Design Dilemma Dining Rooms Kitchens

kitchen dining design

I would like to redesign a kitchen/dining area. I am considering to put a long part shelved/part closed sideboard unit behind the dining table. I would then decorate with frames of different colours and dimensions on the wall and books on the shelves. I am in doubt on whether I should paint the wall or leave it white.

Hi Sarafarris, if you are planning to use different colours, I would suggest you use a white 'background', like a canvas where you can paint!:)

Alternatively, should you wish to use a bit of colour for your walls as well, I would go for a light shade, so it feels nice, tidy and balanced. Let us know which option you will go for! :)

Hey Nisha! I love your Option 4 and what a fab design- looks amazing!!! I think Option 4 has lots of space and flow through the room without having to walk around furniture and is a great adult space with formal and informal dining with the addition of the breakfast bar. If little people do come along in the future and you need a play space when they're a little bit older, you can always whip out the breakfast bar and move the table up closer to the kitchen at that point- it's a lovely flexible design. In the meantime Option 4 feels light and open and spacious and looks fab to me. What a long way you've come since your first post! How exciting!

Before I get stuck into the design I’m working on this week - just quickly looked at this dilemma and wondered if you could open up your kitchen area into the garage - keeping a bike/garden equipment store at front - but getting more space to have a kitchen living area with walk in utility area and pantry etc ... and adding garden doors on this south facing wall for more daylight ... sorry it’s brief - but I have a lot to do today ! Do get in touch if you wanted to chat further- obvs this is what we do for a living - so although we can’t do a design for free - it’s not expensive - ask us to quote if you like !

Oval dining tables are able to seat everyone comfortably and a good choice. Not so easy to come by however! Maybe a glass top table would add a bit of sparkle/bounce light around the area? If you have kids an oval or round extending to oval best. My dining table is oval with extra leaf added to round top and I keep it as extended. Might be easier to find round to oval than just looking for fixed oval top? Choose a sofa with neutral but washable loose covers (ie machine wash) and add colourful cushions to make a statement. As your wood in new kitchen is dark and warm tones, follow the warm tones with dining table/chair/sofa legs in dark wood.
