Is this dining table set too much for a smallish room?
Comments (4)The pic with the colours chairs works so well as they are the only coloured things in that set - if you want them to be as stunning - I think you need to emulate the set - ie white walls and white floor ! If you go with the darker wood floor that you are considering - personally - I think it may loose a little of its Wow ! ( will look fantastic with white plates !! And the three colours used as serving or side dishes /napkins etc )...See MoreKitchen - too much orange???
Comments (14)Hello randjb, One thing that might be an idea is not to have the orange splashback wrapping around the hob unit and instead one sleek sheet... Painting the door and skirtings, architrave etc to blend with the walls is a good idea and also the rad... The eye then takes in the kitchen as a whole... Don't shy away from your selection... Celebrate it.. but stick to this one accent colour only.. Perhaps introduce some vintage glass centrepiece in orange for the dining table, something semi translucent... Could you make more of the pendant by adding more to this? Carry a bit more orange into the living area... The above centre piece and these lamp bases are Murano glass but something like these could be gr8! : ))...See MoreI am trying to make an Orange sofa work in my living room.
Comments (20)Hi Dawn, Copper accents are a lovely idea. Have you seen the Orient Lamp from Lightyears? It's quite a statement piece, but it would tie the room together. Orient Copper Pendant Lamp Another more subtle option might be the Cloche table lamp, which comes in a polished brass shade. Wrong London Cloche Lamp This orange Lune sofa is a punchy, warm colour. Fritz Hansen have got several photos of it with different styled interiors. In this one, they used several accent colours on the wall, and a fantastic metallic line across. Lune Sofa - 3 seater Suspence Pendant Lamp For a more poppy, fresh look, Stouby have styled their Ayo sofa with a lime throw. Bringing in bright colours is easier with an already bright sofa - they stand out in contrast to the orange sofa, but the grey walls balance them. Ayo Sofa Although this room features a lot of grey, it is warmed up by the pairing of the Lune sofa and the artwork above it. The coppery shades work really well with grey. Lune Sofa - 3 seater The artwork reminds me of the Eskimo Rusty Radiator - see if you can spot the radiator in this photo! The lovely copper patina looks more like a piece of art.

Here's a couple of long pile, textured examples: Ines Rug Moss Rug Do post some photos of the sofa, and your room when you're ready. Looking forward to seeing it!

Comments (15)Oh man, I decided to brave Ikea on a Saturday and sad to say that Martin was quite uncomfortable! I mean, the seat itself was fine and nothing a nice seat cushion couldn't fix, but the back rest felt like its designed so that you'll have to sit perfectly upright to be remotely comfortable in it. I suppose its good for posture if nothing else, but not something one wants for a dining chair! The Svenbertil was a lot more comfy for about the same size, though a bit more expensive. I was thinking of perhaps a couple of smaller side tables instead of an actual coffee table. Not sure yet. I think I'll have to wait until the sofa gets delivered and I have it in the space before I can really decide. Generally not a fan of glass table surfaces as I can get a bit obsessed over fingerprints and glass just attracts them! I really liked this coffee table when I saw it in the showroom, then I saw the price tag. Yeah, visually on the plan I don't think the long table would work that well in terms of the flow of the space, and I think I'm going to stick with a round one. Surprisingly, the space seemed to be able to fit a D100+/- 5cm relatively well after I folded some towels and tape out the area. The Ikea one you pointed out seems ideal in terms of size, but being all white, seemed a tad boring... though I suppose I could have different chairs to mix it up a bit... a pair in white and a pair in oak. Hmm......See MoreSonia
