Comments (6)Farrow and Ball make a suitable light shade of grey called "Cornforth White" which would work. Graham and Brown make some lovely grey wallpaper which you also might like http://www.grahambrown.com/uk/wallpaper/colour/greys You could also consider painting the skirting board a dark grey and paint the walls white, see attached dining room...See MoreNeed help for my dining room
Comments (3)Yes it's quite hard work doing a house in one go! I would say take your time though, I love my house but made a few mistakes along the way being "rushed" or just not thinking properly! Do you have any existing furniture at all? Have a look on houzz and buy interior magazines to see what styles you like or just find a thing for inspiration. The table is quite classical so maybe this will work with a few neutral colours throughout the house. You can always go classical but mix with a few contemporary bits. The good thing about using neutral colours is you can easily update when you want. Textured wallpapers are also good for interest if you're not sure on patterns. Looks a great house and layout btw!...See MoreHelp needed with dining room
Comments (4)Hello Rose, I must say I really like the wainscot as it is!! If you were going for mushroom colours and earthy tones this would be spectacular and with the mirror too!! The below chairs in a dark mole with the table in a mole colour...... Sideboard in Mole... woodwork in a darker version of mushroom... Well it's another look..... : )) For chairs.. These are beautiful and interesting looking both as a side dining chair and armchair... With a range of finishes ie gold trim and the possibility of fabric in your choice the design would be very suited it's beautiful and elegant whilst being rather different.. However the velvet is rather lovely and again could be in a range of colours.... : )) One other thought... if you need to keep the current chairs.. Perhaps change the cane work colour so it is a slightly darker more natural colour.. This would give the chairs contrast... : ))...See MoreMy drab dining area needs so much help
Comments (8)Hello Linda, Yes I like both ideas- shopping and cladding from Jonathan and Reclaimed Flooring.. Certainly a way to introduce a warmer element to go with the dining table.. You could have cladding up to dado height and introduce a grey wood if you prefer the grey colour scheme.. A Cour or Jute rug could be nice underfoot too as this is a further texture.. Then on the wall perhaps a large mirror.. It's fantastic when dining and gives a lovely ambience to the room and interesting focus.. Another thing you could do is add something to the rear wall that functions as display.. Even empty as the one below is can look fantastic! This idea can also lend itself beautifully to the idea of a room divider.. Have a think about moving the table slightly under the light fitting and then you could perhaps have a lower pendant.. If you mix textures this will give a lovely cosy feel... The blinds are interesting too and so all these elements could tie in rather nicely.. Add a nice bowl or something to the table perhaps.. It doesn't always have to be a lot to have a big impact! : ))...See More- 5 years ago
