Dining room buffet or other options

5 years ago

This is my squarish dining room with round dining table. Kindly ignore the long curtains - haven't been able to hem them yet! Struggling to design much further here... I would love to have some storage like a modern buffet/ sideboard, but the location of the windows and entry points into the dining room mean that if I do just 1 buffet it would be off-center. Do I get 2 buffets - one on each side of the entryway (I think either side of the entryway with the gray gate makes most sense - it's the "longest" wall)? Also what kind of buffets? Or do I just get 1 buffet on one side, and do something else on the other side? Or do I forgo the buffets and just do some wall decor? Suggestions welcome, please!

I'd select blue cabinets for either side of the doorway adding art, buffet lamps & accessories to add some texture to this room. It could also use a coordinated rug & centerpiece.

We think you might be able to do a small buffet on either side of the door way. Perhaps with two complementary pieces of artwork over them.

I want you to have a corner hutch where the little white table and toy sink are now. It seems like in a square room with a round table, the corners are where you have the most free space.

I think a pair of contemporary sideboards with metal base like the following would be very nice in your room. I don’t think the charcoal grey would work in your room, just wanting to show style.

As you shop, like all of us, you'll find different directions to add onto what you have. So, if you like strengthening dressy light, maybe this - Champagne finish, mirrored top and edges 70L x 20D x 38"H

The center's set and chandelier is strong/ focal. I'm a liker of soft contrasts, so against the light wall, I'd consider a light finish.

oh.. I just like stained glass...

Blue is nice, and a fresh color. Could have very neutral piece above blue unit.

Could 'ignore' the walk-through and wall to kitchen, and place petite pieces left of window.
