Need help with my dining room booth

7 years ago

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble deciding on the two colours for the patterned background to my booth (the green bench will basically fit into it). The booth will be framed in brass as well as the door handles. I've attached a photo of one of my sliding doors so you get a sense of the room in general. Any ideas would be huge help!
Thank you

Acid yellow works very well with teal blue (booth seat) and grey, for the wall pattern design I would complement the yellow with either the grey or blue (grey I think would work better, then you can accent the teal blue around the room)

Using three key colours is my preference for any room. I've added a pallette below so you can see how they work together:)

hope this helps.

Do NOT hang art higher- its at the right height. Normally I would not recommend hanging a mirror in the dining area ( who wants to catch yourself eating!) .... but it would bounce a bit more light around. But I do love the turquoise painting. The two chairs by the window look lost and do not relate to the rest of the room, they need a little table between them, also the little cushions on them disappear- what about some aqua cushions here? I would definitely hang a mirror on the wallpapered wall opposite the windows to reflect the views and break up the busy pattern. The rug by the sofa is nice but a bit matchy matchy with the wall and sofa. I would break it up with a warmer neutral like a sisal rug. But of course I am basing my coments on what colours I can see on my monitor! Your home is already beautiful and you have good taste so choose what you want from any advice given here!

hi ! lining up the sofa to a feature such as a fire place is a good start... but if moving the door complicates issues then maybe it might be easier to move the fireplace ? As it looks like its not got one at the moment ? so you'd be putting it in anyway ? personally i like a pair of chairs and a decent height table betweeen them in a bay ... somewhere to play chess etc ... its tricky to comment more without room sizes ... if the fire you are thinking of is a faux one, I'd suggest maybe consider sofa on existing tv wall, and tv/ fireplace on internal wall might offer up another option ? that way you could maybe have seating on the wall between dining and lounge and the external wall, and bay ? its quite nice to see seating when you walk in a room, (with pics above ) and then get the bonus of a feature like a fireplace when you are in there ! ...changing the internal doors to glazed might give a bit more light into hallway which might be nice ! if current are fire doors though - then keep as they are! ( if it has ground floor and more than one upstairs level they will / should be fire doors )

Marble would still work well in all those areas - luxurious and dramatic! A couple of points to take care with: - Take care if you're option for high gloss, as they can be slippery when wet - If you're opting for a very "white" marble (Carrara or some such), be prepared for it to show every dirty mark and need regular cleaning. If your lifestye can cope with this great - if you have three labrodors and live in a pair of Hunter wellies, I'd urge caution....

I think you could put the tv in the opposite corner on the other side of the window, then put the two chairs (if they'll fit) side by side on that wall (with the door) with the table in between. If these are a bit too snug, you could always angle them into the centre of the room. Then the sofa could go opposite the window at right angles to the door, but a little over towards the fireplace wall. This will give you clearly defined "square" sitting room area, which you can further delineate with a rug in your chosen accent colour and then add coordinating or matching cushions and throws. I would then move what I think is a glass cabinet (in the corner of the dining part of the room) to the left hand side of the radiator cabinet. I would then try to move the dining table more towards the kitchen and the now empty corner. For the dining table I would look at getting something like a table runner or a big bowl/vase/ornament with reflects your chosen accent colour which will visually join up the two areas. I would also be tempted to replace one of the pictures with a large mirror. And also perhaps think about getting different wall art.
