Living and dining help
Hi all, any suggestions on both a coffee table and dining chairs? We were thinking black Bentwood Thonets and a marble coffee table or a glass coffee table. Any help would be super

Comments (6)In in an open plan space (as opposed to a separate formal lounge) I would skip on the fire place. Perhaps put in place what is required to install one down the track but I feel life will be simpler and the space more useable for a young and growing family without it. Similarly, easy access for kids to come and go from back yard is handy. A tv on the wall is a good idea for safety (avoid toppling it) and for protecting the screen from sticky hands. We had a near miss with the fairly sharp corner of our tv unit and our son's eye when he was a toddler!...See MoreEntry / Living / Kitchen / Dining Help
Comments (10)I never like walking in a front door and looking at everyone at the dining table. You could consider having the support post for the beam, up at the dining end of the room and enclose it with some pretty glass. That would, in effect, give you an un-obtrusive sort of foyer, that still allowed light to penetrate, while closing off the dining room from view and leading you into the open lounge/kitchen. Google Sarah Richardson split house photos. You will have to use your imagination, but I think you'll get the idea. Pretend that the double doors in the photo are your front main entrance. Good luck....See MoreNeed help with layout and design of living room / dining room
Comments (7)To be blunt -- the room isn't really big enough ! So you have to sort out priorities , and space . You have a dining table , and a computer desk . Can you get rid of the computer desk , by having your computer tower mounted behind the couch or similar , and a wireless keyboard and mouse that you can use on the dining table ? Mount the monitor on a wall , or if you don't need in depth graphics , I understand you can use your TV ( I've heard something about the 'refresh rate' is less on a TV ? ) . Maybe even have a monitor but also the option of using your TV ? Could you use a 'breakfast bar' , probably where the computer desk is now , I know its not sociable all staring at a wall , but it would/could serve as a brakfast bar and computer workstation . Could you get rid of the dining table and chairs , and have a large coffee table , or 2 smaller ones , and eat 'casually' ( my polite way of saying eat sitting on the couch ) ? Even mounting the TV on the wall will let you get rid of the cabinet , but I gather you have gaming consoles in there ? And the present arrangement with the pot plants uses some space -- maybe some shelves with them on will still retain the plants but free up floor space ? Just some thoughts off the top of my head ....See MoreOpen living/kitchen/dining extension help
Comments (3)the door between the kitchen and pantry looks uncomfortable can you post a bigger plan showing all the garage (where is the driveway, entry paths and backyard?) and identify what's original and what's proposed and/or post a plan of the original house and a google earth views of the roof...See More

You have a lovely living and dining room and I love the dining table!
I agree with vee_2596 that the coffee table should be in a similar wood to the dining table and I like the style of the first image that LouieT posted. If you could find a marble top coffee table with light wooden legs that would work perfectly.
As your dining table is in a light wood perhaps White Thonet chairs could work, this will complement the light wood tone and keep the room fresh.
Below are some other coffee table and dining chair options. Good Luck with finishing your living and dining room, I'm sure it is going to look beautiful.

I must say though, I do like how these up holstered chairs create an arch form under the table.
