Hard to recommend a style, as your chandelier is modern contemporary, while dining set is not. Your kitchen looks modern…can you advise which direction you had in mind?
Given the openess of the room, you should consider the hall and kitchen wall colors. You can’t go wrong with white, which will also pull in the white in table. Add color with drapery, art, pottery.

Comments (16)rebeccamomof123 yes, you are right. The table is slightly off centered from the window. Certain angles is more noticeable than others. I can’t center it, because I have the door down to the basement there. As it is, I only left enough room to open and close that door. Yes, what kind of barstools was going to be my next question. I was thinking wood to tie to the table. Do you think backless or ones with backs would look best? I love fabric, but I am trying to limit the amount due to kids (4 & 6). Here are two I’ve thought about. I also love this one, but I’m not sure it works in my space....See MoreFeedback on dining room design
Comments (8)Great question! The dining area is attached to the kitchen (light great cabinets with whitish silestone countertops) and is also bordered by a sliding glass door and another exterior door. The idea was a custom table (~70") with a pedestal bottom that allowed for better movement of chairs. We had received feedback that a table with four corner legs might restrict movement move. I've included an example of a four legged table we considered....See MoreFloor plan feedback requested — dining room? the
Comments (13)No, you are right we do not need that big walk in closet! Reach in closets would probably be fine. I wonder if we could put a stackable washer dryer in the closet space in the master so that we wouldn’t need to have the washer dryer right off the dining room. The house will be in western North Carolina. It snows in the winter but we would eat outdoors 8 months out of the year. Woodsy backyard with a babbling stream. Views of the mountains in the distance but the house is a flat lot in the valley. We could also put a patio off the back deck if we needed more room but we plan for outdoor dining on the deck. Our youngest will be 3 by the time the house is ready so the open loft doesn’t worry me much. Our plan for the upstairs bedrooms is a bunk bed and twin in one room. Queen guest bed in the other. Our kids can share when we have company and spread out when it’s just us. It’s not a ton of space but if guests are cramped after 3 nights, it is time for them to move on anyway!! There is TONS to do outdoors in the area and no one needs to spend that much time inside anyway....See MoreFeedback on rugs and dining chairs
Comments (1)They are lovely rugs. On my monitor, the background leans more to taupe than cream, so I would choose the chair with the tufted back....See MoreRelated Professionals

You could select a distressed painted sideboard for the room.

The light is such a contrast to the country dining set. Consider adding white chair slipcovers to go in a more elegant direction.

Or paint the chairs cream to match the table and get high end blue velvet seat cushions. I like Beverly and Maureen's sideboard suggestions. If you're on a budget, sideboards can be fairly easy to find. Then get someone who knows what they're doing to paint it blue.

I liked @Maureen's suggestion for window treatment and @BeverlyFLADeziner's for painting the chairs. I don't find the style of the chairs really suits the table but if painted the same white as the base on the table they certainly would be a better fit. For a nice look, you can also place slipcovers on the 2 end chars. The buffet I show is something you can find in thrift store that you can refurbish and paint. I'm also showing a pendant that reflects the style in the room.
