kitchen table dilemma

28 days ago

Hi
I would like to replace our Bartop kitchen dinning set with something more elegant. The kitchen is a bit traditional and at this point no budget for upgrades. The cabinetry is oak color, the countertops are granite and we have white oak hardwood floors. I would like to add a set that would lighten up the space, modernize it and visually balance the space considering the cabinetry and granite. I also would like suggestions on a rug both for the dinning area and runner for kitchen. The dinning area is not large. The current table is 45 inches in diameter. I would like a 4-6 seater. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have attached photos of the kitchen and dinning area.
Thank you.

    the blinds look custom and would be wise to leave them. they impart a more clean look and the space is not large so I'd pick a tulip table. they are classic . they can be incorporated into many various styles . the seating choice could be personal preference.

    It's a DINING area, unless it's very noisy. If you're not a native English speaker, then I apologize.

    The "vote" option is not applicable--what is to vote on? If you had 3 different table/chair options, that would make sense. But you've just presented photos of the actual space, which would be more helpful if you just added the photos instead of making anyone click on them to see just what you're asking.

    But I digress. What do you mean by "modern"? A more sleek table and chairs? MCM? Transitional? Your kitchen is quite traditional in style. Here are some options:

    Pottery Barn:



    Home Depot:

    A 45 fits for 4 chairs. A rectangular would fit 6. Look on FB Marketplace for something at a reasonable price. Look online for estate sale listing websites in your local.

    I apologize to all on the vote button. I am not technically savy and not sure why it came out this way. I just meant to upload the 4 photos. Apologies for inconvenience. Thanks

    With respect to style , the rest of the house is fairly transitional. Thanks to all for comments and ideas thus far. f

    Your set can go on Marketplace also.

    Here’s a couple of ideas for the space. Regardless of what you go with I would recommend a larger light fixture and have it hang lower than what you have now.

    I really like the table and chairs from Pottery Barn that Diana posted, so I thought it would be fun to see in your space. A bench seating can give you a bit more space.

    Wow. Very interesting. Thank you.

    The PB set in your space looks great--I like the casual vibe, and the color of the wood. The blue fabric on the chair backs adds a nice contrast. And the bench seating is charming.

    Don't worry about the poll issue..it's easy for someone not familiar with the site to select that by mistake - it happens fairly often. And you will find some people here get their panties in a knot when someone uses the word "modern" when they really mean more current. 'Modern is a design style, as in mid-century modern, but the general population uses 'modern' to mean more current rather than actual MCM style.

    I really like the mock-up Emily did for you.

    Precise language is necessary for effective communication. No one's panties are in a knot.

    What is your budget for table and chairs? Do you need the durability of all wood chairs or fabric that can be cleaned?

  • 27 days ago

    Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. All greatly appreciated. I do not need to have all wood, but easily cleaned fabric would be great as the table does it used frequently. We often have friends over and everyone ends up in the kitchen. For a budget, I was hoping between 1,200 to $2,000

    Please no long bench along the wall where no one can get out without a huge mess. Do your guests all love sitting on stools ? I think a nice round table could be good and some nice colorful chairs , no rug .

    Hi Patricia. Thank you for your comment. Is there a reason you do not like - because of difficulty to keep clean in a kitchen?
