    So this is a breakfast/dinette area and NOT your dining room correct?

    I'm not recommending this set but just to see the spacial appearance.

    I would consider selecting a round or octagonal rug for the area to anchor the furnishings.

    Do you need privacy? Because you have the option to not do window treatments.

    Your selections for this area are affected by the style in the rest of the home so what is that exactly?

    I'd move up the timeline on selecting a chandelier as the quality of light of this one only bouncing off the ceiling tends to 'flatten' the appearance of the room.

    Any recommendation on chandeliers ?

    Regarding curtains, I wouldn't do the low-hung (maybe that's cafe style?) rods as you currently have them. If you don't want to leave them bare, I think some more elegant options could be:

    Hang the rods above the windows and close to the ceiling. Then floor length drapes between each window and on the ends.

    I agree with chicagoans, whatever draperies you choose should visually be a long, uninterrupted line from ceiling to floor. You might want to consider drapes and sheers.

    I am thinking to change the chandelier, should be black or golden? And rods?

    I’m sure either would be fine, and your rods can either disappear into your trim (white) or match the metal of your chandelier.

    For an eat-in nook I like to dress things down a little. How about something woven, like rattan? This is from Pottery Barn.

    Or something playful.

    What is the size of this area?

    It doesn't look like you have the space for a large enough round table to seat 6+ people.

    I have a 60" round table with comfortable good sized chairs and can only fit 6 chairs. I can squeeze in 7 for a party. It also has to be a pedestal style table to maximize the number of chairs

    You have a door that swings into the space, so you have to leave enough space to be able to use it during warm weather parties., when the table is also being used.

    Our previous home had an eating area bump-out. Here is how we coordinated the upholstery and windows.

    It's a pretty space and I like your mockup with the long drapes. The chandelier in your mockup is nice too, although it's a bit similar to your previous light. (Nothing wrong with that.) I like large drum shades and have this light over my DR table; IMO it's really pretty when lit. But you might love something else! There are a ton of options, so keep playing with your mockups.


    What are the measurements of the space - width and depth? (purple lines below) How about the width with the door open? (red line).

    Are you comfortable having the table extend past the space? (e.g. beyond the green dotted line.)

    Finally, with the sliders nearby, do you use the door in the nook?

    To @chispa's point above, the door swing will impinge on your space for a table, and a 6-top table might not fit and/or might need to be offset to one side to give you walking space.
