If I could have white or off-white blinds and trim, I wouldn’t even be adding drapery panels. My reason for adding off-white panels is to “lighten” and “brighten” the space. As I wrote in the first paragraph: I am currently renting this 1440 sq ft apartment in a large complex, and I am not allowed to change wall color, blinds, etc. I am working within these limits. Fortunately, the blinds are much less noticeable when open. They were closed only to control the light for the photos. Apparently using the word “bright” was misleading. I’m not referring to color. The choices I’ve made since moving here include glass-top tables, clear acrylic (counter stools), reflective metal finishes, and off-white fabrics in a variety of textures for throws, pillows, and small ottomans. They really do lighten and brighten the space. I want to continue that as I select the drapery panels. I have gradually moved toward a much more minimal style, but case goods that are decades old already had clean lines so I didn’t have to start all over. Eclectic and developed over time, this style gives me a serene simplicity that I really like. [My thanks goes to Houzz contributors as well as local designers.] The New Zealand wool area rug is new, and it took me over a year to find: I love it. It is intentionally similar in color to the porcelain tile, adding texture and picking up every color in the sofa. The questions I’m asking are re-stated below: 1) Which hanging style of panels would give me “neat stacks” and complement my furnishings? 2) Where might I find a 42”w x 21”d x 18”h rectangular coffee table with [a thick] glass top and simple metal legs similar to the EA Ferri ottomans as shown in the first photo at the top of this dilemma?
