    I'd do a smaller round one. you don't need more angles in that spot.

    ssee? much better. the plants and art and a throw are nice too




    heres a woven/rattan option that works w/the style. gave you some art over the sofa too


    It's out of stock, buy you could find something similar

    this would work for your space. notice the accessories as well as the rattan. this is square, but I like the round in your spot.


    if you like a white marble and metal:


    another similar set up. notice the wood framed simple art, the wood round table, plants, throw


    or you could do a few X stools in any color


    smaller square




    suggestion for wall. make sure art is hung 4-6" above the top. don't go too high.

    you could also do a shelf like shown here






    55" for your coffee table?? in that small space? no.

    remove your current table and tape off 55"


    what do you think of all the photoshops w/the round tables?

    Thank you. i was thinking my table was too small and needed a huge square in a darker wood. like 48” or 55”

    reread the one above. i added more pics to it

    I would not use dark wood in your space. It will be too much contrast with your light furnishings and there appears to be no other dark wood anywhere. I'm not sure why you think the current size is too small...it looks to be perfect, though the color is not great. Beth gave you some wonderful options. I like the look of round but think it's impractical for your furniture configuration. People sitting in the middle of the couches will be the only people with easy access to it. I like the large wicker rectangle she posted. It's darker like you want but not as dark as dark wood would be.

    Function. First. Does the size meet the needs of it's use? It's ok to have walking room.

    I would say a 36" diameter round - maybe even 42" ....OR a versatile double in a round.

    You don't need dark wood. You need a jooooosh to the space.

    Beth gave you this......and it shows what you are missing. Texture, depth, art on the wall, etc



    vs......



    Go take some more pictures from other angles, and do NOT screen shot from your phone!.

    File them in your photos and upload as a jpeg. that can be enlarged on a click.

    Add more pics below....more angles. Ooomph it up.....and where is the lighting: )

    Thx everyone. i think i hated the cor from the moment i saw it and maybe that is what is throwing me off. we just moved in so no accessiries yet and i mixed too many styles in the space and while i would love to get rid of the table AND the serena and lily bar stools my husband loves them and wont budge on the stools.


    i thought maybe that dead space on caroet could use a couple of poufs or and ottoman?


    i love the rattan square table but dodnt want to overdo the rattan. will send more pics.

    You need to slooooooow down. You've got mish mash, and at this point you stop.

    Post an inspo of exactly what you're going for, but I;d have to address the window.....please tell me those are not vertical blinds?

  • 2 years ago

    Yes. they are vertical blinds. they were here when we mived it i will replace but this is a home out of state and its hard to do it all at once

  • 2 years ago

    I dont have an inspo photo. I said earlier it was mish mash which is why i am trying to figure out how to make it better. that is a slding door and i plan on using something like a bamboo

    You figure out what you love first. ......a little homework, put a FEELING to the search, in words.

    That's the one thing, nobody else can do for you. Which is tell you what you want.: )

    You type,,,,,"Organic, modern coastal rooms"?

    You get......

    The coffee table is fine for now. The size is fine. If you can't return it, at least use it until you find something else you really really like ... no need to rush and keep buying things you hate a week later.

    I think you are right chispa. any soggestions for how to accessorize my table to add dimension and groundedness?

  • 2 years ago

    Roochyroo, maybe find a nice tray to place some items on. A nice orchid arrangement always looks nice. Some coffee table books.

    Accessorizing a coffee table is very subjective and everyone will have an opinion! I take time to find things I really like and not just buy things to fill up space.

    Some photos from Houzz ... see, there are no rules, however much some people might try to preach their own rules! lol
