Need Dining Chairs and Counter stools

9 years ago

I have a new townhouse bing built. It has high ceilings and an open floor plan. My husband and I cannot seem to agree on chairs nor stools. The only thing we agree on is that the stools need to be backless. I want something cool hip and stylish. This area is right next to the kitchen so I also need counter stools that don't have to match the chairs but I feel they need to compliment the overall look. Below are pictures of the table however the legs are a bit more weathered and darker brass color. Espresso kitchen cabinets with soft white quartz counter top and the Kichler pewter glass pendants (3 of these) The townhouse has tons of light. I would like to have an industrial chic feel not sure how to exactly pair that with the transitional kitchen. BTW I am building backwards next will be the living room

That's a desk. Even four folks will be uncomfortable at this.. Get a different table before you even worry about chairs. I'd also change the support legs on your island. Too traditional for you and your style. Box them in , and mimic the door trim. add toe kick. They are too gooey.

So, you only need table seating for 4? The ends will be useless with that base. It might work for a desk, but I can't see you being happy with it as a dining table.

4 is ok 6 is optimal. We can change the table I was sold on the "sawhorse" look and the the brass base. I even thought abut using a couch on one side of the table. Open to any dining table and chair suggestions

Thanks Jan you the island is another example of a Husband who is very traditional and me a downtown loft dweller who would have gone with painted cabinets in a navy or grey and waterfall Calcutta island. (Dreams) I will mention your idea on wrapping the legs see if I can get some traction.

Do you know the size and shape table for your space? Are you restricted to rectangular or would round work?

Yes, nice as writing desk for one, but sawhorse not great for dining.
