Interstitial spaces, or spaces that in between two functioning rooms are becoming more and more common as a use for sitting and dining areas. For one, sitting and dining are perfect functions for wide open rooms with open floor plans, and they also tend to raise the efficiency of the house plan by reducing circulation space and converting that into programmatic, or functioning space.
Back to this design, this circular table absolutely fits nicely without interrupting the traffic flow to the large open french doors. A square or rectangular table would feel more obstructive, as an obstacle to get around.
Again capitalizing on the use of the pickled wood tile floors, this design is representative of the playfulness between formality, and casual. The formality tends to be revealed by the used of the highly customized ceiling soffits, the large crown molding, and the decorative wall moldings. The casual elements would be the wood floor, matching table top, soft stripes window coverings beyond, and the complimenting chair patterns.
