Please help with dining room dilemma
Comments (1)IMO you need to wait until the house is finished then do the decor . I have no idea what this will look like in the new house and IMO 12' ceilings are 2' too high . The dining set looks too big in the pics you post so IMO not going to be an issue it does to me look out of place in that space but if you love it you use it it is your home....See MoreDining room dilemma
Comments (26)To add to chispa’s observation, making another seating group with the white leather sofa that was in the dining room is a possibility too. I’m all for buying new furniture but sometimes reimagining what is already on hand can work nicely too. There are already 9 dining chairs/stools adjacent to each other, possibly 11 if end chairs are added to the table, plus 3-4 more stools at the sofa console. If your lifestyle prioritizes dining seating options more than lounging, you know best. Not trying to persuade anyone, just making an observation....See MoreDining room dilemma
Comments (21)You mentioned your dining room is the access to your kitchen so by using a table with chairs and a bench against the wall that leaves a walkway though the room. Since you say you use the peninsula every day, I show 2 comfortable stools with backs (instead of eliminating stools as you suggested). The wishbone chairs and stools are quite comfortable. With this floor plan, it leaves space for the cabinet with glass doors. All that is shown comes within budget. I've introduced some black but kept some wood for a link to your wood kitchen....See MoreSmall dining room dilemma
Comments (15)It looks like it's an older home with modern furniture which gives you a lot of latitude when choosing a chandelier. Look for something round and hang it about 36" off the table top. Remove the credenza if you feel cramped after trying Beverly's suggestion about rotating the chairs. Removing it would also enable you to center the table in the room better which would look more pleasing. I don't think you need any coverings on those doors or the window. It looks like there is a covered porch outside, so you aren't getting a lot of light coming through. Do you have privacy concerns at night in this room such that you do need window coverings?...See MoreUser
