Hi all Just thought I'd give an update. Even though hubby and I discussed with each other that we will wait til we move in to get a dining table. Hubby went back to the store where we bought the sofa set to buy something, then he went ahead and bought the matching dining set because he got a good deal for it. Oh well. Thanks again to all those who helped me with this :)

The covering of the sofa is less important than the style - go for one that is long enough to lie down on, not too puffy and not a corner suite. The key thing with your dining furniture is to have the same colour legs on your sofa - there is often choice of stain or most places can arrange this for you sometimes oiling it yourself is an option. I have found sourcing nice dining furniture can be more challenging than couches so I would do that first- remember you don't have to match the table with chairs you can mix and match which is usually more interesting. A relatively neutral couch is a good idea but think about durability - personally i am not a fan of black couches unless they are light in frame- they can really dominate your room. If you want lighter style of furniture try places that do retro - mid century as they seem to be smaller and lighter in appearance. Bring in some texture and colour with cushions a clock, a throw rug and art work - but don't rush - take your time finding the right thing. all the best

A glass dinning table with dark timber legs in a X cross look in the middle of table will be ideal . You can still see the beautiful floor tiles and the dark timber legs will look amazing over the grey tiles. Have full fabric greyish brown chairs with same leg as the table.

Hi Kez, I agree with you, finding the right table, chairs and accessories for a space is very important as it can be a costly and time consuming exercise.

We have the privilege of seeing a lot of homes of different shapes, sizes and styles and have been able to help clients restyle their homes, as well as reshuffle, restyle and reorganise their furniture to better help with the flow of the house. We also work with a large number of suppliers and can help you by taking the stress out of sourcing a suitable dining table and chairs for your dining area. I'm positive we will be able to find something very nice that will suit that space.
