last modified: 8 months ago

Hi everyone! I could really use some advice on picking a dining table and coffee table for my space. I’ll attach a picture of the room layout with measurments.

Any recommendations for the best shape, size, or color that would work well here?

I’d especially appreciate any insights on what would make the space feel cohesive and balanced

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Do you think this table https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/mariedamm-table-white-stone-effect-white-40556318/ would fit the space?

should I stay with the white color? or glass?? and which color the coffee table should be?

    Hi,


    For a cohesive and balanced look, I’d suggest a rectangular dining table if you have ample space lengthwise—it’s versatile and can accommodate more seating options, especially for gatherings. If your space is more compact, an oval table can offer a similar seating capacity while softening the look.


    For the coffee table, consider a style that complements the dining table in either color or material. A square or round coffee table works well in most living areas, but if you have a sectional or longer sofa, a rectangular coffee table can create a nice flow. For colors, lighter woods can keep the space airy, while darker tones add depth and contrast, especially if the room has neutral walls.

    Agree with Beverly, that is what I was thinking too, dining area in the wrong space. The sofa looks really squashed into the corner that it is in currently. Like Beverly's layout much much better.

    Rugs, art and accessories will pull the room together.

    What color do you like??? Do you have any art or other accessories you will be using in the room? If not,find a rug you love, or piece of aer (greatbigcanvas.com is wonderful) and go from there.🙂

    IMO we need some clue as to the size of the spaces and I do agree the spaces need to be swithched maybe??? I have no idea of the size of the spaces so no way to advise about dining table for sure . I love round dining tables if the space can handle one they are awesome for both small groups or bigger but the size has to be right . For instance if your space is virtually square and 10 x10 you can do a 48" round that can seat 6 and the shape is a nice relief from all the square and rectangular shapes in spaces .We need a to scale floor plan please . Posted here in jpeg format showing every measurement clearly . Post in a comment DO NOT start another post. BTW if going round a pedesatl type base is amuch better choice

    The dining room table in the photo already seems to work pretty well. A round dining room table will work best, but the chandelier is currently over the sectional. You might look at flipping the round table to under the chandelier and then placing the sectional on the other side of the space.
