Help :) We are designing a kitchen. Below an indicative plan. We would like to create a super-modern bar table, preferably not in a usual rectangular shape (as it currently stands in the plans). It should be both - modern and practical (with some storage space underneath, open sides for the plants, and similar). We would go for corian - white for a worktop and lime ice with lightning below it for the bar. Any suggestions for the shape of the bar? It is not easy to find non-rectangular bars tables... Any other remarks (material, shape, colours, etc) more than welcome! Thaaaanks!

As promised, here is the response received just now from the supplier. I await your comments with interest- Hi, Good day to you. Our suppliers have come back to us with the following comments"Firstly sorry for the delay in replying to your email, we have recently returned from our 2 week Summer Shutdown…. With reference to your email regarding the WN206 Nest of Tables, unfortunately this will happen because the furniture is manufactured from Oak wood and when the timber oxidises with the natural light the furniture will mellow and become darker, so if this area has not been exposed it will remain the original colour from purchase. We do not stain our furniture only apply a 5% durable dull laquer sheen. We could offer to sand back the table top and repolish, but you would need to collect the item from the customer and deliver to our factory in Newton le Willows, however this would be chargeable to yourselves. Please advise on how you would like to proceed? Regards,

Hi. I think your best bet is to lay them out on the floor using masking tape. You would normally allow around 45 cm leg room around a table which should allow you to put drinks down. That should also be enough room for the kids kneeling on the floor?! Also consider how the table shapes sit against the fire. The only thing I would say I should I might consider a round mirror over the fire to break up the lines :( Lovely room

Hi rinq, Thank you so much for your time and suggestions. We do actually need a 6-8 seater and that's one of the reasons we are getting a new table and were thinking to get something that would add some warmth and cosyness to the living room. Do you think perhaps a rug under the Mango table would solve the orange shade that might clash with the flooring? Also I do like the second table. However, our preference is more towards warmer more earthy Colors. Are there any other Color chairs that you would suggest? Thanks again Meli Thanks
