Although the blue chandeliers that have been recommended are beautiful for this room, they feel a bit beachy to me and I’m not in a coastal area, so I thinking to bring in other blue elements

Outside of the two colors.. the only upgrade I would make to help it all stand and blend.. brass hardware and fixtures.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to getting the warmth of some brass in here, starting with the fixtures which we need asap.

I wouldn't rush to wallpaper. Try finding similar curtains. I'm not crazy about the chandelier.

er612Thank you for the visuals. Pretty light fixture and drapes. The reason why I have been avoiding drapes is the adjacent space. Hope pic below doesn't scare you off!!! :-O Furniture items in room may not stay, planning to replace coffee table with more casual square or round. Fireplace needs repairs. Prefer to have more neutral (less blue) palette in here will small nods to blue. I love panels but think panels should be restricted to one of the rooms and leaning toward that room being the adjacent LR, not sure why maybe since it is so tight in DR. Long story short I guess that's why I was looking toward and accent wall / seat covers to bring the blue across.

those vintage chests would look awesome lacquered. you could bring in you kitchen blue color, or do something different.

I did my own w/a glossy white, leaving the refinished walnut on the drawer.

Got it. What about new window shades? I like the bar stools that Beth H. posted.

Thanks Beth you are so helpful. Forgot to hit the "thank" button earlier but responded to your comment.

Thanks. I was concerned about it getting too moody/ heavy with black. Also, concerned chandelier id too heavy, but liked the idea of lighting up whole table with a linear. Table is 72" x 45". I also love the pendant you posted, especially the more modern feel of it, but is large enough? I can return other chandelier, but need to get my lighting figured out asap.

If I paint the chairs white, oh my, there's so many whites to chose from, I prefer to use a cleaner white than white of the cabs which is white dove. Do you think an off white like bm white wisp, sw snowbound, or cooler like BM decorators white would be best?

white wisp

look at BM Oxford White. it's perfect. Or even Simply white.

I will look at those whites thanks

er612 - Thanks. I think roman blinds might be the solution. The consensus amongst the Houzz contributors seems to be blue window treatments near the table. I love the bar stools Beth H. posted, unfortunately, pretty bar stools with backs do not have a future in my kitchen since it is too tight. Probably shouldn't really have any island seating, but was strongly preferred by most family members.

try look at the stools w/the oak wood, and texture. maybe some nail head finishes, velvet.

I love these

Thanks, Beth H. ! # 4 is one pretty stool and quite unique! I will look to replace the island stools. At this point leaning toward one like the first one posted, but I actually like all three, sometimes I like too much and get stuck trying to pick.

I would lean toward slimmer bar stools, especially with your dining set.

Your kitchen is beautiful!

Love the blue! And think roman shades with blue would look nice on the windows.

I think I'm the lone vote here but I prefer the black chairs. While the white is pretty I think it's leaning pretty feminine and fru-fru. Black looks more casual to me. I guess it all depends on what look you are going for

Melissa R - Wow, thanks so much for that visual!!! Though not sure which way to go. Thinking to keep table wood stain. Maybe the scrolly carving could be touch with light gold accent to brighten if I went black and bright or light seat fabric. If went white, thinking to tone down with dark fabric.

Tone the white down with dark fabric just like you show.

Hello all - so, I've had my eye on caned chairs lately. Happy to see them back in style. Mom had them when we were kids. This one in particular.

This idea but chair above

I’m soooo into those chairs!!

everdebz - Thats a good option - thanks for your help, I am so grateful for the support of you and other Houzzers. I seem to like this and that and the next but the things I like don't necessarily look good together. Agree, I prematurely hit the "buy" button 😜. Luckily, it has not been hung and will probably return.

Maybe someone already said this. i read most, but not all reply's.

Paint the fridge side panels and cabinet above the same color blue. I think that would balance it out some.

Honestly, I think you got too much clinical white going on and that's what is over powering.

I don't think you need much more that's bold. The Black island looks out of place with the blue and white, to me.

Thanks Tim H. I agree it feels unbalanced, hadn't thought to paint the fridge cabinet blue but could help. Thanks for the suggestion, its an option.

everdebz - Thanks for the lightingt suggestions, like #2 for the warmth and #3 for shape, so great that you saw the connection not only to the shape of chairs and overall style, but also to the ceiling lines. I never would have thought of that. I'm so lucky and grateful to have the support of yourself and others on Houzz. 😊

I agree with the unbalance and adding accessories or curtains that add blue on the white side. But I would add more white on the blue side. like possibly adding white sheer fabric to the inside of the glass cabinet — it will help to soften and diffuse. Also I would not have the mirror backsplash there, it just reflects more blue, again trying to introduce more white on that side.

the blue does look very nice though

Miss TKO 2015. Thanks. I was actually thinking the same, bringing white to the blue side. I know what you’re saying about the mirror too. Ive been following the advice of some posts who suggested to work on dining side and come back to this side. But I will be getting back to it hopefully soon . Appreciate your thoughts.

I love the color Blue. Also your kitchenware's are pretty to me. Your kitchen is really looking gorgeous.

It might be good when all is added in that you have.

Seeing clear handles I'd try clear repeated with glass in the chandelier // for the traditional aspect of dining set I'd bring that in -- transitional.

Imo, this type has bit of everything ...might go ok with jute, cause more informal than the pretty one you're getting...

Like that color blue. Have you considered painting all the base cabinets that color and most if not all the upper cabinets white? You might leave the currently blue butler's pantry all blue, at least until you get the rest of the base cabinets painted and then decide if you want to paint the upper cabinets of that butler's panty, too.

everdebz - Thanks, this probably throws a monkey wrench into your selections, but I am considering replacing my current chairs with the ones below. I think they are fresh, light and pretty. Do you think they would work in my space if move the jute rug to a different room and replace with maybe a solid blue or pale neutral rug? Btw, if I stay with current chairs, I think casual fixture with the wood trim is interesting, Thanks again

No photos show...

if another item you have is a question, let us know... this is typical on houzz: what style to go toward, what's in budget, what other item would "bring the room together," etc.. etc.. :)

Thanks everdebz - I am open to changing table and/or chairs in this space. Also open new rug since I can move existing one to another area. Should I create a new post? The above chair is the one I've been eyeing, not sure if it can work.

I love the Blue Note paint color with that countertop on the Island! If it were me, I’d paint the hutch Blue Note on the bottom, and paint the top white to match the rest of the kitchen. I think it would look crisp and sophisticated. Dark blue blinds and or framed picture/s over in the dining area, and blue vase with flowers over by the kitchen sink would balance things... and the rest of the details are icing on the cake. Enjoy your project... you have a beautiful kitchen!

Ann - Thanks for your neew perspective and support. Interesting, though I started looking for light/ mid blue fabrics in the dining area, the darker blue fabrics are my favorites so far.

Tell more - what vision or inspiration photos guided the area?

Beautiful dining set from here - is there any Irish design in it? not offending just curious. If it has meaning.... oh is there a separate DR?

Before you respond, I'll say that I like the chair. Clean straight lines like the handles [I guess we can't ignore them]...

Does chair have a solid stain [ya know like espresso has]? wondering how it goes with floor.

Might you want natural texture on window, shades instead, etc.....

Just noticed a mirrored surface, and a brass item... elegance...

Let's find a rug !? window treatment nice and wide to 'make a statement' ?

Is this cheerful color palette a yes? is the style ok? it might blend with blue...
