Need advice - kitchen table style, color, shape

5 years ago

My kitchen is outdated and very monochrome. I'd love to make some changes to the cabinets, layout, etc. but husband says no. I can and do want to replace my kitchen table and chairs, however. Could possibly paint that corner area a different color, too.

The table we have now is 29.5" W x 47" L x 29" H. That area is roughly 7 x 8 feet, taking into account the doorways, pantry, etc.

What style, color, shape, size table would you suggest? Also - would you paint that corner a different color?

The size of the current table looks about right. You could use a round table in the space. Before buying anything though, I would try painting the table and chairs that you have. You can add some personality by painting the set green or blue. You can paint all the surfaces, or stain the wood part dark and just paint the white parts. What colors do you have in adjacent spaces, or what colors do you like?

Agree with the above. A round table will break up all the rectilinear appearance in the room.

Your cabinets look good so I can understand why your hubby said no.

I'd look for a set in the same hue as your ceiling fan blades. You can follow calidesign's suggestion and paint your current set, however, I'd still paint it the hue of the ceiling fans.

You could create a whole new look by removing the things in the corner, replacing the fan with a pretty light, adding a rug under the table, adding curtains to the windows, and amping up the art on the walls. Your home looks clean and tidy already, so simple fixes would be quite easy. Your husband will hardly notice. 😊

Thank you all for your ideas! I have to get rid of the chairs because a couple of them have missing braces and won’t last long. I’ve had the set since 1997 - it’s past time to go. I like the ideas of long (sheer) curtains, art work, maybe rug and match table color to ceiling g fan. I wouldn’t mind replacing the ceiling fan with something that has more character, but don’t think that’s in the cards right now.

I think if you update the countertops and flooring it would help a lot. You'd probably forget about the cabinets since they seem to be in good condition.
