Kitchen table advice

last modified: 8 years ago
Im adding some finishing touches to my kitchen but im finding it hard to chose a kitchen table. The space where the table will be going is on the left of the photo and would probably be best with something no more than 90cm diameter. Im quite happy to make do with two chairs.The kitchen unit porcelain which is an off white and the tiles and worktops are grey. I have a roman blind which has a hint of grape colour. The flooring is karndean distressed oak which has hints of grey and oak. I would appreciate any advice on style and best material to suit kitchen
cause im hopeless !

Comments (17)I'd keep the sofa where Jonathan has got it. Have the tv wall mounted by the sockets on a swing arm bracket with a low,slim sideboard underneath (for storage). Some of the mid century modern ones are low so may be worth a look. Opposite the sofa I'd have a console with upholstered stools/cubes underneath and a chair next to it angled towards the sofa. Hang the largest mirror you can over the console to make the room feel wider. I'd also go for a built in banquette seat with storage underneath for toys etc. I don't think you can fit a 5ft table, certainly not with a high chair unless you have one that clips on so would go for a 4ft one (we often have 6 for breakfast around ours, cosy but fine!). A pedestal table would be good hence the tulip one as Jen also pictured! I'd go for 3 dining chairs. Keep one by the console with a throw, cushion etc and push the table up to include it at the end for guests when needed. Use a rug to zone the living space so the front legs of the sofa and chair sit on it. You should also have room for a small side table next to the sofa (I make the room a bit longer than Jonathan unless I've misunderstood the dimensions?) Try cutting out paper templates of everything to size and walking round the room before you buy to get a feel of how the space will work...See MoreKitchen table - with or without table cloth or table runner?

Comments (3)I would have the table against the wall (opposite window) with either a bench of built in seating, this way you could have space for a chair / sofa on the opposite aide. If you used a bench, you could then put the table centrally for occasions (xmas etc). I think a central feature light would still work with wall lights to table area....See MoreKitchen extension with whole new kitchen - advice on layout?!
Comments (7)@kazzh Adding a wall as suggested by HU won't allow for the intention of an open plan with the living room as and adding a wall by the current opening will remove a lot of afternoon light from the living room. Adding the laundry to the pantry is certainly possible, it's an idea that has been considered, but we didn't know a) how possible it was to create a new waste pipe and where to run to, possibly the bathroom next door. b) how to position the pantry area to consider a reduced length of waste pipe to avoid a mass of disruption of other units ie cutting holes in them. Moving the patio door isn't impossible, as we can just brick up the current and add a window, then add a patio door to the extension. Thank you so much so far!...See More

8 years agoYou have a wonderful blank canvas, what are your light fittings and style of house inside/ out?
There are some great sale prices, consider outdoor furniture too, and eBay / Shpock and gumtree etc may get you a gorgeous bargain, that you can ‘tweak’
I don’t know which area you are, so here’s just a few for fun!
