Home Decorating Design Dilemma Kitchens

What color table/chairs would you recommend?

3 years ago

This is our kitchen- we are currently in the market for a new kitchen table and chairs. What color do you think would suit the space? We have a lot of dark wood and dark brown leather couches in the attached living room. Our current table is square dark wood with black leather chairs. I don’t hate it, it’s just old.

A picture of adjoining room would help to get an idea of the style of furnishings. How many people do you need to accommodate for your kitchen/dining area?

It’s messy but this is the attached room. We currently have a 6 person table but could also do 4

Here's a bunch of table options- http://www.polyvore.com/mid_century_modern_dining_table/shop?query=mid+century+modern+dining+table I'd just wax the chairs, and redo the cushions in a cool fabric. http://www.fabricguru.com/p-chair-pattern-upholstery/tiles-tapestry-fabric-so-happy

I think this combo would be perfect on your house. I would look at painting the house and porch stone wall SW Dorian Gray. House trim and porch wall ledge (which is green now) SW Alabaster and the porch floor and steps one shade darker than Dorian Gray which I believe is SW Acier. For the front door I would choose a warm barn red like SW Flower Pot. I just painted my office Dorian Gray and at the paint store it looks really taupe/brownish but on the wall it's gray and what I like about it it doesn't look like a cold dreary blue gray. Very warm and feels like a color that you won't be tired of soon! I think a blue door would look great too if you're not a fan of red.

No paint color fixes dark kitchen. You need more lighting. That is the fix. Then it could be painted black like all of those Insta kitchens and still be plenty bright.

What coffee table and chairs would you put in this open family room?

Since you have a lot of wood, I like the more open coffee table that you have mocked up. Since you have boys, I probably wouldn't spend money on a "nice" one until they're older and you know they're not going to ruin it. Target and Wayfair have some similar to your picture. Overstock does too. I like the square shape to offset the swivel chairs. I also like leather/faux leather chairs for your kitchen table. (unless you're afraid the boys will rip them). Here's one I just found on Overstock that only has the faux leather seat: https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Bension-Contemporary-Espresso-Dining-Chairs-Set-of-2-by-FOA/11138466/product.html?refccid=UWAXBBLHSYQZXRSAQBKBOO4V4I&searchidx=15&kwds=kitchen%20chairs&rfmt=

I think I would lean towards a light colored table, like a distressed White or ivory, to compliment your walls and countertops.

An oval table with substantial weight would work nicely. I would choose a light color, such as Farmhouse White or Weathered Barn. Bassett Furniture has custom made finishes you can choose from and mix & match:
