Parquet flooring and shaker wall paneling in dining room gives which kind of look? Is this a good idea?

Sounds fine to me, I love panelling and intricate wooden floors! It could easily go for a classic Georgian, or a contemporary style. If you need help visualising it I specialise in 3D modelling for interiors so you could see what its like and play with option before you do it.

It will look amazing. Panelling has been used for hundreds of years in decor and it had a resurgence during the Arts & Crafts movement and it’s still very popular today. Whether it has a “title” I really don’t know, but it is lovely. First two pics are original traditional panelling and the others are given a modern makeover.

I would probably put in more though. Fairly close to the walls. Have them on different switch from chandelier/pendant above the table. Leaning mirror could be fun. Or a grid of mirrors on the wall. The chimney breast would be the obvious spot for a mirror, but you could hang a piece of art on there too. The window reference was more meant in the sense of that a mirror reflects light and gives depth. It all depends on how you're going to place furniture too. No doubt it will become a very cosy dining room :-)

As Jen said painting the short end walls in a warm or dark colour helps to correct the room proportions as it brings the walls in. If you're not keen on that I'd just keep the same colour on all 4. The way you've arranged art is good in separate groups as it's breaking up the length of the walls. Have you considered adding a large mirror/s on the long walls? Normally bringing some of the furniture away from the walls helps so you have something in the midddle of the room, is that a footstool or is it attached to the sofa?! I would also add floor and table lamps (regardless of room dimensions) as it will make the room feel bigger at night if some of those corners are lit. You could also add a rug, horizontal stripes are good but something like a diamond geometric would work too

Hi, the plan shows you how to decorate everything. It shows where to put the furniture. The ceilings look too high and the rooms are too square so add softness and ground the space. Use oversized pictures and floor lamp and plants to play with height and texture and to ground the space.

You might not need to paint yet if you’re feeling stuck, I’d say get some big artwork with some pops of colours like blue/orange and neutrals and stick them on the wall behind the big chairs. Make sure they’re statement size For the table I’d go for something oak or wood just to bring some warmth to the room - also have you considered a round table? That might help soften the shapes there. Then get a big rug underneath too! Kukoon and Dunelm have some really affordable ones. Personally I’d find somewhere else to put the chairs, maybe one in the corner of your room or anywhere else. They crowd the room and look out of place, instead I’d pop a sideboard and put some nice little vases/ books on top for added layers Finally I’d change the light to something more low hanging and maybe wood/brown/earthy tones just to add some wow

It sounds lovely. Sometimes it works well to tie the style of the panelling into the age/period of the house. What age is yours? There are loads of panelling ideas around atm, everyone went panelling mad during lockdown 😂

I’d also make sure the actual design works proportionally with the ceiling height
