Difficult to comment when we can't see an image which is needed really when you're talking about mixing styles. It can/can't work depending on the situation and products involved. How about recovering your existing chairs?

Hello, this is a classic example of a 'side return extension' where you square off the building to the width of the full house. If you filter using this phrase you will see examples. You have choices here. You could put the dining room and kitchen together, and wall off the lounge to make it a separate room. If you want to extend the depth and go into the garden also fine but you are left with having to walk through the dining room to get to the kitchen. I would definitely extend the dining room into the kitchen. You will find that you will spend most of your time in this space. Do you intend to move out or live in whilst the work is ongoing?

Hi, thank you for that. So I think if you wanted to stay in your scheme I would go a dark charcoal grey which would compliment and sit nicely with everything else as well as being a good colour for dining chairs. If you wanted a little colour then I would pick a slightly lighter blue from the picture above the sofa. Again it's not too light to use on dining chairs with children but adds a little pop of colour :) let us know how you get on.

Your kitchen is so similar to mine and the same age! I have a painted pine table from The Cotswold Co and a pine sideboard as well as an oak worktop. My chairs are oak and a gift, so a right mish mash! None of mine matches as such, but I Like an eclectic look. If you want to get away from more wood, then I think something painted would look nice, say in a soft grey or beige. If you feel up to it you could paint the table you have? Are you wanting a traditional look or something more contemporary? Here’s mine, plus some ideas
