open concept - family kitchen dining design help
I have an open floor concept. As you can see we have an extended breakfast room - used to have a big table we never used so we moved it into the formal dining room. We converted our “breakfast area” into a sitting room. Need to add a sofa or a small bench there. My goal is to put some plants, pillows, and string lights to give that sitting room an indoor lounge feel. My big question - I want to add a mid size dining table maybe behind the sofa. So it would be between the family room and kitchen without compromising the sitting area. Would that work? Or am I just cluttering up the whole open feel with sitting and another dining table? Please help. Thank you. Please excuse the mess.... moving around a lot of things at the moment :)

Help! Paint Color for Open Concept living/dining kitchen row home
Comments (2)Before we sold our last home, I had a really excellent painter come in and paint the bedrooms, a few walls of our great room, our home office, and the entryway in Dover White by Sherwin Williams. He loved it and actually used it on a few subsequent projects. We also loved it. My kitchen and dining area were in a color called "green plum passion" by valspar, and the Dover White complemented this color as well. I think it would look great with a satin white trim and a bright white ceiling. We had similar color tile to what you have on your kitchen floor, which went well with the Dover White. A friend recently painted her condo (which is an interior unit and doesn't get a ton of light) in Sherwin Willams 9109 Natural Linen. She says when she buys/builds her next house she'll use it everywhere... Hope these thoughts are helpful....See MoreOpen concept living room/dining room/kitchen design
Comments (1)Its hard to tell the depth/distance, especially from the wall the dog food is to the back of the sofa. I also feel like you could afford to back up the sofa bit more. I think you could have the best of both worlds in the nook area with bench under the left window and a small table with chairs, you might be able to get a chair and an end table next to the door on the right....See MoreNeed Design Help: Open Concept Kitchen Family Room w/o Eat-In Space
Comments (26)Yeah, I know it’s a tall order to come up with something that accomplishes what I want but I figured I'd see if others on Houzz had some ideas. Both sectionals that I'm considering are pretty spacious. The first one is 144” x 79” and the other is 120” x 110.” msteezzy - here’s a picture of the space you asked about....See MoreHelp! 90's open concept kitchen and dining room with fireplace
Comments (9)I wish I had photos. My childhood kitchen had a wood burning franklin stove in one corner, with a loveseat in front of it on a diagonal. That loveseat was my father's office. He'd sit in that seat all winter, from morning to night with his New York Times, answering calls and doing business and even having family chats & business meetings (he was an entrepreneur - working from home long before it was commonplace.) It was a lovely little spot right in the middle of the hubbub of family life. I love your fireplace and think it can be a wonderful spot for you & your family....See More

4 years agoWhere is your dining area if the dining area is a sitting area that you don't need? Also the drapes should be moved to the living area and install Roman Shades in the niche.
You can have a table with a banquette for your bumped out area.

Someone said: if you didn't eat in that nearby spot, why would you eat behind the sofa [for tv watching?]
