We have 100” from the end of the sofa to the edge of the island counter (the counter itself, not the base). We started with a 45” round table but found we could not put all four chairs at it without obstructing the walkway between the dining table and living area. We had to get a bit creative to find something that would fit perfectly. Our solution was a 48”x30” butcher block from Lowe’s, a set of metal table legs from Amazon, and some compact modern chairs that I reupholstered with real leather. Along with the counter stools we can seat 8 if need be, but that would be a unicorn situation for us.
We keep three chairs around the table and the fourth is at the desk area but we can easily scoot the table out a few inches and bring it in when needed.
Hope that helps. |
You home looks beautifully and tastefully furnished - thanks so much for posting the pics - this is great inspiration for me, as it’s kinda hard to visualize all this with an empty house right now.
