I hope my dining choices work!?

Kylie Carpenter

Ok. I've got a concrete table (dark wood legs), the chairs with it don't match and are from previous table. My floors are wood look tiles.

(The lounge will be replaced & tv cabinet...)

I'm going for sort of an industrial look. I've picked a bench seat with metal, copper chairs for the ends. On the other side I'm going with galvanised steel tolix replica chairs & matching counter stools. (Grey)

I hope I haven't got too many different things going on

Which rug should I go with for under the table? I was thinking maybe a jute style?

What feature colour for decor would you do? I was thinking teal?

I like your choices and I think they will all compliment each other quite nicely! Did you have a photo of a teal feature wall that inspired you?

I would love to see a Steele blue/with lighter blue and white in a designer rug with maybe a touch of chocolate in it those colours look great together, then pick up those colours with accents in soft furnishings, I think as long as you tie it all together it should look fine, I think by looking at your pics, it does need some relief colour and the steele blue goes nicely with grey and chocolate as does the lighter blue, white and chocolate to go with the flooring

Do I need a brighter print for my dining area?

I love what you've done so far - I would, however, change the light frame to a black one and add matting that is the same colour as the red in your hallway print that will tie your hall way and dining area together in a subtle way as well as making the print bigger - you could take the matt out by upto 15cm (more if you're brave) and the frame width of between 2cm up to 10 (again depending on how brave you are). As it's a rather large wall you can go bigger with the matt and frame as your wall can take it and you've been restrained with the rest of your colour and material pallet. Your plants are lovely but they're lost down on the floor in the corner - if you can boost them up (I've found pots turned upside down work and have also been known to use old pottery sewer pipes painted - they're totally clean of course!) so that they're a feature rather than an afterthought.

you need a large rug underneath your living room furniture to sit ot all on there - not half on / half on. to connect the dining to the kitchen i wouid add a pendant over the kitchen bench with a smaller matching one over the dining table - that will connect the spaces. Definitely a console or buffet with a mirror above it on the wall with whee your dining table is situated. the mirror will reflect the mood lighting of the pendant back into the mirror. Use another rug in a coordinating color - not the same ( as your living) to them tie all the spaces together.

Hi Kylie,
Love your neutral colours ,I just love the floor and would be reluctant to add a rug under that beautiful table, I would add texture in cushions and throws add some fab abstracts to add to your industrial look even a beautiful metal bowl for your table would look great

You can add a great look with just a few beautiful pieces , if you want colour add with selective textured art or soft cushions and throws

I’d be careful using other wood pieces (like the coffee table and the one in the corner) which don’t match the floor tiles. Too much contrast. More white furniture (like white dining chairs or a white side buffet) should be added to help balance out / soften the dark floor. Avoid any large black pieces though. A cement top coffee table would look nice colour/texture wise, and would offset the dining table nicely. More texture and colour can be added through cushions, throws, table runner, and rugs. Teal is my favourite so I’m definitely biased, but it goes well with natural elements like what you have. See if you can find a large picture for the wall with a dark wood frame which matches (as much as possible) the floor tiles. The picture itself should include some teal colour. That will really start bringing the whole room together.

Hey! You have lots of wooden tones, I would paint the legs of your dining chairs. Perhaps an antique white? Love the wood look tiles and legs of your dining table!

So Im a bit confused... you're having the bench with the back to the couch, the stools on the end and then tolix chairs with back to island as well as tolix stools at island?
The bench and stool look rather low for a dining table but guess you've sat on them. I do think 3 different seating types around one table could look rather busy but it might work. Bench seats aren't particularly comfortable but are often used when space is a premium.
