Home Decorating Furniture Design Dilemma

Table is too large for the space.

last year

We downsized, the table (1 of 2) is too wide to allow access through the door to the patio. I am thinking of replacing it with this black trunk style table, and possibly keeping the 2nd table shown in the photo with the front door in the background. Thanks for your thoughts!

for me... end tables are for setting a drink on when seated on the adjacent furniture.

Decor and plants thoughtfully edited are an accent to a room. Too many things take away from a rooms overall feel. End tables do not need to match.

Are you able to move the sofa down a bit to make room?

At least put them in great pots!

The room is not big enough to push the sofa down without crowding the walkway to the kitchen.
