Dining room furniture question

I have a large dining room. (It's much less appealing than it sounds because dining just does not take up that much room and there are other rooms that I wish had the space, but that's another post.Chat Icon )

Right now we have a large oak table and a black buffet, which is like a hutch but one piece - about 4.5 feet high. It would make more sense to have a full sized hutch in such a big room, but I really, really love the piece, so I'm being stubborn for now.Chat Icon

Can I ask what else you have in your dining rooms? I am trying to picture what other piece of furniture I could have that would not look randomly placed or make the room look cluttered.

Yes, I could definitely use more storage, either drawers or cabinet type.

Sorry, no pics.

Thanks!!

Not sure what my price point is, although probably not 4 figures.

I definitely want to see all ideas, though, even expensive ones, because I could always seek out a cheaper version of the item.Chat Icon

Re: Dining room furniture question

If you already have a hutch, what about a long console/serving table?

You can accessorize it and hang some artwork over it, and when you have large gathering can use it for food, wine, etc.

Kinda like this, but in whatever size/style.

The set we're buying has a china cabinet and a bufftet that go with it. If you don't have room for a full buffet (although they probably do come in different sizes) you could find a nice sofa table, similar to what was mentioned above.
