    Drapes and a statement chandelier would put the finishing touches on this beautiful space!

    the table and chairs looked undersized for the room. A big rug might help.

    All it needs are guests around the table enjoying a great meal! nice space.

    Can anyone give some suggestions what style of rug will tie everything together? Thanks!

    Depends- how minimal or full do you want it? Pairing the art work with the console table would be a nice way to ground the piece.
    I'm a fan of a large statement chandelier, floor to ceiling drapes, and a large rug under the table. (Big enough so that the chairs are on it while pulled out.) A graphic modern rug would be fun!

    I like the following rug too. Which colour scheme should I go with?

    Thanks

    I like the Crate and Barrel option that you posted. You'll want to order a size that is 4 feet wider and longer than your table. Perhaps a piece of metal artwork over the console as well to bring some interest to that wall.

    I too like the Crate ans Barrel Rug. It will add much needed pattern and color to your room. More artwork, esp over the console, will also add life to your room.

    I love everything from Flor, they sell carpet tiles that you can customize to your hearts content.

    Table runner & chairs. Larger pendent.

    The rug from Crate and Barrel is perfect. I love your minimal style and it can be tipped so easily by adding and adding.

    I got the crate and barrel rug when they have 15% off this week. But also got some other rug swatch to test out. Is it the #5 the best?

    Number 5 looks like it brings in everything - warmth and interest. Pretty room.

    should I add this table runner? Since the rug has yellow on it but nothing else has yellow in this room.
  • 9 years ago

    I wouldn't. It's too close in pattern to the rug. I'd keep it clean and simple on the table. Maybe just the branch candle holder or the jar in the center with two modern candlesticks on either side. These are from CB2 and are marble. Very simple.

    No table runner. This is the big challenge w/ a minimal design. We're so used to everything being filled up. I agree with kateinparadise. Only one of your items on the table. Of course, I like the terrarium.....!

    #5. No table runner.

    Love the room! #5. No table runner. Horse art over buffet table to ground it. Something metal or wood, large and architectural, on the full wall.

    Your chandelier is not hing properly. The lighted glass globes are hung too high, thus the disappear unless viewing from the side. I would move the console to under the art. I would keep rug simple but lots of texture. Texture is what will warm up space but keep modern look. Try moving console under art. Art should only be about 4-6" above console. I think I would only use two pieces on top of console. Keep things minimal.

    I'm loving the sparse look of this room. Yes, you could include all sorts of things but would it really add to the look?

  • 9 years ago

    Mirror over the console? Maybe something in contrast to the rest of the furniture.

  • 9 years ago
    Got this one. Gonna put on top the console.

    Before you put a mirror over the console, try it under the painting. Then the plant would go in the far right corner. It would make transportation through the dining room into the kitchen easier, and make the art "stand out" and give it grounding. It will also make the space feel larger.

    I meant move the console to under the painting. Those two items will each improve the other. Then you will have a true "focal" wall.

  • 9 years ago
    If I move the console under the table. The other wall will be too empty?
    Also the painting actually longer than the console. Is it gonna look weird?

    Color! It is bland and cold. Get huge pops of color in there,,,,It will be stunning

  • 9 years ago

    Weird yes.

    What is the length of the console and the length of the painting? Also, you can still put a starburst mirror on the other wall if you wish. Just keeping that pathway more clear is a good shift to make. Then chairs can push back easier as well. Kind of a personal choice. But right now the painting is just "floating", unsupported. That doesn't feel good to my eye.

    My original idea is to put the console underneath the painting. But when it delivered I realize the painting is 72" the console is 67"

    I think that is close enough and because the background of the painting is close to your wall color, that would work for me. Is it hard to move the console and try it and post photos? I could be wrong, (a rare occurrence) lol, so a visual would help.
