I moved to a smaller house. I have to do a living dining layout. How does it look ?

    There is so much to love about this space! Your art collection is amazing!



    What are the two chairs in the lower left hand corner facing?

    Thanks, they are facing the kitchen.

    Are the sofa and chair the only seating in the living room room? The seating options seem off balance compared to the size of the table. I love both areas but the table appears to dominate the space.

    There's a bench also for seating

    Honestly this space looks amazing. It looks like you have pieces accumulated overtime, which is the best way to pull a space together, and a great eye for selecting items that work. I love the table and chandelier combo, the coffee table, and THE ART!!!

    Take a bow! It looks fantastic!

    I'd remove the console table on the far side of the table so you can move your table closer to the wall and give a little more space to your seating area. Right now, the table overwhelms the small seating space.

    Perfection. You have made a small space into a lively yet relaxing and inviting place. Your gallery wall is really well done.


    It feels slightly crowded. If you want to give the feeling of a bit more breathing room I'd get a lower plant for the coffee table, consider removing the ladder like piece that is to the left of the sofa, and having on the console only the lamp and the white bell like sculpture. I'd remove the right and middle plants on the floor by the patio door and just keep the snake tongue plant. I'd also try removing the table top decor from the dining room table. It is pretty and complements the white of the sofa, but so does the lamp shade on the console table, and I think the room will feel less crowded if the table is bare. It is a gorgeous table so it won't look empty. The easy part about taking these things away is that it will take 2 minutes and you can see how it looks.


    Also, what are the pieces on the floor near the table and bench that look like to tops of Hershey kisses?

    It looks nice just a bit crowded . I agree to make more room for the dining table and taking the console out behind the dining table and the plants in front of the window …and , empty the table a bit . So it will look as if you have more space around your furniture . You are almost there .

    Ps . Also take the pillows off the sofa ..or use just one or two . Try it .

    Yeah, I think nif my space were this small, I'd have a small round table, with a leaf for dinner parties. That would make room for at least one chair to have conversation with the couch. Do you have a TV elsewhere?

    Unfortunately I think the table is too big, but it is so beautiful that maybe you can work around it. I would suggest you remove the console table against the wall and push the table back as far as is convenient. Otherwise it is a beautiful room.

    I think you have done an amazing job! Love it!

    Well curated space, ALL of it: the art, the chandelier, the placement of decor, the plants...it all comes together to make a wonderfully inviting and interesting space. I think the dining table is inviting, I think the bench could be used for additional seating, so maybe in another room, or closet you could have some cushions to place on it, for that purpose. I wound't remove the console as suggested, but wonder about the chairs opposite the bench (they add to visual clutter a tad)...could they be placed elsewhere in your home and brought out when needed. I'd definitely leave the end chairs. And while I don't like recommending painting wood, as your table and chairs seems like very nice pieces, you could consider painting those two chairs on the console side a fun color (drawing inspiration from your art).

    May I come and visit just to soak in the art & ambiance?
