Just got a new table for our newly renovated conservatory. DH loves it.. but it's hideous isn't it?

It's not my taste but it goes with the chairs and carpet.

MrsSkylerWhite · 11/02/2024 14:01

Needs a great, big, shiny candelabra and some of those weird, door knocker things attaching to the back of the chairs 😁

Unlikely you can return the set so yes, embrace it. Get one of those massive diamanté elephants or something and have some fun with it.

It’s not to my taste but you could get away with it in a room with a neutral floor. The glittery swirly carpet is very OTT and then the table on top pushes it out of tacky and onto another level entirely.

pictoosh · 11/02/2024 14:07

Unfortunately it is indeed an eyesore of a table.

EndlesslyDistracted · 11/02/2024 14:08

Sorry, I don’t like it. The top would be OK if the legs were plain, the chairs were in a different colour and the floor was wood effect, but all that grey and the fancy legs, just no. What’s the top made of?

custard3point14 · 11/02/2024 14:08

It's marble

The chairs, table and carpet altogether make it look a bit bling / tacky I think. You’re probably best replacing two of the three things and hopefully whatever is left will tie into a nicer decor scheme. A less fluffy, lighter carpet and chairs in a different colour without the button bits on would help a lot, if you can’t replace the table.

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 11/02/2024 14:09

It’s absolutely bloody awful. And the chairs. Everything. Hideous.

EndlesslyDistracted · 11/02/2024 14:11

Eating off a marble table will be very clattery, every time you put down a glass, knife or fork (it’s the one thing I dislike about our quartz worktops in the kitchen). I think you could get away with it if you changed the flooring. the chairs do look comfy.

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 11/02/2024 14:12

It’s rather Footballer’s Wives for my taste.

I agree with this!!

Don't try to tone it down! Totally lean into it!

HeddaGarbled · 11/02/2024 14:13

Some table mats would make a big difference.

PollyPeep · 11/02/2024 14:13

I think it goes with the rest of the decor really. Carpet and chairs both monochrome and quite bling. Could you say why you don't like it?

MadeOfAllWork · 11/02/2024 14:14

It’s not to my taste. Why do you have it if you don’t like it?

TousBous · 11/02/2024 14:15

You obviously like bling if you like glittery carpet 😂 Embrace it!

Silver is a neutral but I think a PP is right, the silver legs clash with the greys because it is just a small amount of a different tone grey. Add some more silver! A big silver candelabra like a PP suggested.

Putting a tablecloth on it will just make things worse. It would be like wearing granny pants with a red satin corset.

isthismylifenow · 11/02/2024 14:30

I can't get passed the fact there is a carpet is a conservatory. Granted I don't live in the UK but this seems odd to me.

Stranger than the table imo.

It just looks a bit busy.

SgtJuneAckland · 11/02/2024 14:32

I really don't like it, but I also would never choose a glittery grey carpet or those chairs, which it seems to be in keeping with, so I'm not sure why you hate it?

jackstini · 11/02/2024 14:34

I don't get the carpet in a conservatory either - was that there already OP or a choice?

If you can't change the table, then I think maybe you have to parody the room - go big on the tacky silver & glitter?!

IamNannyPlum · 11/02/2024 14:35

It’s not to my taste, but it goes well with the rest of the furniture. I think some of the other posters have been a bit harsh and I wouldn’t think twice if I saw it on one of my friends’ houses. I see stuff like this all over instagram in influencers’ homes and whilst it is very much a look, clearly it is a look that is popular.

OhItsOnlyCynthia · 11/02/2024 14:35

I've never seen carpet in a conservatory before.

I think it's everything together that looks OTT for that area and type of room. It's obviously difficult to tell from the photos, but it doesn't look like a vast conservatory. That table is a big statement to make in anything but a huge room.

surprise4 · 11/02/2024 14:36

Not my taste either but I think it matches the room as a whole.

rumbypumby · 11/02/2024 14:36

Is glitter/sparkle/grey a theme throughout your house? If so I would just go for it and add more silver. It's the table legs making it look a bit odd, and the chairs look a bit blue against the dark carpet. Has the carpet been hoovered in a way to make those lines on it or is that the design?

Is the wall pink though? If so maybe bring some more pink in.

Houseplanter · 11/02/2024 14:38

It would look a lot better with different chairs.

(Trying to be positive here)

custard3point14 · 11/02/2024 14:39

No the carpet is just a normal dark grey carpet with glitter in, it just looks textured as it's new I think or the lighting. We put a carpet in there just to warm it up a bit and make it feel a bit more like a room
