My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dining room ideas

6 years ago

Need ideas or advice on how to pop my formal dining room. My colors are orange and teal. If you have any other color ideas please let me know

    Not a pro, so personal opinions only. Nice start, but you definitely need a bigger rug under the table. Maybe something with your colors in it, but a lot larger. The chairs, when pulled out for guests, should still be on the rug. I'd also think about replacing those two matched art pieces with a single larger piece, and I'd take those two large candle holders away. The sculptural piece would be more interesting standing on its own.
