I would keep the circular one, not because your coffee table is also circular but rather because the sofa is rectilinear and the square table is a heavy-looking piece that really asserts its "square-ness". Together, they seem a bit too heavy. Note, too, that the curves in the circular table's stretcher pick up the curves in the pattern of the drapery fabric.

If you are keeping the coffee table and the floor lamp, then keep the square. The shape works better and style doesn't compete with the coffee table and the circles on the lamp. The round table is too fussy for this room.

Should I keep or replace this old kitchen?
Q
Comments (26)
Neryl, like you I'm trying to decide should I replace my kitchen (total redesign) renovate (new bench, stove etc) or larger renovation (bench, doors, stove, etc). My dilemma with the Renos are there is always a little bit more to do; the stove won't fit into the existing space or the new sink is now in metric and won't fit and of course what about the taps??? As with your kitchen I have a breakfast bar that I'm thinking of removing (swinging back 90 deg to the wall running down from the sink, but what do I do then will the floor. The whole area would have to be done. As soon as you start one job there are four or five that will follow. So do I want to spend big dollars on a new kitchen, really I think that is the question. I would say to you don't pending anything at all until you have really thought through exactly what you want and what you can spend, don't through money away on a patch up that you will find in the long term unsatisfactory. About the design though, if you are renovating your house, what is behind that wall the stove is on and what space is there in front of the breakfast bar, where you stood to take the photo? Perhaps you could take a wall out and like me open up your space.. If you can put in a skylight for both light and aesthetics. But the only thing I would say though about the previous comments is unless you want to spend hours cleaning don't go for shelves and open displays unless you cook outside. I have a 'Chinese' kitchen and it tends to be very greasy but friends who have regular cooking and open shelves say they have to not just wipe the shelves over but clean all the display item really very often. I'm sorry all for having so much to say, I've never contributed before to something like this but I do really enjoy reading all the posts. Cheryl

Help! What should I put on this entry way wall?
Q
Comments (16)
Definitely requires wallpaper or paint. I would probably go a textured wallpaper like a bronze /gold weave wall paper. It will give the area deapth and frame the space to make a statement. You have the furniture and space for it. Large art or a mirror. I would possibly keep it rectangular or squarish. A rug would soften and fill the space but would have to be selected carefully to ensure no tripping hazard. Maybe something patterned (replicated through abstract & lines like the legs of your table, with a pop of colour and upgrade the vase of flowers to reflect this colour. Basis of design is replication whether it is colour, shape or pattern.

Hi pallavi the cut out area would be great for the marble table. A large round mirror above it (i just bought one from freedom at a reasonable price). Maybe a hanging macrame pot plant in the corner (hanging from thr ceiling) where ur current plant is......this would be a vocal point as soon as people walk in. Yes a piece of artwork on the opposite wall would be nice to balance both sides. Hope this helps you alittle to get ur creative hat on and just go for it. the only problem is there is no storage as u wanted but you can always put a nice bowl on the console for u to store keys.

How should I style my entry table?
Q
Comments (49)
Personally if I were to put a runner down the area I'd keep it either plain or a very soft muted colour palate maybe with the grey and natural colours as right now it looks quite classy so you don't want to make it to bold or in your face just soft and calming for the area to enhance it all as one look. I don't really think you need one at all as I love the softness of the area as a whole as it is, sometimes less is more but it once again comes down to personal taste.

I prefer a round table but I think the style of your tables seems "off" with the seating.

The circular table works better in that room. Square table does not work in the flow of the room nor is it to scale.

decoenthusiaste - tell me more. When you say the style of the tables, are you referring to the end tables? Which style would you recommend? Do you have a couple of examples you could share?

Are those the last two tables left in the world? I would not use either and continue to find a better suit;)

patladine - Thank you for your thoughts. So do you think the square end table is too big? Do you have a circular table that you would recommend? I have been looking forever.

I would go with something less shiny or round, as you have many of those already.

I think a bit of metal bling would work well, and a coffee table that matches the curio.

I really like the simplicity of the square table. No need to continue shopping!

If those are your only two options, I would select the round as it has a more airy look and doesn't throw off the balance of the space. Antiquing the mirrored top might tie it in to the room a little better.

I like the idea of the mirrored table but it just seems too much for the room. It diminishes the sofa or maybe it is the angle.

What about a small chairside chest with drawers for an eclectic look. Try Wisteria or Ballard Designs or Howchow all online. Howchow is having a nice sale at this time too. You just haven't looked enough. Sorry but you can do better. I think you also need a simpler table lamp. That is too complicated I think. Maybe glazed taupe finish?

I checkec on Wayfair.com under small side tables and small chest for living room. Was not able to get them to pull up but here is one reference that you might think about?
