Dining Space Needs Help!
Comments (12)That's really pretty. It has a ski lodge look about it. I wonder if you were to place your dining table a little towards the staircase (not right up against it, though, as the current setup) instead of centered in the room, if you'd have enough room for a comfortable upholstered chair - something along the lines of a wingback, perhaps? - on either side of the fireplace. You could think of this room as more "keeping room" -- a place to dine and cozy up by the fire. You could use the dining table for games as well as meals, perhaps read in the chairs by the fireplace. A large piece of art over the fireplace would be nice. You don't need a lot of stuff in here, as there's a good deal of architectural interest already....See MoreNeed help with furniture layout for Kitchen/Dining/Living space

Good suggestion.. however, i’m more or less looking for furniture layout solution as I’m not able to swing architectural changes right now. Floating sofa looks fantastic!

Comments (7)If this was my room, I would have the dining table completely away from the window. If the view is that nice in the evening, I would want to be able to walk up to the window and look out. I would forget about the acrylic table legs. Even if you had the dining table beside the window, the table top will block the view, not the legs. But for me, I’d put a low profile bench by the window so you and your guests had a place to sit and enjoy the view. Add a good size sideboard where the armoire is and if you still have room, think about an overhang on your kitchen countertop on the dining room side. Then you can have bar stools for your guests to sit at while you prepare dinner....See Morehowistyle
