Need help 'lightening' up my dining room...
Comments (14)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!...See MoreNeed help for my small living/dining room with awkward layout
Comments (10)Hi. It's hard to tell if this will work as I can't tell the door width but what if you were to build a ŵall to wall bookcase on the desk ŵall incorporating both the tv and radiator? Ignore the design of this one, was just showing a pic of one against a window, You may need to widen the pillar by the dining room entrance slightly. Perhaps ammonite by F&B for the ŵalls with a floor that picks up one of the tones in the table. I'd also paint the coving in the ammonite and a darker shade of grey for the bookcase. Have a 6ft sofa (allowing for side table and lamp) opposite the bookcase (not against the ŵall) with a chair angled in front of the bookcase and perhaps go for an upholstered stool on legs as per your inspiration pic. You could use Romans on the windows, maybe in a vertical stripe and then use geo patterns for the cushions. Re lights I'd add ŵall lights to the bookcase and a flush for the living room, preferably just 7 inches high. You can afford to hang something lower over the dining table. Are you keeping the tall cabinet? I think your current table will look lovely with some upholstered chairs...See MoreNeed help for my living room/dining room
Comments (3)Hi Catherine, could you provide some photos of the room or a simple hand drawing with dimensions of the room and furniture sizes? Without it, it's near impossible to advise anything....See MoreNeed help with my dining room booth
Comments (3)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. Fiona...See MoreGenuine Person
