Are the chairs too big?

9 years ago

We recently purchased two oversized chairs and now that we have them home, I wonder if they are too large for the small space. I know it's hard to tell from the pictures. My husband and mom say they are fine, I'm afraid they're too big. Our ceilings are fairly low and this room is only 13x24 so I don't have much room to spread out as the couch you see is backing up to my kitchen area. We are a large family, there are 8, so we need a lot of seating for conversations. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your other posting has good advise from a pro. Here's another idea. Return the oversized chairs and get two more that are appropriate for the space. Place the new chairs where the sofa is now. Place the sofa along the wall where the two chairs are now...with the sofa table behind the sofa. Here's an example:

If you recently purchased the sofa I would return the chairs and buy a matching sofa to face the other. Add a narrow rectangular coffee table between them if there's room. Beautiful room by the way. Love the beamed ceiling.

After replacing the chairs, go shopping for lamps more in scale to the furniture. Love the beams.
