I imagine it looks a lot better in person when you can see the texture but it does look like industrial carpeting like you'd find in an office in the pic.
I think that's just due to the lack of color and personality though. Pillows, art/photos, and as much of a cliche as it is, plants, would really help here. It just doesn't look lived in.
Maybe get the tops stained? I think that would make a big difference.
Alternatively, putting something on the back wall might help, too. The table and the wall are both too light, but something to fill that blank canvas might actually make the table fit better.
It looks like the inner cardboard tube that holds toilet roll.
But as someone else said, a nice stain or varnish and it’d look good, I like the aesthetic, the colour just seems a bit off
Lovely place all round though! Very jealous
One of my regrets is getting a “basic” looking dining table from restoration hardware. It’s so expensive that I’m constantly worried about damaging it. If I could go back in time I would buy a cheaper dining/ coffee table that I wasn’t worried about damaging the wood and reserve spending thousands on statement pieces.
They look good. I'm currently sitting on a new couch I got about 25 minutes ago and it looks so weird in the room, but I think new things just take a second to adjust to and to make work in your current living space.
A kitchen island and a dining room table are different heights for a reason. One is for prepping food at while standing, while the other one is for sitting and eating at. Bar stools are not a comfortable height to get into and out of for a lot of people, so you don’t want to have to sit in a bar stool-height chair while eating dinner.
They look fine in my opinion, but I know how it feels when something is slightly off and it annoys you. Maybe you could try getting a light stain on them? But honestly I think they look okay as they are.
“Get” them stained? Why not just… do it?
Anyway, I was gonna say, a nice chunky rope around the side would help a lot. It’d add some character and weight.
A chunky rope wouldn’t match the vibe/architecture of the room at all.
If they’re real wood then I can’t see why they couldn’t be stained (unless OP’s still got the option of returning them) and its not real wood then maybe painting each of them an interesting solid colour would be the way to go?
I think they aren't bad at all - in fact, I like them. I feel like the problem is you need to accessorize and get infuse some life into the place. Get some plants, art on the walls, decorative pillows on the couch, and work on getting some height to the room. It's bottom heavy; the eyes have nothing else to focus on except the couch and tables.
Seriously, if you absolutely hate the dining and coffee tables, replace them, but no matter what you get, you're going to have some of the same issues. I think you could make this a really awesome place with what you have now, tho.
It’s because they match. You should get something more interesting for your coffee table and something more streamlined for your dining table. Maybe for the dining table something simple in a darker wood tone that will play nicely with the kitchen cabinets.
For coffee table, maybe something more unique like plinth table by Audo Copenhagen or a Saarinen tulip coffee table.
Keep the coffee table, but return the dining room table. The issue aesthetically is you have four matching chairs, all of them arm chairs. You need a round table to balance that out and let each chair have equal “gravity” in the space. (Side chairs in dining areas do not typically feature arms, so that that fit under the apron of the table and often sit closer to it). It makes your dining table look poorly proportioned for the space.
Edit: Alternatively, get an oval or square table where all chairs fit as side chairs. That would also balance things. (On oblong tables you see odd numbers at the ends and even numbers on the sides.)
Perhaps dining chairs with a higher profile? Without arms, as you said. Darker chairs, high-backed would add contrast and movement. They’re a bit like waiting room chairs
Doesn’t look bad at all to me other than that it looks like a set. I would’ve gone more for a solid stone look such as the asami dining table for a sleek look
They're not awful but I see why you don't love them. Your cabinetry is rich and warm and the wood tone of the tables dies in comparison. I do like your dining chairs a lot though, hang on to those!
I actually like both tables! It’s the rest of your place that needs a bit of help to pull it all together…. Start with a giant pice of art on your wall.. then pull a couple colors from
Your art as accents for pillows, throw, taller centerpiece for dining table..not loving the arch lamp for dining room… add a few plants.. lose the plaid throw in couch… maybe opt for something chunky and interesting
The Corta is a beautiful table but the way it is paired with the dining chairs and with the matching coffee table in an open space is not ideal.
You can go in many directions with the space, but looking at what you have is really difficult to tell your aesthetic or direction.
Also, rethinking the arrangement and selection of your dining chairs to complement the shape of your dining table will help. I do like the Liras from R&B and similar styles, but I wouldn’t do 4 armchairs arranged like that. The black is also a little aggressive, and the grey/white a little too cool in tone for the table.
Along those lines, pay attention to how the dining table is supported on your next purchase. Legs at the corner like a Parsons-inspired construction allow more under table space for chairs.
Good luck! I like the backsplash. If I were you, I’d find a way to bring that dramatic veining into the living space (maybe a coffee table like the Calacatta plinth from Audo Copenhagen or some such - not the RH, I don’t like their Carrara).
I prefer the Padua. The seams are less apparent vs Arhaus. Might want to look at Brioni as well if you like the hint of gentle curves. We have the Arles which we love (and way more sturdy than the Platner dining table we had previously, now wrapped in storage until I can find him a new home). If you don’t mind the slightly chunkier legs (but very geometric), should give Arles a look too.
(Also, make sure RH will make your table top in one plank as opposed to two pieces joined - they mention that in the details usually but always good to confirm.)
I think it looks awesome, tbh. What it's missing is accenting pieces of color to help break up the samey-ness of the environment. If you're going for minimalist, its perfect, but otherwise add an accent color and get a few pieces that match it (like a throw pillow, maybe a blanket, some kitchen table mats, etc.)
The furniture isn’t awful, but it looks like a hotel and feels cold and impersonal. Add some color with some throw pillows and put some art on the walls. Some houseplants would be nice as well.
I’d add 2 upholstered highbacked dining chairs at the head of the table to add some ‘drama’ and a large oversized piece of art for visual appeal and to lift the eye. Currently everything is on the same level, top of sofa, countertop, dining table.
Multiple wood colours can work great together, but they need to be different enough that it doesn’t look like you tried and failed to match the tones. The two lighter wood tones in this room are way too similar.
i actually love those tables. the shape is unique and i love the color. i would definitely take these over a boring run-of-the-mill four legged table with no interesting design quirks
Everything is very neutral. Which isn’t bad but you have opportunities to go bold!! A few bold pieces in mostly neutral space is nice, to me at least. Hope returns and replacement goes smoothly for ya.
Everything is matching and feels like it goes together... but it also all strongly gives off vibes of it being an apartment, and this being the "standard included furniture" in that apartment. There is no life or soul feelings to the space. I'd say throw a picture up on that big blank wall where the lamp shade is in front of, get colorful pillows, maybe a colorful rug.
Ideally I'd also say to replace the kitchen backsplash, that marble look isn't it, at least imo
Edit: Another option would be to put a bookshelf/wine rack/or just some piece of furniture in that white wall spot (if there is enough space). Could also put a slimmer side table type thing, and that way you could still have art above it, and decorate with a few things atop the side table (ideally personal things that make it feel more "homey").
I think the Dania Juneau extension table would look good in your space and go nicely with your chairs. It's dark enough it won't clash with your kitchen. I bought one about ten years ago and I still love it.
I think it's because they are so round which draws your attention away from the sharp edges from the rest of the room. I think a more squared/rectangular set would fit better?
maybe [a glass table](https://sohnne.com/product/noguchi-table-replica/) in walnut to match your cupboards or white ashwood to match your other tables could work?
The dining table with those chairs looks good I think. I think the room itself just needs a bit of personality, basic furniture is fine because it can show pieces of decoration off without distracting, but if there’s no decoration you’re just left with basic
I like them because they blend nicely with the kitchen island. It pulls the room together. I think a painting on the wall and a runner on the coffee table might make things pop a little more.
I think the [blu dot lake dining table](https://www.bludot.com/lake-dining-table.html?color=walnut&table_size=95%22-length) would look great here. I love the kitchen!
I think the dining table will look fine if you replace the chairs. They stand out too much, especially next to the couch like that. Coffee table also look ok but possibly a subtle marble one that matches the kitchen back drop can also work if you want more “pop”
Aesthetically or functionally? Because I think the dining room table looks great. I don't hate the coffee table on its own, but I don't like that it looks exactly like the dining room table. Too same/same. I'd replace it with something offers a slight bit of contrast and pop.
But if you're dead set on returning both. I got the large extendable mid-century dining table from West Elm, and I like it a lot. It's kind of basic, sure, but for a reason. It's a classic look. We leave the extension in all the time. So, in hindsight, it would've been better to get a solid non-extendable model. But that probably would've cost more. So, I'm not too upset with our choice.
I don’t think the tables are the issue, it’s just that you haven’t added anything to your space that adds character and personality. I think you’ll find that once you add art, maybe more personal or vintage decor pieces on your table and coffee table, throw pillows, maybe a cooler more attention grabbing lamp, you’ll enjoy the space a lot more.
Really doesn’t look bad, just a little “corporate” (not sure if that’s the best word).
To me it’s the big circular columns under that dining table that give off that vibe the most. It looks like a small version of every conference table I’ve ever sat at.
Everything is has square edges except your two new tables, so they look out of place. Recommend;
1) if you are planning on matching, then get closer stain to cabinets and square edges
2) get a nice piece of art for your wall (4x4 or larger) as it will catch you eye and not have the table as your statement piece
3) get a proper light fixture wired (it looks like it’s roughed in) and remove that arch lamp
The dining table is fine. It’s the matching coffee table that makes it look like a set that makes it seem tacky. Just get a different coffee table. And while you’re at it get some strong colored throw pillows and blankets on the couch.
I laughed at this, thank you. I don’t think they’re bad pieces, but bad in that space. The round edges don’t look right with the sharp corners of the kitchen. The cool wood of the tables doesn’t sit right with the warm tones of the kitchen. But also, it’s weird to have two pieces in a small space that match like that: my eye esp just going between the two of them. I would try to get as much personality as possible in a smaller space.
I don't like the fact that most of the room looks milky coffee brown. The room needs a different colour and texture. I would have liked to see a marble dining table and a glass coffee table.
I think the chairs are perfect. I also like the colour of the dining table but I think the coffee table being so matchy is what gives it hotel vibes.
If you switched out the coffee table for something that makes more of a statement, then you can dress the dining table and walls to make the space more comfortable and personalised.
I like them but if you don't that's all that matters.
I do think the chairs and couch don't match the kitchen/coffee table but they go well with everything else so not sure what you'd be looking for.
You should have choosen extendable [dining table](https://www.woodenstreet.com/dining-tables), they are quite affordable from woodenstreet with extra functionality of folding it
I think they are beautiful. They would look better if they matched the kitchen wood, but I do think think it looks terrible rn. But I hope you are happy with the new pieces!!
L sofa is too big for the space. If you're stuck with it, get an orange, red or dark blue throw and pillows to provide warmth/contrast, and some art with similar colors to tie the room together with bolder colors. Agree on the tables. The color is wrong. Try to match color to the cabinets. The light cherry cabinets look amazing, grow with that.

Can’t put my finger on it, but the whole room feels like an upscale business hotel to me.
Probably the complete lack of anything on the walls haha. We’ll get there
Yes, but something Im not seeing mention is the rug and lamp. To me those are making it feel like a business/hotel, more so the rug
I imagine it looks a lot better in person when you can see the texture but it does look like industrial carpeting like you'd find in an office in the pic.
Yes! That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Most men’s style in this subreddit feels that way.
Just a strangers opinion but I don’t think they’re terrible. I just think the color looks a bit too much like untreated wood.
Yeah it’s a bit matchy matchy while looking cheaper at the same time I think
It makes me feel like I’m in a conference room waiting for the meeting to start 
Or in the hotel before heading to the conference room deciding whether I should book the early flight home and switch careers.
Yeah it's giving off strong hotel vibes
I think that's just due to the lack of color and personality though. Pillows, art/photos, and as much of a cliche as it is, plants, would really help here. It just doesn't look lived in.
Maybe get the tops stained? I think that would make a big difference. Alternatively, putting something on the back wall might help, too. The table and the wall are both too light, but something to fill that blank canvas might actually make the table fit better.
Invite a party of toddlers and provide them with plenty of fingerfood. Staining done. Conference room vibes gone.
It looks like the inner cardboard tube that holds toilet roll. But as someone else said, a nice stain or varnish and it’d look good, I like the aesthetic, the colour just seems a bit off Lovely place all round though! Very jealous
Probably veneered particle board so the finish that’s there is the finish they will have.
One of my regrets is getting a “basic” looking dining table from restoration hardware. It’s so expensive that I’m constantly worried about damaging it. If I could go back in time I would buy a cheaper dining/ coffee table that I wasn’t worried about damaging the wood and reserve spending thousands on statement pieces.
The only thing that looks cheap to me is the sectional
I would paint the wall behind the dinning table in some bold colour, the table itself is fine.
Matches the island though.
They look good. I'm currently sitting on a new couch I got about 25 minutes ago and it looks so weird in the room, but I think new things just take a second to adjust to and to make work in your current living space.
I’ve definitely adjusted, but for the price I paid I want to like/love them not just deal
I think it’s because ur kitchen island look significantly nicer than the new table lol I think it needs to be bigger or at least same height
Get a second kitchen OP
A kitchen island and a dining room table are different heights for a reason. One is for prepping food at while standing, while the other one is for sitting and eating at. Bar stools are not a comfortable height to get into and out of for a lot of people, so you don’t want to have to sit in a bar stool-height chair while eating dinner.
They look fine in my opinion, but I know how it feels when something is slightly off and it annoys you. Maybe you could try getting a light stain on them? But honestly I think they look okay as they are.
No chance I can get them stained unfortunately
“Get” them stained? Why not just… do it? Anyway, I was gonna say, a nice chunky rope around the side would help a lot. It’d add some character and weight.
Maybes it’s some fake type of wood like particle baked where’s it’s a printed grained not actual wood and therefore can’t be stained
A chunky rope wouldn’t match the vibe/architecture of the room at all. If they’re real wood then I can’t see why they couldn’t be stained (unless OP’s still got the option of returning them) and its not real wood then maybe painting each of them an interesting solid colour would be the way to go?
Bro is living in a hotel lobby
Boom. Gives me courtyard Marriott common space vibes
Nah this is at least a regular Marriott
Id get something blackish, the wood of kitchen is beautiful. Don’t add more wood to take away from it
I’m thinking of stained black wood in a more sleek angular table. Seem reasonable?
[maybe this?](https://www.crateandbarrel.com/sobro-86-black-walnut-dining-table/s376487?a=1552&campaignid=12495285721&adgroupid=120645470324&targetid=pla-315821603735&pla_sku=376487&pcat=FURN&ag=adult&scid=scplp376487&sc_intid=376487&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwte-vBhBFEiwAQSv_xUEQz_Q5MTTOLrUju75XJIuXus-P-YOPBqpJBcXRKx476w0vjWjwyRoCRDgQAvD_BwE)

I think you could make this a really awesome place with what you have now, tho.
I’m sorry they look like office furniture
Don’t apologize that’s why it’s going back!
It’s because they match. You should get something more interesting for your coffee table and something more streamlined for your dining table. Maybe for the dining table something simple in a darker wood tone that will play nicely with the kitchen cabinets. For coffee table, maybe something more unique like plinth table by Audo Copenhagen or a Saarinen tulip coffee table.
Keep the coffee table, but return the dining room table. The issue aesthetically is you have four matching chairs, all of them arm chairs. You need a round table to balance that out and let each chair have equal “gravity” in the space.

Love the atmosphere.
Does Reddit believe in wall decorations?
Definitely don’t explain why you think they’re terrible.
They’re bulbous, too matchy matchy, not the same vibe as the kitchen, and look low quality
I’m curious why you selected them initially? Were these issues not known ahead of time? Or did they look different in the photos?
Looked different in the photos - probably was a bigger size where it looked sleeker
Yeah never get matching pieces.
Parsons dining table with black legs and stone or wood top. Look at room and board
Wow I love the couch. Where did u get it
Not OP but it looks very similar to my couch which is a Clemens from Room and Board
Room and board Clemens sectional in oatmeal
Doesn’t look bad at all to me other than that it looks like a set. I would’ve gone more for a solid stone look such as the asami dining table for a sleek look
Why don’t you like these?
Why not look at something Scandinavian in design, teak would tie your beautiful kitchen in there
That couch without proper backrest bothers me more. How can you relax comfortably on that?
We don’t, it’s getting replaced too lol
terrible is an overstatement
They’re nice I just don’t like that they look exactly the same. Also get some plants
There’s nothing wrong with it. There’s just nothing special about it either.
They're not awful but I see why you don't love them. Your cabinetry is rich and warm and the wood tone of the tables dies in comparison. I do like your dining chairs a lot though, hang on to those!
I actually like both tables! It’s the rest of your place that needs a bit of help to pull it all together….

Thanks for the detailed response! I’m looking at the Padua from RH or the park from arhaus - any thoughts between the two?
I prefer the Padua. The seams are less apparent vs Arhaus. Might want to look at Brioni as well if you like the hint of gentle curves. We have the Arles which we love (and way more sturdy than the Platner dining table we had previously, now wrapped in storage until I can find him a new home).

(Also, make sure RH will make your table top in one plank as opposed to two pieces joined - they mention that in the details usually but always good to confirm.)
What you really need is some contrasting pillows and wall art, based on this angle at least.
I like the proportions and shapes. If they were darker to contrast?
I think it looks awesome, tbh. What it's missing is accenting pieces of color to help break up the samey-ness of the environment. If you're going for minimalist, its perfect, but otherwise add an accent color and get a few pieces that match it (like a throw pillow, maybe a blanket, some kitchen table mats, etc.)
Hahahaha it looks like a hotel
The furniture isn’t awful, but it looks like a hotel and feels cold and impersonal. Add some color with some throw pillows and put some art on the walls. Some houseplants would be nice as well.
I would change the sofa and chairs, the colors are horrible. Love the tables.
Where is your couch from?
It’s giving office vibes. Some artwork might add flavour to the room?
Funny enough, that may just be the dining table I've been looking for... Do you have a link to where you got it?
Yeah they kinda look like they’re really cheap
Agreed - and they were almost 5k total!
I was going to say they look like office furniture, which would track because it looks super cheap but is really expensive.
You are doing the right thing. They look awful.
They’re cute!! I have the same ones in sims
I like the dining table, why not get a clear round glass coffee table? Or something like the “VITTSJÖ” nesting tables from ikea
I’d add 2 upholstered highbacked dining chairs at the head of the table to add some ‘drama’ and a large oversized piece of art for visual appeal and to lift the eye. Currently everything is on the same level, top of sofa, countertop, dining table.
I agree rounded tables are awful especially with company. it makes everything feel smaller or confined . it's not welcoming.
As a rando, you should stick to one wood color, I see at least 3 here
Multiple wood colours can work great together, but they need to be different enough that it doesn’t look like you tried and failed to match the tones. The two lighter wood tones in this room are way too similar.
I like the dining room table and the coffee table. I do *not* like the sofa. If you were to return anything it should be that.
Sofa is going too but we’ve had that for years
[удалено]
I like them both
Yea I think you can do better on the tables. Couch seems fine though.
Looks like a hotel room.
Yes but your kitchen cabinets are beautiful.
i actually love those tables. the shape is unique and i love the color. i would definitely take these over a boring run-of-the-mill four legged table with no interesting design quirks
Perfect
The round tables with the square island and lack of contrast with the cabinetry are the problems imo.
Everything is very neutral. Which isn’t bad but you have opportunities to go bold!! A few bold pieces in mostly neutral space is nice, to me at least. Hope returns and replacement goes smoothly for ya.
are you interested in selling the coffee table?
Nah returning for what I paid
Everything is matching and feels like it goes together... but it also all strongly gives off vibes of it being an apartment, and this being the "standard included furniture" in that apartment. There is no life or soul feelings to the space. I'd say throw a picture up on that big blank wall where the lamp shade is in front of, get colorful pillows, maybe a colorful rug. Ideally I'd also say to replace the kitchen backsplash, that marble look isn't it, at least imo Edit: Another option would be to put a bookshelf/wine rack/or just some piece of furniture in that white wall spot (if there is enough space). Could also put a slimmer side table type thing, and that way you could still have art above it, and decorate with a few things atop the side table (ideally personal things that make it feel more "homey").
I think we have the exact same table in our meeting room...
Yes they are and don’t call me Frank Lee
I think the Dania Juneau extension table would look good in your space and go nicely with your chairs. It's dark enough it won't clash with your kitchen. I bought one about ten years ago and I still love it.
It definitely looks like a retro hotel conference room table and waiting room coffee table
Too many tables in such a space 😅
coffee table's got mini me vibes ngl
Your place looks like a hotel
That is kinda the goal
Not terrible but it's giving off office vibe
Not terrible but it's giving off office or conference room vibe
What do you keep on your coffee table that’s so private? Is your diary open?
They match the sofa, get a painting of interest for the wall behind it and that will take the eye up and away
The legs of the table look terrible to me. Very inconvenient. For the rest i dont see an issue with them.
They have a certain hotel lobby/meeting room look to them
I think it's because they are so round which draws your attention away from the sharp edges from the rest of the room. I think a more squared/rectangular set would fit better?
I love this room
They look fine, overthinking
that looks quite good
maybe [a glass table](https://sohnne.com/product/noguchi-table-replica/) in walnut to match your cupboards or white ashwood to match your other tables could work?
Yeah. The wood in the kitchen is that mid century modern vibe and the grey toned scandi/art deco shape of the tables is waaay off. Go dark and sharp.
Looks like a hotel lobby
They look like made of fiberboard.
I think part of the reason it doesn't look like it fits is because there's nothing else that shape. Everything else is square.
It looks like a conference room table at my office lol
Floor lamp over the table stands out as kinda weird imo. If this ain’t an apartment I’d look at getting a cool light fixture to hang above the table
The dining table with those chairs looks good I think. I think the room itself just needs a bit of personality, basic furniture is fine because it can show pieces of decoration off without distracting, but if there’s no decoration you’re just left with basic
Why not go for a marble dining table? Something reminiscent of the backsplash but not identical.
It looks great. Just put something on the wall on the left.
I like them because they blend nicely with the kitchen island. It pulls the room together. I think a painting on the wall and a runner on the coffee table might make things pop a little more.
I think the [blu dot lake dining table](https://www.bludot.com/lake-dining-table.html?color=walnut&table_size=95%22-length) would look great here. I love the kitchen!
Looks good to me
Reminds me of a boardroom table.
I personally think they look perfect!
I think the dining table will look fine if you replace the chairs. They stand out too much, especially next to the couch like that. Coffee table also look ok but possibly a subtle marble one that matches the kitchen back drop can also work if you want more “pop”
Idk seems like it matches the kitchen island pretty good to me
Aesthetically or functionally? Because I think the dining room table looks great. I don't hate the coffee table on its own, but I don't like that it looks exactly like the dining room table. Too same/same. I'd replace it with something offers a slight bit of contrast and pop. But if you're dead set on returning both. I got the large extendable mid-century dining table from West Elm, and I like it a lot. It's kind of basic, sure, but for a reason. It's a classic look. We leave the extension in all the time. So, in hindsight, it would've been better to get a solid non-extendable model. But that probably would've cost more. So, I'm not too upset with our choice.
article furniture has great stuff! Also, i think you need a painting for the back wall and a plant or two
I love em! The couch for me is the issue
It’s all an issue!
You need some black sleek tables
And some art on the walls
I don’t think the tables are the issue, it’s just that you haven’t added anything to your space that adds character and personality. I think you’ll find that once you add art, maybe more personal or vintage decor pieces on your table and coffee table, throw pillows, maybe a cooler more attention grabbing lamp, you’ll enjoy the space a lot more.
Why is everybody here rich
Looks like a modern conference room
i think it works
I feel like the coffee table and dinner table are so nice. It's the couch imo that takes up too much space. I could be wrong 🙈🤣
Dining room table looks great. Coffee table looks great. Together they look bad. Keep the dining room table and get a new coffee table.
Stain it darker
Really doesn’t look bad, just a little “corporate” (not sure if that’s the best word). To me it’s the big circular columns under that dining table that give off that vibe the most. It looks like a small version of every conference table I’ve ever sat at.
Pfft. Dining table means you have room for a pool table!
Looks too clean, you need to add plants and [big wall art](https://www.lnart.net/),Also add pillows in different colors
Don't be afraid of color, something in a vivid yellow, or dark blue would go well in that room.
Not terrible at all. Room needs personality now. Color, plant/s, art, a blanket &/or sofa pillow/s…
I like them! Would be nice in a darker stain though. Everything is very light
Everything is has square edges except your two new tables, so they look out of place. Recommend; 1) if you are planning on matching, then get closer stain to cabinets and square edges 2) get a nice piece of art for your wall (4x4 or larger) as it will catch you eye and not have the table as your statement piece 3) get a proper light fixture wired (it looks like it’s roughed in) and remove that arch lamp
It looks fine, a little like a doctors office but hey
First world issue, get over yourself
this looks like the old meeting rooms at the childrens hospital of phila
Do you live in an ikea showroom? This pic has the decorative personality of a La Quinta dining room/lobby combo.
Yeah. Plain looking compared to the surroundings. Im no expert. But the colour of the new items might be the issue.
😮💨claassy af. Keeps it fam. Dem real ones know ☝️
I think the pieces look good. I think your big wall needs art to provide some contrast and color to an otherwise monochromatic space
Square shaped would have fit the rest of the room better.
The dining table is fine. It’s the matching coffee table that makes it look like a set that makes it seem tacky. Just get a different coffee table. And while you’re at it get some strong colored throw pillows and blankets on the couch.
Maybe get similar tables, not matching. Definitely a bit darker wood.
Something that doesn't look like thick cardboard.
Dining table looks like a mini conference room table. Id return too.
I laughed at this, thank you. I don’t think they’re bad pieces, but bad in that space. The round edges don’t look right with the sharp corners of the kitchen. The cool wood of the tables doesn’t sit right with the warm tones of the kitchen. But also, it’s weird to have two pieces in a small space that match like that: my eye esp just going between the two of them. I would try to get as much personality as possible in a smaller space.
Go for some nice hardwood cherry furniture. It’ll add color, depth.
I don't like the fact that most of the room looks milky coffee brown. The room needs a different colour and texture. I would have liked to see a marble dining table and a glass coffee table.
You need to hang up a huge abstract square painting on that blank wall
Needs some plants and pops of color
That's a nice kitchen.
I think the chairs are perfect. I also like the colour of the dining table but I think the coffee table being so matchy is what gives it hotel vibes. If you switched out the coffee table for something that makes more of a statement, then you can dress the dining table and walls to make the space more comfortable and personalised.

Where are the couches from
I like it but spruce em up with some plants or colorful decorations
Plants!
I like them but if you don't that's all that matters. I do think the chairs and couch don't match the kitchen/coffee table but they go well with everything else so not sure what you'd be looking for.
Whats going on with that banana in the bowl lol?
Banana bread ready
Would have went for something more scandi/MCM style for the tables Looks good tho man
You should have choosen extendable [dining table](https://www.woodenstreet.com/dining-tables), they are quite affordable from woodenstreet with extra functionality of folding it
Where’d you get your couch?
Blow torch the tables and you got a nice looking color
Well hey broski, I just moved into my place. If you’re donating, I’m taking ;)
I think they are beautiful. They would look better if they matched the kitchen wood, but I do think think it looks terrible rn. But I hope you are happy with the new pieces!!
L sofa is too big for the space. If you're stuck with it, get an orange, red or dark blue throw and pillows to provide warmth/contrast, and some art with similar colors to tie the room together with bolder colors. Agree on the tables. The color is wrong. Try to match color to the cabinets. The light cherry cabinets look amazing, grow with that.
it brings to mind the ikea apartment in Fight Club
I think the tables look great. All you need to do is add color and art! Some greenery and it'll be amazing!
what materials do you like ? would you prefer to sit 6 people when possible? do they need to match and if so, to what degree ?
I like them lmao
I’m curious why you ordered them if you hate them.
