Do you think anyone is ever going to sit in them and when?

The style doesn't match the style of your dining furniture.

Why would any of your guests or family wish to sit in a lounge chair in the dining room?

You could place a console table with art above on that wall instead.

I'm confused by your selection of furnishings. The lounge chairs are contemporary, but the dining room set is Colonial. What's happening here?

Your artwork should be much larger and more colorful

I'd select drapery panels that match the gold in the area rug. if the rug stays.

I think that pained walls look more interesting

Warm gray/greige

or Taupe

@Goldi Passaglia I agree that those particular chairs don't belong there and the art and mirror art too small. I think you could remove a chair from each side of your table and flank the hutch with them to ground them. The table would be a more inviting place with fewer chairs. You could even put the mirror over one chair and the painting over the other to create a grouping. Then move the plants to flank them.

On the other side of the room, get a large console and large piece of art like Beverly suggested. You could move another pair of dining room table chairs to flank it. Now your table can support projects and games between meals. Flank the art with wall sconces or sculptural floor lamps. And get a larger area rug.

Some thoughts.

The dining set is actually called Mission or Arts and Crafts style, made popular by Gustav Stickley, not Colonial. It would benefit from some warm color instead of the all-gray look.

Maybe some muted greens/reds/yellows?

Agrre with BevFLA suggestions. The table and chairs are definitely Stickly,but the buffet/hutch is not. I mix furniture styles but not as many as going on here especially with the round chairs, and the window treatment header. The furniture and chandelier are asking for warmer wall colors, not grey or taupe. Give yourself some time and thought to bring it together,

The buffet/hutch is most definitely Stickley, since it looks very much like the ones in the photos I posted directly from the Stickley website. So there is a cohesion in the wood furniture, which is the only warmth in the room. It's the disconnect between the Arts and Crafts style and the modern looking chairs that is the problem, along with the color palette. To add to the issue, the overhead LED lighting is stark and glaring, contributing to the cold feeling in the room.

I agree with other posters. The style of the dining set and the hutch don't really match the chairs nor the modern interior. Beverly's suggestion of a larger and more colorful piece of artwork helps but perhaps rethinking the furniture is what you need to do.

The chairs‘ style and their odd location are not adding anything to your room. Consider a useful sideboard more in line with your set. If interested:

and accessotize

Also, the sides of the cabinet would feel more balanced with some prints.

IMO all things in a space need to be there for areason what possible reason is there for 2 random chairs in a DR. The style of the furniture is a bit of a puzzle too . Post pics of the LR and also the dimensions of this DR since it look huge. I rarely like buffet/ hutch pieces since most people now do not have need to display china and crystal. So we need info please and until you provide that all we do is guess . Post all the info her ein comments , the pics of the LR too DO NOT start another post .

Hi Goldi….I would remove the upholstered chairs and try turning the dining room table and rug the other direction..than we can see where the hutch should be placed…remove the art and mirror we can help place them in a better spot to highlight them better…your art is hung too high…if you are open to other options like adding new pieces of furniture let us know if it is in your budget? if not we will work with what you have.

Just thinking the same thing, HIWE!

@Patricia Colwell Consulting

eventuallly I will canhe the living room, it does meed to be updated. I also attacched the picture with the dimensions of rbe dinning room

As others have suggested, turn the table and rug the other way. It's better use of the space and gives diners view outside or of the living room area as shown in these two photos:

Then slide the hutch so that it's a transition piece between living room area and dining. Use it as a bar so it serves both zones.
Relocate upholstered chairs. Lower the art on that wall. Take another photo of the new configuration. Also stand at the sliding doors so we can see the whole space.

As you can see, we have to keep asking for more photos, dimensions, etc. For anyone following this thread, here's how to post a Design Dilemma:
You need to show the whole space—all four sides of an entire space—even if it’s about one specific Dilemma. Commenters need to see doorways, windows, closets, finishes throughtout the space to make informed suggestions.

State right at the beginning what the room will be used for and who will use it. State the non-negotiables at the beginning, what has to be kept. Give some idea of the budget. And provide approximate measurements

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6417709/unofficial-design-dilemma-boot-camp

Keep in mind that you're inviting some design pros and people with a design eye into your home via photos. If they walked into your actual space, they would take in all of it: all four sides, doorways, floors, windows, ceiling, built-in fixtures, lighting, trim--the "givens"--then the features that can be changed--furnishings, paint, art, rugs, decor items, etc. It's all one first impression. Same thing with photos. That's why it's important to provide well lit photos of the entire space, taken from all sides of a room regardless of the size of your problem.

Now that y'all see the unusual shape of this dining room, do you still think changing the direction of the table is best?

Yes

@kl23 we also have to consider this dimning room is by the entress of the house like you see in this picture. tuning the table will not work. it womt leave enough space on the sides to walk around it

The first suggestions to put a sideboard with large artwork above could be just enough in terms of furniture arrangement.

What’s in this cabinet? Can you move it into the dining room in place of the chairs?

I think the dining room table direction is good as is.

@Goldi Passaglia I love your dining room table chairs.

If the table cant turn 90 degrees it might work to have it run parallel to the angled wall.

what is this measurement? what size rug do you have? is chandelier centered to the side wall?

@Home Interiors with Ease the rug is 11x8 feet and the chamdelier is center to the in the room to the side walls

@Patricia Colwell Consulting here are the dimentions. The finning room in at the entrance of the house.

Remove the hutch turn the table..because the room gets wider or slants wider on one side…what is the measurement from side to side centered with chandelier see image🧐

The angled wall throws off the room. It is accentuated by the rectangular rug. If you put a piece of furniture & art on the angled wall (where the beige chairs are), they will be on an angle and further highlight the angle. Consider squaring off the angled wall with drywall/trim and use the walled-in space to create a narrow 17” wide broom closet or nook accessed from the hallway.

@Goldi Passaglia , when you put the two chairs there and the plant, it seems now to me that you were trying to figure out what to put in that space created by the angled wall. I wonder if you were trying to balance the hardness of the dining table with some softness. You were taking the form approach.

But I wonder if you should instead ask yourself about the function of that space. It's an entry near a dining room, living room, and whatever is in that dark room by the entry door.

The first thing I have to ask is whether or not that room is even supposed to be the dining room. How close is it to the kitchen? The dining room is supposed to be close to the kitchen. It's not typical for a dining room to be "boom!" right in front of you when you walk in the house. So I'm curious to know where the kitchen is and about the spaces next to it. And I'm curious about the function of the dark room behind the door near the front entry.

Also, do you do a lot of entertaining? How formal do you need your home to be? Do you run a home business? Do you entertain for business?

@k123

@k123 Thank you for the comments. Here are the answers to your questions.

once you enter the house you see the dinning room, to the right there are 2 doors the first one goes to the office, the second to the master bedroom, to the left there is a hallway, to the right of the halway is the kitchen and to the left is a sitting area. Also to the left of the kitchen is the family room. And yes with the 2 chairs I was trying to balance the hardness of the dinning table and also trying to do something else than a rectangular piece of furniture that will accentuate the angled wall. I like to entertain, I do not run a business at home and I rather a cozy and comfortable home than a formal one. This pictured shows what was in dinning room before and the kitchen that shares that angled wall.

Everything is skewed to the right, i suggested earlier to have the table follow the angled wall. but how about moving the tall cabinet to that wall and leaving the other wall empty of furniture.

Not sure why you won’t try turning the table? and asked for measurment across the room from side to side but at the center point under chandelier

I like the buffet the before picture but without any chair there at all the plant is fine and then move the picture up 10 in from the buffet

@Goldi Passaglia I could help but notice a stunning view out your window! Thanks for addressing my questions. This sitting room off the kitchen... What do you think about making it your dining room and using your current dining room as your living room? Is that crazy?

My suspicion is the this area was designed to be the living area & the area next to the kitchen was to be the dining room.. the size of this area & the door configuration just does not seem to be intended for a dining space. Since the entry door opens into this area, it would work better as a living area. Have you considered flipping the two areas? As a living area furniture arrangement would be more compatible & the view would be better enjoyed.

Just lurking here but if you had to keep this as a dining room, which I thought the idea of switching made some sense as entering your home, in any case, could a very large round rug under your dining table soften that angled wall a bit? And I would remove the large cabinet on right. Perhaps nothing but table, then if a must, a tall plant on the angled wall towards the front.

Edit: large single wall art in place of cabinet could be nice!

I like what Alice said but the wall needs some art cuz she said nothing else but a plant

Maybe art on both sides of table both walls? Or a mirror on one wall, art on the other side. No furniture but table and chairs
