roundtable sessions

 

above images from my pinterest boards

my eyes are still on the radar for round tables that are placed in the most unlikely places. maybe it's just me, i'm a frog in a well, i haven't seen much. i initially thought most people would place a square or oblong table against a wall. my contractor also drew in one in the floor plan. but afterwards he said a round table's more versatile. fact. so we got a round glass table with a trumpet base. i used it as a dining table for the first few weeks or longer. then i played around with the layout when more furniture arrived. it's now behind my armchairs next to one wall in the living room. i've been taking my meals at a small low side table with a trumpet base on the other side of the living room. another alternative i used was to place it next to the tv mounted on the 'feature' wall. i thought to place plants underneath the table and other random stuff on the table.

old brand new

i know it's hard to envision what i'm trying to say. i'm just trying to do things the unusual way, yet i'm not sure i should bother when it's not something i'm terribly good at. do you find any of the layouts above odd? i think it's refreshing and i don't dislike it at all. but of course, right? since the stylists are experts and they can't be wrong.
