Add chair & table here?

9 years ago

Playing around today......

Ficus tree is usually not in this spot- got moved for Christmas tree. This is all open concept- large "entryway " & have felt that this area was kinda bare. Added the round table & chair. Just not sure if it goes together, scale or if it even works!!

Art looks high- damn light switches- should I lower?

Thanks!

    I think you need a lot of empty space around a pool table. If someone were sitting in that chair watching a game, would they be getting a pool cue in the face? If yes, then you probably need to lose it. But if not, then it's a nice place to sit and be part of the game, and gives the players a spot to leave their drinks.

    My opinion only. Right now it looks "lined up". Lose the chair, shift the table towards the pool table slightly and provide many coasters or use a table cover.

    Agree with krmarchese. Also agree that the chair isn't practical in that location, if you use the pool table any at all. Pretty space!

    Really pretty space, very welcoming. Love the table especially! Others are probably right about the chair crowding the pool table. I think you're right, the art looks too high. Could you try a smaller piece that would fit betweenish the switches and window frame? Lose the chair and move the table over under the art a bit?

    Like this arrangement in the twilight!

    Much better - live with it for awhile and you will see if you like it!

    Yes that's better. I still think I would try a small piece for the wall above the table, and offset it to the right a bit. Sort of make it a part of the table vignette, instead of lined up perfectly above the table.

    What about this? My mom has 2 blue upholstered stools she isn't using & I could place them around the table?

    I think I see what you're trying to do -- establish a "foyer table" at the entry -- but I don't think it's working. While you have space to walk around it, it just looks like an extraneous piece that was plopped there for lack of having another place for it. I'd much prefer the walkway to be kept completely open, instead of having a table in the path when you're only a few steps inside the door.

    I also don't think it's working on the wall near the pool table either. Instead of using it there, I'd add a second framed print beneath the one you've currently got hanging on that wall. Actually, a pair of Audobon prints would be really nice there, if you like those - hung one above the other.

    I can certainly see why you want to use the pretty round table, but I think you should keep auditioning it around your house until you settle upon the perfect spot.

    I think if were to do a chair there, it needs to be larger in scale. But I do agree that you need room all the way around the pool table when playing. Not really feeling the round table in that entry way either. I actually think that ficus might look nice on the wall space where you were trying to place the table and chair.

    It doesn't feel right in either spot. I drive my DH crazy moving stuff around but until I actually see it & dismiss it- I will wonder......

    I had the table in my bedroom- maybe this is the best spot? Thought about getting a table skirt for it too?

    Ida Clair-- yes, I do love Audubon prints!! See above my bed:) I like the idea of stacking on that wall & will play around with that.

    Oh, I really like the table next to your bed. Could you possibly start looking around for another wood table that's similar in size/heft for the other side of the bed? I know, I know ... it seems like one thing always calls for another! And I know what you mean about moving stuff around and driving the DH crazy, but sometimes that's the only way we know for sure if our ideas are good ones!

    The ceiling in your bedroom is gorgeous, by the way! Pretty framed piece above your bed too.

    Beautiful family room with the pool table. I wonder if a sofa table behind your couch would achieve what you want. You could add some nice art, pots, sculptures on top.

    I like how a sofa table dresses up the back of a sofa.

  • 9 years ago

    Yes, give a moose a muffin!! Ha I can't go as big on that side of the bed because I have a settee in front of big window. Does the brass one look horrible?

    Karensb, I do have a sofa table behind the long section of the sectional. Would it be too much to have 2? Idk.....

  • 9 years ago

    I like your set up as it is currently with the sofa table and end table with lamps.

  • 9 years ago

    Oh, no - the brass bedside table doesn't look terrible at all. Actually, the more I look at it, the more I like the contrast. It doesn't feel quite as weighty as the wood table, of course, but I think that's ok.

  • 9 years ago

    Thank you all!! Now, that you've practically seen my whole house for one damn table!! Lol

    I will play around with the picture that's too high, try the ficus tree there- stack pictures, etc


  • 9 years ago

    I like the idea of stacked pictures. I like the table bedside. Think the brass one looks good and the settee probably helps to balance that side of the room out.

    May I ask who makes your sectional? Info. on fabric? Do you like it? At some point we're going to get one and I've been looking around.
