dining table placement - kitchen or dining room?
Comments (13)I guessed at size of kitchen eating area so verify measurements. A 72x36 table will work but tight to get to slider door. A 60” table in formal dining room will work but I would create a more flexible room with this space. I have some ideas on that. I will post that shortly. The key thing about round tables is get trim but sturdy pedestal that is clear enough for chairs to push in and get chairs that aren’t too wide at front edge. That front chair edge is what limits number of chairs....See MoreOpen Kitchen/Dining Area: style help, wood tones, dining table
Comments (8)I 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!...See MoreDining Table Centered vs. Dining Banquette Against Wall?
Comments (2)The room is about 7 1/2 x 12... so it's pretty narrow. I was thinking if I put the table and a banquette booth against the far left wall, it would open up the space more. I've seen some pics of a similar layout and I didn't see any with rugs under the table. 1. Is the banquette idea good/bad?, 2. Keep rug and just put under table if a banquette or kill rug all together? Thanks all...See MoreWhat to do with the space marked dining area, don’t need a dining tabl
Comments (4)Also, if you wanted a completely separate space for an excercise room or another bedroom, it would be easy to close it in and put the door into the hallway by the bath....See MoreJilly
