The holidays are just weeks away. Is your dining room ready? For many of us, the dining room is rarely used, it becomes a store room for things we don’t know what to do with. Dining rooms are generally located near the front of the home and give our guests one of their first impressions of who we are and how we live. Their impression doesn’t need to be a negative one.
This dining room was dated and lacked atmosphere. The homeowner wanted a change and called us in for some needed interior design. The patterned wall covering competed for attention with the rest of the room. We specified a beautiful shimmery gold faux finish for the walls that adds interest and atmosphere to the room. This finish is especially lovely in candlelight. The crown molding raises the eye while the chair rail breaks up a solid wall and adds just enough detail to the walls. The carpet was replaced with a beautiful warm toned wood floor. Lack of storage was also a problem. The charming corner hutch did not have enough storage for china, linens, and treasured collectables. The addition of a beautiful lighted hutch gives the homeowner enough display area for her glassware and collectibles with covered storage below. The new table and chairs allows seating for eight at a moments notice before adding a leaf for a larger group.
The addition of drapery panels to the room adds color, softness and just the right amount of pattern to maintain an elegant, relaxed atmosphere. The chic color palette allows the addition of coordinating accessories and tableware to continue the flow of color throughout the room.
This dining room is now ready for the many memorable moments in the years to come from birthdays, holidays and relaxing dinners with friends and family.
