Center artwork on the wall but leave the table where it is because you have to for access.

I would like to see abit more of the spaces it seems odd to me that the table needs to go there.

Sure. More photos attached. Please excuse the mess on the counter.

That is a situation screaming for a banquette!

Hi Mallorie, will you do a quick floorplan of the dining area (get the measurements of the dining area) and show approximately the adjoining kitchen and living room? Also, when you take pictures, please turn on all the lights in the room. Do you have any artwork or a rug or something in the kitchen or living room that you can use for a color palette? Usually that is a good starting point for colors, and since the three rooms connect, you want them to work together. Your dining area needs a rug and art on the walls, but let’s see what you already have first.

@shadywillowfarm sorry about lighting. Will work on getting that floor plan. I have an idea of how to create that. No rug or artwork in the kitchen. The artwork in the living room is white plaster wall art. Rug in living room is green but will be beige soon.

@Hope *now googling what a banquette is lol

If it helps to know, curtains, granite countertop and handles in the kitchen are black. Backsplash is white

Just the dining area space.

You could do something simple like an upholstered bench with a back like this...

Or you could do something more built in that has storage under lift up seats like this (but you would need just a straight one not L shaped)...

Oooo I see. Would I still need wall art and rug with this you think?

Art for sure! I don't know that you'd necessarily need a rug, but that's more personal preference. I've never had a rug under a dining table. A banquette doesn't require as much room as individual chairs do, so the table will move over closer to wall. You'd lose the walkway by the wall and redirect traffic through middle of room- more in line with slider/patio door. You could also remove the ceiling fan and replace with a light that you can swag over above the table.

Considering moving the ceiling fan to the living room. Lighting in here is terrible.

As for the banquette, so it would take up most of the wall?

Good morning friends! Found this on Facebook marketplace this morning. Should I consider it?

Would you consider a round or oval table, instead of square?

Maybe something like this?

Or maybe in a wood finish that reflects the surroundings?

I certainly would

Its hard to tell how long that wall is that the bench/banquette would be on- if my calculations are correct, you have about 7 feet to play with (wall is 10ish ft and I subtracted 3 feet for walking through space opposite the fireplace corner)...? So depends on how long that bench is on marketplace whether it'd work or not, and also depends on how long your table is. I agree with previous poster about an oval table being more ideal for that space- no sharp corners to walk into! In general I would situate a bench/banquette toward the slider door end of that long wall rather than trying to center it on that wall. That should allow more room for walking into that space from LR. Just my opinions. Hope that is helpful!

It is. Thank you!

Wait - where does the banquette go? I don’t think putting it on that wall makes sense. That wall looks more like a hallway, not a dining room wall, if that makes sense.

Would go on the farthest left part of the wall, to not block the aisle way. And understood about that wall looking like a hallway. It’s a weird and oddly placed space here.

Would this work here? I would center the mirrors but the table would still be off center. I don’t think there’s anyway around the table not being centered. And I can’t remove the wall as there are basement stairs behind it

I think a round pedestal table in a light wood, and very large artwork would look great in this room.

Looking into table options….
So 3 piece art or one huge one?

For the art, just search for something you love that fills the space nicely. The number of pieces doesn’t matter.
