Dining Room Design Advice Please
Hello Designers, I desperately need advice on what to do with my dining room. I love my table and I have had for many years. But I just don't know how to make it work in this room. I'm open to all ideas and pictures to help me make a decision. I was thinking last night maybe I should paint it or have it stained another color. I would love to have a sideboard. The table is so big it dormant the room so it would have to be something long and narrow. Right now I'm just lost and need help. I have looked at other post but still nothing is registering with me. Also, a family member suggested getting rid of it. So, after that commend I decided to come here and ask for help. Thank you for taking the time to help me. I have tried to take different pictures. I hope this helps.
I appreciate and welcome all suggestions.

Advice and opinions on formal dining room update please!
Comments (16)Not sure this product is available everywhere, but here is some general info on limewash. It will provide a very matte finish, unlike most faux finishing techniques, and is perfect for walls that are not perfect. Applied with a large brush. This is how walls used to be painted. Provides a visual texture to the wall without actually changing the surface of the wall Try googling it for videos so you can see how it is applied and locate a supplier in your region. You might find it at the local independent retailer that carries Benjamin Moore. 'Interno Lime Wash is a unique lime based coating which is designed for interior use, and replicates the soft weathered patina of a traditional lime wash. Its unique formulation allows the lime to gently 'bloom" through the paint, creating soft tone variations which add depth, texture and that Mediterranean look without the necessity of exposure to the elements."

Comments (10)Is another living room the greatest need you have in your house? Will it be for the kids to hang out in? Or a quieter adult retreat? We turned our dining room into a home office with matching desks facing each other placed in the middle of the room, so together they are about the same size as a dining table. It looks like it might be large enough to fit a modestly sized sofa in there, with a small round table with 2-4 chairs that you could use as a gaming table. Any musicians? What about a music room?...See MoreLooking for lighting and design advice for 16 ft. dining room walls
Comments (3)Take a picture of the whole room not "the wall", try also standing up on the landing and shooting the room from there as well. Also, this room is narrow, so if you could draw a floor plan. And we need to see the ceiling. You can drop mono-rail lighting down and and focused light on the art, Tech lighting, WAC lightng try looking at their inspo pictures. I can help you more than that without some wide room shots and a floor plan. And yes that picture is way too small. You could even try hanging a real used window frame there. But I would probably do two pictures on that wall because of the size of the room. Another option, if there is an outlet on that wall and electrician maybe able to add a wall outlet....See MorePlease help me with design of living room / dining room
Comments (3)Will you be keeping dining table and couches for a while, as you mentioned you will be replacing? That will dictate suggestions for lighting, etc and even ideas for a better possible layout. https://blog.modsy.com/home-design-tips-guides/layout-guides/living-and-dining-room-layout-designs/ If replacing shortly, if you could provide more details in regards to your taste, needs, and style. Either way, could you provide better pictures of the whole space and what your plans are with the furniture. Repainting, if you go that route, should be the last decision....See More

But in one pic it seems like glass top might be a bit small for table base. If you did get a larger top, make sure it is tempered glass and same thickness as glass you have now.
I think the table and chairs are fine, style-wise. I would just add an updated chandelier - and one that is a bit larger than what you have now.

3 years agoAdding to much tan can make a room seem dull and outdated, you have a gorgeous table what i would do is add some greenery, such as an artificial green wall. The green really makes tan pop and it will give the room a warm but crisp feeling

3 years agoGood Morning, I ended up painting my table and in a Toasted Oat. Here are pictures of chairs and table. Just finished table. My question now is what color fabric should I put on chairs and should I cover just the bottom cushion or whole chair to give a more elegant look. Also, I'm thinking of maybe getting a 46 inch glass top instead of putting the 60 inch back on it. It takes up the whole room almost. Also, attaching a picture that I'm going to put on my smaller wall. Any suggestions! On colors on wall colors and fabric will be greatly appreciated. From last messages I was really inspired to make this change so far. Thank you again!
