Hello Designers!!!!!

Hi,

I need some help with end tables for my living room and an entryway table. I have an open floor plan with the entryway, formal dining room & living room as 1 open room. (I plan to make the "formal dining" more of a sitting area with a buffet later on)

My style is more traditional/transitional, however I do have a rustic style cabinet that we love & are using as a media cabinet. I am liking the distressed look lately!

My goal is to achieve a comfortable yet elegant & timeless look. we have 2 small kids as well.

help please- I seem to have reached a design slump;(

FYI- the sofa & chair are an oatmeal color. I also have some wrought iron looking light fixtures throughout.

thanks!!

    Glass & metal or glass & wood. With kids, I'm sure you will want the glass framed for safety. pics. http://www.grattan.co.uk/products/furniture/chelsea-metal-amp-glass-end-table//A-31R803

    Sorry my English is better than that! It doesn't look like you gave much room for end tables. A true end table should be at the height of arm of chair and/or sofa. That is usually about 24" high. I see you have club chair designs that might need a bit higher. You need transportation into and out of this seating arrangement too hence C table suggestion.

    My arms at the highest point are 24". I was thinking a round table between the chair & sofa. It is a pretty decent opening. I was also thinking a smaller rectangle on the opposite side of sofa which you can't see in photos. I am not sure what C tables are. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out. I was really looking to put a lamp on the tables.

    Hello! You have great pieces to work with and the architectural features of your home are lovely. The current side table and coffee table are much too small in proportion to the sofa and love seat, so this is also a great time to scale up! Without having the dimensions of your sofa and love seat, I won't be able to give exact sizes width/length however, the height of the coffee table should be close to seat height of the sofas and the side table needs to be close to the height of the arm. From a style standpoint, adding in pieces that have the traditional elements with more of a casual comfort would fit nicely with your existing pieces and family lifestyle. Here are some examples of styling that would work lovely.

    Thank you! That side table in the picture wasn't supposed to be there! It's a giveaway;). We were just using it temporarily! I see you have all lighter colors in the pictures. I was interested in some wood tables similar to the last picture but they were a darker color, similar to the ottoman pictured. What do you think of this?

    Here is a "C" table. Sorry, I should have described them better. One more thing, keep any tables you get in keeping with your "country vibe. Ornate, mahogany is too traditional so I would caution against that.

    These come in a wide variety of sizes and styles and are priced from $50-$$$ depending on style, materials, etc. I can look for some that would work in your setting. I just posted these so you could see what they were.

    I can't seem to post the table I like for you. But if you go to Pier 1 website and search for Mother of Pearl C table it should come up.
