Narrow, oddly shaped dining room needs help!

6 years ago

I have a oddly shaped, narrowish dining space that I need to redecorate from scratch in transitional style. A floor diagram and pictures are attached. With the doors and windows, as well as a small section of wall abutting into the room, I am unable to determine what to do. Currently have divided up into 3 areas with the formal dining room furniture at one end of the room, our kitchen table and chairs in the center zone and a pub set at the other end. We have a large family and need to seat 32 people for gatherings.

As you can see from the pictures, there is a 10' wide by 43" deep alcove where the china cabinet lives. I can't see not having multiple tables in the space based on the doors, but want the room to be more cohesive.

All ideas are welcome.

I think the two table idea will work great with two chandeliers, one above each. a new hutch in the niche, a lower profile , that will be less heavy feeling than the current one, with a piece of art above it.... gorgeous.

love all the light that comes in the room. a couple ideas... have you considered one really long table? or two of the same tables separated so there can be a walkway between the two. I think rectangular is the better shape for the room. heres a couple pics of the two ideas

The rest of the house is much more contemporary so the furniture is all going. The reason for mismatched is because we moved from a house where we had separate eat in kitchen and dining room. we Need all that seating for the family until I can buy something that matches throughout. I have considered 2 long tables with a walkway between that aligns with the innermost

door. new chandeliers relocated over each and keep A large cabinet in the alcove for storage. Maybe I’m just making it too complicated. Thanks for the feedback.

One table per room. Unless a corner round table used on an occasion.
