New dining table search

6 years ago

Hi, I have a high gloss cream kitchen with oak effect worktop and an island with same units but cream Quartz worktop. My kitchen has a dining area but leads directly into the living room area. I am trying to create some continuity between the 2 rooms but I would say my kitchen is more contemporary. I'm looking for a new larger dining table in cream gloss/lacquer with perhaps a walnut colour somewhere. Just plain and boring, nothing fancy. I discovered a lovely table by a Canadian designer, Huppe. It's got a range of lacquered glass top finishes and wood finishes. The problem is that I can only seem to locate it in Canada/US. Do you know where I could buy similar? I'm in the South of Scotland. Thank you.

You could try Dwell. Not sure if they have any shops in Scotland but they are online.

Habitat has walnut dining tables. Made.com has dark brown wood. Adventure in Furniture has walnut options too.

There are loads of tables available on-line. I know because I looked at a gazillion websites searching for one for us!

I think it could be hard to get the right shade of 'cream' with an on-line purchase. Might be easier to go with full timber table. Plus I think a dark wood table sounds like it would look nice and not too matchy-matchy.

To blend the style of the two rooms (classic and contemporary) - perhaps a table with mid-century, or clean scandi lines?

Do you have chairs already?

If you're wanting a traditional look then I'd go for a dark table. You could look at getting an antique table and adding modern upholstered chairs. If you don't want somethng traditonal then I wouldn't limit yourself to a wood, just spend time looking at tables until you find something you love and then plan the decor around that

Hi, I would go for ceramic as natural stones are more susceptible to scratches. Norikei www.norikei.com

If you have the bench built by a carpenter you should consider storage. You can have drawers (most expensive) openings for baskets (buy the baskets and build around it!) or top opening which would be good for things you don't need to get to very often. You could do a custom cushion to fit it or loose cushions, for the base cushion if you can't stretch to custom look at cushions for garden seating or Carolyn Donnelly in Dunnes (not sure if you have Dunnes) do rectangular flat cushions. Consider looking at a second hand website for a round table with pedestal and paint it if you don't like the finish. I find them for my clients all the time!! The one in the pic is IKEA I think and won't be very durable but a good stop gap option. You could also look at benches in IKEA and put together your own bench. It is worth the effort as you are sort of adding a sofa to the area and I am sure it will be one of your favourite bits of the house. Good luck with it!!

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll take a look. LM, yes you’re also right, maybe just a cheap option is the best way to go until the kids are old enough to be careful and then later we can get matching chairs too. We love the layout of the house, it works very well for us. We bought the house because of its location and the kitchen/dining/living space. Here are a few more pics... The main negative point for us is the lack of utility room (at the moment, we have space to extend and hope the start the project next year), the washing machine and dishwasher are very noisy when trying to watch TV in the evening so I’m my opinion moving the washing machine out and getting a quieter dishwasher are essential. We also have a downstairs playroom which really helps to keep the main living area a little tidier as the kids have their own space to mess up.

Thank you! I have chairs but they are falling apart and really I would rather buy new ones. I realise the cream might not match my kitchen and it all could look a bit contrived. I have Ercol gold dawn furniture and walnut pieces (the woods blend quite well) in the living room hence my idea regarding the walnut table. Trouble is I don't have the budget to replace everything hence need to mix Old and new! I haven't heard of adventure in furniture, will take a look. Thanks for both comments, I will try and load some photos but my phone is out of memory
