I like your place - and it works ok from room to room? I don't like the dark paint, which doesn't accent much.... ?

[Is the space to the right of the stove hood any concern?]

Thank you! Yes upholstery is a must. I do not know whether it could be blue. They do not have anymore fabrics in blue. The fabrics they have can be found at ... https://stilles.si/vzorci-tkanin/  N 35 or N18...or suggestion..

U might try turning the dining table. Why the black above hood? It's ok on the wall. Art over table. I like your color of walls.

You can collect the photos that you like in an ideabook.

Then, I suggest that you show your ideabook to a kitchen designer or interior designer who can help consolidate your ideas to create a kitchen that you'll love for years to come.

I think turning your table will help. Then put.some art on the wall...get fabric for your chairs that tie into your living room and art work colors. Black accent wall looks fine. Doors on deep cupboard also unless you put decor in them.

I have lived where I had merely 1 wall of windows - why oh why would you want any black in your kitchen ? :)

A kitchen often doesn't transition superbly to the next room, does it?

After upholstering dining chairs, consider a complementing color, for paint in niches [where your animal statue is]. Maybe a fancier, glossy paint.

Imo, the big thing will be your dining set. Do you think about chalk paint for the traditional wood [not to say it's not good looking] ?

A couple I cat sat for did have a black wall above counters and sink/stove. White cabinets a matte finish quite lovely. They had a wall nearly of windows.

I think that you need different fabrics on your chairs. You need fabrics with dark gray/black and white/cream combination, just like your kitchen. This way, your dining area looks traditional while your beautiful kitchen is so modern with those slab cabinets.

Dear Aqua... How about these two colors for the fabric

The second, lighter fabrics design looks very nice.

On the other side of the table is a large window that overlooks the balcony.

As to darker: how much of dark is near in LR?

Not even this 'bright' but what about a soft Bourbon?

lool I cannot find these fabrics in my country

I can find these fabrics. Look at the fabrics not the chairs

As to the blue-ish - might as well keep what you have! are they much different?

It is different fabric from what I have at the moment. I have a blue version of the following patern...

No photo showed.

Nice space.

Really like your dining chairs ... they look as if they'd be comfortable -- are they?

Your bold black accent wall and stripe above the niche works well (in my non-pro opinion).

To make the transition from kitchen to dining room more synmmetrical, have you considered creating another (shorter/smaller) niche/cabinet on the right side (between the right side of the stove hood and the dining room edge of the penninsula -- and adding a black trim stripe to the top of it as well? Doing that would have the added benefit of enabling you to unclutter the part of the countertop beneath that cabinet by having storage for those items.

First, since you cannot recreate the entire left niche, which is floor to ceiling, on the right, you would need to make some changes to the top niche on the left enabling you to "match" it.

Divide upper niche on the left into two parts with a horizontal shelf, the BOTTOM of which is the same height as the bottom of the stove hood -- putting the shelf at that height because the cabinet you add on the right shouldn't be lower than the bottom of the stove hood. What part of the upper niche is below that would become a separate storage space with either a door or drawer.

You could then recreate and duplicate the top part of that left niche facing the dining room on the right side with a cabinet on the right side of the stove hood -- between the stove hood and the dining room side of the penninsula ... but not necessarily as deep.

You could add a vertical divider in that new cabinet/niche so the part of the right niche that will be facing the dining area would be just deep enough for you to set a fruit bowl. The rest of the new cabinet between a vertical divider and the stove hood could be accessible from the kitchen side of the cabinet -- open shelves or doors as you might choose. Vertical divider would be optional.

Once you get your upper niche spaces more symmetrical, including adding that black stripe at the top of the new right cabinet/niche, you could make the bottom left niche more symmetrical by either adding a single door (w/or w/o adding a shelf to create two spaces) or you could add pair of deep file drawers, with the door or drawers preferably having the same finish and color as the base cabinet of your penninsula.

How about incorporating a dining table with a bench seat along the wall? It would free up some of the dining space and make the area feel visually "larger".

As it is right now, your dining set is clashing with your kitchen colors and style.

I cannot do it at this point in time. In addition, there is enough space. The dinning table and chairs are older than the apartment. They are very expensive and I will not be able to sell them. I also have a coffee table and a working desk of the same style in the living area. I thought to incorporate an industrial style with the bidemier and connect it with the glossy surface which matches the glossy beige on the chairs. The table is supported by black wood, which is why we have the black industrial lighting above.

How about this combination Ikea stainless still

ah the grey accent is much better imo ..

even another grey with blue [that is similar to chairs' blue] --

If more steel/silvery, what about a bit more of legs? ! …. somewhere

Just brainstorming, ok -- make sense to add interest on dining wall? instead of accent paint?

THE BAR-TOP BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND DINING AREA SHOULD BE HINGES. THAT SWING UP. AND THE CABINET SHOULD SWING INWARD INTO THE DINING AREA PROVIDING AN OPTIONAL BUFFET DURING MEALS WHILE OPENING UP THE CRAMPED KITCHEN.

ok..can you show with photos how it should like? The area is not small; however it is a difficult space. Let me show you the whole space..

the kitchen without clutter and how to end this part after the metal aspirator

Question -- do you want another upper cabinet instead of open shelving? or tile?

How to place hinges on this kitchen element. I have drawers in it.

Imo, you should keep looking - I didn't like the 3 you posted - the damask is too fancy/ dressy, especially for look of the living room … ?

whatever color upholstery, could a new chalk paint for coffee table tie in with it? and as you know: pillows!! :)

I would avoid a cabinet at the end of the kitchen. Maybe a metal kitchen organizer...

I agree we should have at lest a small element of black in the fabric... Maybe I will not buy the fabric from the original producer.

in terms of painting on the wall, I have still not decided... I am very insecure in moving to action, until I do not complete all details.. Personally I would like a photography in black frames, but I am not certain it fits the style. Therefore any other style in glass and black frames. Kitchen cabinets are glossy as they fit the glossy wood in the dining room in a light opposite color. They also open up the kitchen and make it appear larger.

Yes, and do you want something similarly cheerful, bright for living room? Currently, it seems dark sofa and table...

I would guess there'd be more chair fabrics from other sources.... ? :)

blankets and pillows in the same fabric maybe ...

I found this, see the black near ceiling.

I need to change the counter tops with granit. This will increase their area. Suggestions on what type of granit...what colour?

DARK

dark...but what colour...it should fit the floor
