How would you decorate this eat in area in an open space?
Hello everyone,
I am in need of your expertise and knowledge. We just moved into our dream house, and as of now, we have no furniture. I am excited to begin making it home. I am starting with the eat in area that opens to the family room and kitchen. I have 3d pictures of my actual space with some possible options. The desk next to the eat in area is a built in with a hutch; so there should not be any art work above the desk but there can be some art on each side of the window.
I really like the Bluffton chairs, but can't decide on the table or the finish of the table. I do like distressed tables. I am not sure about the teal color of the chairs. I am nervous about color, but know that i need it. The chairs also come in beige and gray. The first table is 39 inches (too small) and the other table is 60 inches (a bit too big). I am also looking for a light fixture above the table that makes a beautiful statement, but don't want it too be too trendy that it will be outdated in a couple of years. My style is eclectic with touches of transitional, classic and modern. As for the family room, I can't decide which style and layout I like. So I included both. What would you do with this space? I am so grateful for your input.

How would you decorate my formal area?
Comments (13)Beautiful furniture. Although the chaise is very pretty, it reads very bedroomy and kinda lonely(particularly in that bright red color that seems to be competing with your chocolate brown dining room). The chaise by its lonesome leaves no comfortable seating for a conversation, and there are no books in the room and no little lamp table to set a book and a drink on, so the chaise doesn't look like a cozy reading spot, either. Do you have a chair or something in the bedroom that you could swap with the chaise? Since you want to keep it formal, it seems like it would be best to have a loveseat or small sofa, and two smaller arm or slipper chairs, a coffee table and a little table to go in between the chairs. Use the hutch to center the seating arrangement (almost like a fireplace), but switch out the display items so that they are more reading room and less dining room -- add books, photos, non-crystal knick knacks or collectibles and take away the china. Then add a small glass corner cab in the dining room to display the pretty crystal and china....See Morehow to decorate this space? Open to all ideas.
Comments (10)Close the damper to help with the bug problem. Paint the entire thing white. Brass is on the way back now. Hang art 5" above the mantel. It should be no wider than the firebox opening below. Limit other decor to a trio of chunky candlesticks and/or an authentic antique mantel clock....See MoreHow would you place / interior decorate this space? Need help.
Comments (11)If wanting/needing seating to face a tv is not an issue, you might consider parallel rows of seating facing each other with the fireplace on one side and the windows on the other. If you like two seat sofas with seats that recline, that might be worth considering. A lot depends upon how plan to use the room. If you family includes piano players or others with musical talent, this kind of space with comfortable dining chairs that can double as den/audience seating might be where you want to set up for that kind of activity. If you don't already have your dining chairs picked out, then consider investing in chairs that could be used for comfortable casual seating in either the dining or family room space (perhaps even seating with wheels) and you'd not need as much permanent furniture in the foreground space since you could mingle the seating as needed....See MoreHow would you decorate this blank space above the toilet?
Comments (61)Gcubed ~ The light does shine whiter in person, so it may be the camera lighting that makes it appear yellowish. Mistakes were made and lessons learned for sure. The tile may be out of vogue, but I do love the colors and opalescence of it. In person, it goes really well with the cabinet color and sparks joy (to me). :) But then there is the major balance issue that can't be overlooked. As several of you pointed out, the mirror isn't working here and the area above the toilet needs *something*. Also possibly a different wall color to provide contrast and balance as well. Fortunately, these fixes can be done relatively inexpensively. Thanks again to all of you for your input!...See MoreRelated Professionals

5 years agoIf you are keeping the carpet, teal and that green go so beautifully together. I've done paintings with that combo, pea soup green, aqua and a pale yellow look amazing together even if in tiny amounts. I love the eclectic decor, go for it.

Thank you! It’s not a rug but a carpet in the family room. I will be removing it and adding light maple hardwood flooring to match the kitchen and eat in area. But for now the carpet stays. The walls are a light beige/gray. It’s very pretty. Here is another picture with different furniture. I like this color palette but the wing chairs might be too formal for the area. I’n the eat in area, I would like the statement and elegance to be in the light fixture and the color in the chairs and a round distressed table. Any recommendations for these furniture pieces? After this I will begin looking for specific pieces for the living area, but these pics gives a good vibe of what I envision.
Yayagal, I like the look of the sofas And chairs.
