Open Kitchen/Dining Area: style help, wood tones, dining table
As pictured, we have a somewhat open floor plan, and our dinning area is between the living room and kitchen. A fireplace separates the living room and dining area. I have been considering a new dining table and chairs, and would love some input. I'm thinking a round table, as I just purchased the 8' round rug in the picture. I'm open to suggestions and input for other improvements as well! I'm not really sure what style type or color to go for and incorporate. My kitchen cabinets are espresso stained and the current table and chairs are black and grey. Thanks in advance!
I kind of like this table from Wayfair, but I'm not sure if it would be too much dark wood.

Comments (3)Again, there are so many blues and grays out there that will work with all of your colors. I suggest that you go to your favorite paint website (I love Behr and I go there all the time to choose colors for my house) and play with paint colors that you can visually paint in a room (you can choose the room). Once you find something you like, even if it's a couple of colors, I suggest buying paint samples. Once you get the samples, paint a decent sized section on a wall or two and see how it looks during the day and night. Give yourself a couple of days to decide if that is the shade you want. It's what I did when I moved in our house 3 years ago. It's how I found the shade of blue in my dining room and the shade of gray in my living room, which is in the below photo:This is Classic Silver from Behr and it is a true gray. It looks good with everything in my living room, including the wall hanging that is right of my Mom's painting. The wall hanging has a deep green border....See MoreNeed help with rug layout in an open concept dining/keeping room area!
Comments (18)THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A BIG AREA RUG IN THE CENTER BECAUSE IT WILL UNBALANCE THE DINING CHAIRS EVERY TIME YOU USE. YOU CAN ADD A RUG UNDER THE CHAIRS IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE A FOOT REST WOULD BE NICE IN FRONT OF IT. SOME INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOS MIGHT HELP...See MoreNeed help with chairs and mixing styles and wood tones in dining room
Comments (12)My second comment is everything is priced high right now. I would wait. There is a lot of furniture for sale in every state as the largest move is taking place in the USA Homes are selling with furniture, people are selling what they do not want to move. Ebay Craig's list Next door Neighbor Chairrish 1st dibs and local shops have a large assortment. Look around you might find something or work with what you have. Prices are starting to settle back down. I think your room is lovely A dining room is where the family will never notice what the colors are, only the day. The fun, the silliness and Mom's favorite dish being served. Enjoy it all...See Moredecoenthusiaste

last yearI know this post is over a year old... Wanted to compliment you on your choice of Table! I have a 48" Round Pedastal Table that has a huge leaf! I live in a small aprtment in the city and love the fact that my table is compact for everyday but can accomodate guests. I am on the hunt for an 8' ROUND rug fo rmy table and came across your post! GREAT CHOICE in RUG! You were asking for advice on any other improvements as well... I absolutley love that sideboard area...Was thinking instead of the cute ledges with pictures...I can't help but feel that corner is screaming for some reflection and light... How about a tall arched mirror..or even a rectangular window type mirror... (Link: Arched Mirror, Another Choice...)a little less wide than the buffet and tall in scale...
and a cute accent/buffet lamp would be awesome! It could offer some beautiful reflection and some accent lighting... Just a thought. I have found some really cool mirrors at Hobby Lobby and Homegoods! What a beautiful space! I love the fireplace...I also love the clock over the fireplace... I'm a huge clock person...AND Its in a very practical place! Thanks for being a Houzzer and offerirng up a beautiful space for us to admire! Cheers!
