Designers like Amanda Nisbet are good at turning our assumptions of what a room should look like on their head and you shouldn’t be afraid to do the same. Why not follow Nisbet’s lead and expand your kitchen seating with a cheerful picnic bench?

Capture This Room’s Spirit
Ballard Designs Coral Chandelier, $299 at Ballard Designs
I love how white makes the shape feel so modern. Why not in your kitchen? (Plus, the designer’s original cost more than $1,000!)

KidKraft Avalon Chair in Blue Price, $35.99 at Wayfair
The cheerful outdoorsy blue color of this chair will have the kids fighting over it.
