Need help on my Centre Table

8 years ago

Hello all!
I am designing my drawing room but seem to be stuck on the centre table. I want a traditional and modern looking centre table of size: 4' x 3' preferably in colours gold, white and/or deep brown/antique brown. I have sketched out some designs the pictures of which I am attaching.

The main constraints are that I cannot get it polished majorly. I have to use laminates. I'll appreciate your help and advice to help me design this table or any other suggestions on centre table.

I do like the design. Quite a lot. It's modern and sophisticated. I really like the subtle detail of the base top being inset to create a reveal right under the sunmica top. I assume the width and length of the sunmica top is exactly the same as the base, it seems that way from the drawing. I like that too, it makes the reveal more purposeful. The short sides are best left plain as i think you planned. You don't show the short side so I'll assume the base connects at the top and bottom, and the field open.
I like the antique polished gold for the base. I like it in concept, I don't know the room it will go in. You're very on track, so I'm sure that is the right finish for your space. For the top carving, again I like the deep brown polish. I think it adds more to the piece by having another finish.
I'm curious about the overall height. What is it? Also, the table is large. Not huge, but large. I don't think you need to make it smaller, I just want to bring this to your attention so you make sure it will fit in your space properly.
Finally, the mirror. Are you using a plain mirror? Smoked glass mirror or a mirror with a slight antiquing would be great.

I prefer the one one the left with the thinner base. It allows for proper spacing of the mirrored squares. The right with the fatter base is crowded. For the top, I prefer the brown finish on the carving. The gold finish on the carving may have greater impact against the white sunmica, but doing all gold isn't as interesting to me as having the brown in the mix. Hope this helps.

Your wallpaper might be the best feature for your dressing room and just let it show right through a clear acrylic dressing table.Or you could continue with your touches of gold on a new vanity or by using a bit of gold leaf on an antique one. Add a gold chair to a rosewood vanity to continue with your bedroom look. My personal favorite is #4 ,5 & 6 below. Love the curves and a desk will work too.

Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

A friend of mine simply attached a shelf on wall above the table top. Going by memory his shelf was mounted at say 10 inches above table top.

Hi Raghvendra! What I understand is that you require ideas for cushions and also for the wall. First of all, decide on the theme which you are going for.....modern...European....etc. Your furniture looks a mix of the two. As such a full view of the room would help one to decide on the best combination. Also the furniture material esp sofa will decide the texture of the walls and the cloth you will use for cushions. Also the size of cushion will matter. Personal choice of the color is best. I always go for rustic looks which matches most & mingles with all set ups. It give a look of luxury too. Pl consider all these facts before you decide. Hope this will help you. Looking forward for a happy home!!

Thank you for your suggestions. Ill stick to brown carving, white top and thinner base. Lastly, I want to know if this design is good at all? I have no issues in changing if anyone can recommend nicer.

Thank you. Yes, the table top is 4' x 3'. The mirrored part is on the left and right side of the table and the front and back as we might say is left open as you understood.

The table height is 18" or 20" which honestly I haven't decided yet. but this design which is attached is made in 20". The space is large enough to accommodate this table. There's a gap of about 27" on all sides from the Sofa. So. I think it should fit in.

The mirror, I was going to put the normal mirror but this antiqued mirror fits in better. I don't know where I will find this but i will search around.

I really appreciate your suggestion. Thankyou. Do Let me know if anything else crops up in your mind.

@ Vikrant Sharma, The room is under construction so i cant really upload the pictures but can tell you the colour scheme if that is good enough.

The walls I haven't decided but it will be in soft tones of beige/off white/english greys. The sofa is Deep brown as i dont have much of an option. The side table is black with a touch of gold with very little carving on the legs. There are two easy chairs in deep goldenish fabric with slight gold touch/deep brown colour.

The TV Cabinet in front has natural wood colour + white with white panel on the wall. There's a deep brown colour Cupboard in french style too in the space.

I guess this may be good enough. Do feed in your suggestion.

I think Chroma makes wonderful suggestions! He has me thinking. Your table design looks like a Frank Lloyd Wright Arts & Crafts style.

Sometimes I like the look of a round or oval shape with the rectangle shape of the table. The door to the right might make a good table design http://www.jawawood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/unique-door-picture.jpg

Your room sounds really beautiful, Pragati! Knowing that your sofa is deep brown, definitely do the deep brown for the top carving. The polished gold base will look wonderful with the black and touch of gold side tables. You're doing a great job! Glad to hear you have thought through your space planning. The table seems an appropriate size and you have left ample space for it and the sofa. I think 20" tall is better for scale and that height gives the right spacing for the square mirrors. Anitiqued or smoked mirrors are easy to come by. Most suppliers offer that option. Good luck! Please post a pic of the room when you've finished!

@j222b : Its very modest of you to say that and I take that as a compliment.

@Chroma Design: Thankyou. I'll upload a picture of the centre table and the room once its finished for sure.
