Do these chairs and this table work together?

11 years ago

Do these chairs and this table work together? I brought the base in espresso with 48" glass table top. I need to put 5 chairs around it so they cannot be to big.

Nor great the table and chairs fight. The table is great, very bold and architectural. I would go with a more solid chair. Also the rush seat is more country, and the table more modern. Sometimes different styles look great together, but not in this case.

This is the lamp I like for above the table. This might help the discussion.

David - Thanks! Appreciate that you even drew out the plan. :) You are absolutely right, it's been difficult finding an optimum layout. In fact, our current layout is more or less the same as your plan. Would you have chosen different furniture - a smaller sofa or a different dining table perhaps? (Also, I'm curious: is there a good reason why the architect had the pillar like that?) Mona - Do you mean having a buffet at the entry? I currently do have a sideboard, though it wouldn't fit at the entry - it's about 67" wide by 18" deep. It's currently placed in the middle of the long wall. There's actually still sufficient clearance between it and the 3-seater sofa in David's plan. plague - The household shelter is a local (Singapore) building requirement. Its walls are reinforced and is meant to be a shelter in times of emergency. It can't be removed, and any renovations carried out cannot affect its integrity (there is a list of permitted and prohibited works). Normally it is just used as a pantry or storeroom.

What do you think of a mirror for the backsplash on the kitchen? You cant see the pic here, but it faces a huge window on the other side of the room. I love the idea of grey/ dark cabinets, (with a wood coloured surface worktop) but might cost a small fortune to rework it. Will check on prices. The wallpaper idea is also really nice - much to mull through. so hard to decide! I'm thinking of replacing the dining table set with a booth + round table seating and maybe add a mirror behind it space. Not sure if i can fit a whole L booth into the dining space and still fit in a table, so might just settle for a booth on one side.

What upholstery goes with this table?

I think if you want to show off the nice wood grain and inlay of the table, go light color on the sofa, even cream like the drapes, or neutral like the carpet, or a shade darker. Then you can add whatever accents you like in pillow colors, accessories which can easily change seasonally or with time and little cost. The sofa(s) are so big that you might not want them making the most design statement in the room, but just providing comfy seating and a big amount of soothing neutral color. It helps to look at your room like its a landscape painting, foreground, midground, background. Sofas would be midground and you don't want them too bright or busy to overpower the other planes in the roomscape. The colors you have now work, but I would go solid with a textured fabric, something soft like a chenille.

I can see the light with the table but not the chair. The chair is too rustic

I agree with the above comments. The table calls for a sleeker chair.

I think something like these from West Elm would be nice. The chairs are 19 inches wide. I have 4 chairs from west elm that are 18 inches wide around a 48 inch glass top table. I think even with the extra inch of width you should be ok with 5 chairs around that size table.

I think I'd like these with the table. There are others, but I don't know the budget!

If you like the style of the chair suggested by deco (I do), you may want to also look at CB2, West Elm and Restoration Hardware for similar styles.
I think part of this will also depend on your decor elsewhere in your house. A parsons-type chair will look clean and contemporary with your table but still work with more traditional furnishings, but something like deco's suggestion is great if you are going for a more modern look.

Pyramid Design Group is spot on. That table does not go with those chairs at all. If you want more sleek and modern keep the table and find new chairs at one of the stores previously mentioned. If you want more traditional/rustic/country keep the chairs and ditch the table. Personally, I think the table is great; the chairs less so.

I agree that the styles clash. A modern or neutral chair design would be more flattering
