We want to replace the dining table. This is our kitchen / diner, should we go with a smaller table and add in a small couch?

any suggestions?

thanks!

As it is

It would be good to see the other side of the room. A round table would bring some softness to the hard angles in the room. I’m not sure if you have space for a sofa though and even if you squeezed one in along the wall facing the patio door, you wouldn’t be able to open the fridge.

Good point, thank you! we could move the fridge to the other side of the unit we have, that’s an option. I do think a circular table too.

Wow, I really like this design and the rest of the house....really has a lovely flow to it and is very bright. My only concern with opening up the original living room to the hallway would be that the existing house is poorly insulated and would leave the front room cold during the winter. I imagine the existing front room as a dynamic room in that the doors to the dining room can be closed, a stove fire turned on and it would be a quiet reading/relaxing zone in the house. Though I must admit...the above example provided is really tempting. thanks Dytecture!

You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet..

i'd do charcoal or lighter grey with charcoal in it., ideally hung to the ceiling and touching the floor. measure floor to ceiling, buy the length that covers the most space, put the rods at that height.

Hi, we're trying to figure where the furniture should go in this living room. We would like to place a three seater, two seater and the television as a starting point. There is no fireplace or other focal point in the room. You also have to walk through this room to get to the kitchen so the furniture cannot block this route. There is a deep alcove on the left of the room where we would like to put a small work station with shelves on the wall above the desktop. Would you hang the television on the long wall or put it in the corner opposite the workstation alcove? We could put a three seater under the window but where to place a two seater is a problem. We need more seating than one couch can supply. Any ideas? Thank you

I'd want to put in a really comfy corner banquette for sitting around the dining table, but appreciate that something custom like that could be quite spendy. But it could just be on one wall. Some inspo...

Hi,

Oval or round table is the way to go!

An alternative to a custom bench seating cold be a ready made upholstered dining bench. There are some good ones out there nowadays at different price points.

to would go on the wall on the left hand side paired with an oval table or a rectangular table with rounded corners to soften the room.

Hope this helps :)
