Simone Gonzales

6 years ago

Hey ! I am a little baffled by all the choice of dining tables available ! We will be painting the walls white and we have an oak floor . The pop of colour in the room will be a green sofa , along with plants and artwork . However not sure what colour dining table and chairs to go for ? Are there any rules around this due to us having white walls ? We were thinking black table and oak/beech chairs or white table with fabric or oak/beech chairs or we could go oak/beech table and black chairs ! We are trying to get chic vintage scandi look x thanks in advance all the choice is blowing our minds . We would then get an overhandinh light or floor lamp in the same colour as the chairs . Thanks in advance

hi Simone,

sounds lovely ,

my recommendation would be to somehow incorporate all materials, colours, finishes you wish to include, where within scheme you incorporate each one matters less. E.g. Table can be black, chairs white or visa versa,

Gather together on one page all items you'd like to include to achieve the desired look and see if your happy. If it looks good on paper, you are on right track and you should spot if something looks wrong.

i think below photos is look you are going for so I think any combination will work lovely with green sofa,

best luck

Great advice above. I'd go for an oak table on an oak floor and keep the woods the same. If you find that green chairs with your sofa are too much, then white, grey or black.

The Green sofa will clearly stand out against the back drop of the oak table and white chairs, you will see that there's green in the pic. Just not as overpowering as green chairs!

Kitchen Diner area - sofa or table or both??

Present it as a dining room when you sell. Ideally, the space would look best with an oblong dining table and no sofa. But removing the sofa and just moving the table into the room is fine. A plain white/linen tablecloth would help hide the chairs; flowers always go down well. Personally I think the space is definitely too cramped for a sofa and dining area, and since you have a lounge, you want to present the house to look as spacious as possible. Consider a narrow console table against the wall, under the pictures, once you rearrange things.

I understand. I recently started kitchen renovation and I needed tables to order somewhere. I am convinced that the main thing is the material of the table. It depends on where the table will be used. My friend who has his own cafe advised this website https://jsdeco.co.uk/fenix-laminates-bespoke-kitchen-furniture/. There, such tables are quite practical for use in kitchens, and this is wonderful.

I would say you’re nearly there. I think it’s quite usual to have a crisis of confidence at this stage! I think the table needs changing - the wood doesn’t work with the floor and there’s no other wood in the room. It also looks a bit lost there. Maybe a rug to anchor it might help although personally I’m not a fan of dining tables on rugs but something is needed. For me, the door being the same colour as the wall makes it more difficult as it’s such a long bare space without anything really to divide it up. So I think a sideboard / storage (maybe tall storage) along the wall to the right of the door would be good, with a mirror / artwork above if a sideboard. Some artwork behind sofa plus either tall floor lamp or floor standing plants would help. The kitchen area looks good so I don’t think anything major is needed there. You could consider some window treatment, even if just decorative to add some warmth to the space. We didn’t have any curtains or blinds on the windows / doors along the back of our bungalow for 2 years after renovating as we weren’t overlooked but when we finally chose some, it instantly made the space feel more cosy & homely, so maybe something to consider.

Okay, I'm sorry for reviving this but can you guys please choose another piece for me. I feel guilty for asking again, but I need help! So now I have the blue curtains, the yellow dining chairs, my light grey sofa will be arriving soon facing right, in front of the right blue curtains. I am now wanting to buy this: https://www.swooneditions.com/plymouthrec As my coffee table/footstool in front of the sofa. I am liking, in order: - Kingfisher Teal - Ink Dark Blue - Midnight Blue I really do like the Teal, but I am wondering if there is now too much colour in the room. Blue, Teal AND Yellow, that just looks like paint explosion no? Do you think? The two blues - on one hand I am saying it will look good as it will match curtains, on the other hand, I think it might look samey samey, but I just don't know the rules. Or do you think other colours look good? I was thinking maybe Yellow again, but then that's too much yellow, and yellow doesn't look the best as an ottoman I think? Please help :P I can't put another poll unfortunately Thanks,

Hi Simone, I love your colour scheme of white/green/black/wood. You just about nailed the Scandinavian look there :-)

As much as I love wood in interiors, using too much of it will take your interior from Scandinavian style to cottage style. You already have an oak flooring, so leave it to that. Have a white table and, to add contrast, black chairs and a black pendant. Your green sofa and green plants, as well as the oak flooring and artwork, will add softness to the look.

Hi, that's a so called Acapulco chair. For example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acapulco-Chair-Orange-and-Black/dp/B00ABJ3HXC

Hi Simone, I think you will find that the Acapulco chair is not very practical as a dining chair, it's more like a lounge chair. And because it's so wide it takes a lot of space so you won't be able to place too many chairs around the table. If you like the wire style, then there are lots of other options available, depending on your budget. For example, this Hay's Hee dining chair
