This scheme shows an 8 x 10 area rug, a 6’ wide table, and 6 23” wide chairs.

You always want a rug large enough so when chairs are pulled back all legs stay on the rug. This amount of space also allows guests to get up from the table without disturbing neighbors and for you, as host to comfortable walk around the table when guests are seated.

For a 60” dining table, a 30” chandelier is appropriate. I notice in the plans there is a vaulted ceiling, so get a fixture which reflects on the ceiling as well as lights the table. Dimmer a must!

Use the solid wall for your choice of wall decor.

Because the room is smaller, I would place the buffet in the hall area. It can work as your server because it is close enough, but also add a lovely piece to the empty wall.
