Home Decorating Furniture Design Dilemma

I need help choosing a dining room set that goes with my kitchen

I'd love to get some input. Is it ok to use this dining room set with my kitchen ?

It's an open kitchen with an island (same counter and cabinets) , and the dining room is adjacent to the kitchen.

I guess my first question is why a formal traditinoal DR set with such a contemporary kitchen. What is the rest of the decor in the house ? These are pics from your idea books and either of these DR sets would IMO work better but hard when we have no idea about the other spaces

Agree with Patricia, you have a streamlined modern kitchen, and a heavy traditional dining set will not work. I like the idea of a metal set like the one she suggested in the first pic.

hermustangs, if you'll read the "new to GW" thread below on this page (or if it's left this page by the time you read this, search for it) you'll find explicit instructions on how to post photos; very easy to do. I think you'll get many more responses if you include photos. I'm not good enough with colors personally to try to answer your questions without seeing the rooms. Good luck!

And....it's finished!!! Thank you, BeverlyFLAdeziner, for the great idea. I hope you see this because I LOVE the way it turned out. It really does add a fresh new look to the room and it's something I never would have thought of doing. Not bad for 2 days worth of painting and about $100 bucks in supplies. Now on to new drapes and artwork! I'll post some progress pics below. Love it!

it is a great room kitchen dining combo so the dining is part of the kitchen so it will get used basically daily. The table in option 2 and 3 are the same table and the chairs are just different. The table in option 2/3 is about 2 inches bigger than option. We are kinda going going for modern farmhouse look. Option #1 initially caught our eye but option #2/3 made us rethink and confused us and made unsure which option would fit with our decor/finishes we have so far. They didn't have the tables physically in the store but they had other pieces in the collections that had the same finishes to give us an idea Table top of option 2 and option 3: table top option and base wood colors for option #1:

Please clarify this statement... "I like more war, colors like the beige or light tan to coordinate with each other." Also it is hard to recommend colors without some idea of the space and how the rooms relate to each other. Do you have a floor plan, sketch or pictures that you can post to help us give you ideas? Whole house open concept or 3 separate rooms with doors or clearly defined separations for different colors of paint. Also what color & type of flooring, furniture, cabinets, rugs, art etc... Without any of the above I can say I like the following colors & you might start your paint journey with:

Thanks so much Patricia and K R.

I'll post pictures of the space as soon as I can.

I find it hard to find a contemporary set that is very good quality and can be extended up to 16 ppl like that. We are a family of 10 and like having guests as well :) . A table up to 14 would be fine too...

I really like the second one in Patricia's pictures. I don't know if that would be big enough, but it's modern and still looks comfy to me. I do like the first one you shared, but I don't care for the colors of the set with your kitchen.

If you're having trouble finding a modern table that will fit as many people as you need, you could do something like we did here for some of our clients, assuming you have the space.
