Center to the dining table - and the room- don’t worry that the wall is shorter because of the doorway- that whole wall is the guide - looks best centers to table

Thank you for your thoughts. I certainly appreciate your time.

The first layout looks better.

Thank you!

I like the direction of the table better in the second picture.

I’ll try turning the table that way with the buffet centered on the back wall. Thanks!

I turned the table as suggested.

@Melissa Elliott what software did you use?

Hi. I would put the china cupboard where you have placed the buffet and put the buffet where the china cupboard was. My ex-bf's mother has her furniture arranged like that with the buffet on the side wall and it looks just fine. You might want to take those lamps down tho as they seem rather big for the size of the buffet. When serving they could topple over at that size. You could replace them with smaller lamps.

Since you’re a whiz at doing this on a computer, give Cara’s layout a try. I think it might make the shorter wall too crowded, but you’re not actually moving these big pieces around.

I still vote for the first photo, with the table going in that direction.

The software is called Live Home 3D.

China cabinet is on the back wall in these photos. Thank you all for your suggestions!

Do you have a photo of the art work that will be hung over the buffet? Or is that a mirror over the buffet in your mock-up?

I like photo 1 in your latest post with the china cabinet on the back wall and the table position. But a really striking large piece of art over the buffet on the back wall could sway my vote (but need to see the art).

This is for a new build, and the furniture was selected from the software we’re currently using. It looks close to ours though. The photo shows a mirror, but I definitely plan to add a nice piece of art. Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it!
