what style of sideboards with dining table and chairs?

6 years ago

We are buying this dining table with chairs already bought (blue and cream velvet). Please can you advise me of the sideboards that would go? I don't want too traditional looks but something that will suit. The decor is grey walls, oak hardwood floor and white skirting. Open plan kitchen next door has white cabinets. Thank you very much.

The one in your picture behind the chairs in cream with wooden top? Your table and chairs have a traditional country vibe and I think it’s best to stick with that style. Love the legs on the table by the way!

Thank you! If you can see right in the back the sideboards that go with the table, I'm not sure in a small space will that look too much. The dining room is in an open plan area with different decor style in the living area (although it's not right next to each other). I can put up a pic of the room itself a bit later to show the background.

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!!

Love the chair! It’s got a lovely retro Sputnik kind of vibe to it. How about a similar side table with a 1950’s retro look. Round or egg shaped on three legs. These two are from La redoute.

The kitchen looks lovely. I like the table and it works well with the lights and I'd put the eames chairs with it or a mix of chairs (an old church chair is good for keeping kids colouring in stuff in but not sure of their age! ) What wood were you looking at? However having said that, your table is butt against the bar and the legs on this table are wider than the top so if you went for this one I think you'd need to go for a short table. As kikiamack said pedestal tables are good although hard to find a rectangular one (!) or as colourhappy said an old farmhouse one would work. Would an extending table also be an option? How many do you need to seat on a regular basis? Are the lights centred over the bench?

Wow, thank you so much for going through the effort of illustrating this for me! Really kind of you! Good point about gold chair and the different finish on the lamp- did say I was clueless didnt i🙈 Kids are 10,4 and 0 so bench could work, but tbh I dont want one, because as much as I like the way it looks, I dont think it would ne that comfortable and we will be using table a lot- meals, family games, working from home, arts and crafts, so I want everyone to be comfortable🙂 So you think the heavy table would go OK with the rest of the decor like the examples above? Swoon supposed to be super unreliable with deliveries and table not available till march so im tempted by 3 week delivery promise from. John lewis... 🙈

I'd go for anything that you like the shape of then get some paint mixed the same colour blue as is in your chairs then paint it. You can't really go for any other wood than oak, and too much oak may look funny, so I vote blue.

Quite a few places sell them already that colour, so if they go with the chairs then great:- Blue sideboard at Bedroom Furniture.co.uk

Or:- Cotswold Co,co,uk

Thank you for the suggestions! I will take a look online... at the moment, I'm really liking the scandi legs on furniture but this will clash with the traditional curved legs look? Here is a pic below of my dining area anyway, with the table above and the blue and cream chairs (table in this pic is my current smaller one). I also need a cupboard made in one corner for storage (We have nothing for holding hoover, ironing table etc) which will impact on the 'look' with sideboards.. a large blue wall clock can hold up the look with the blue chairs too?
