DINING ROOM HELP! please

6 years ago

Hi! I would love some advice on filling up my dining room... I just painted my brick wall and my previous rug now doesn’t match/ is way too busy. Any advice on how to fill my room up or a rug recommendation that is not so busy is greatly appreciated. Rug suggestions, wall decor, buffet pieces, etc! (No curtains, please. I am keeping my valances)

Photoshop visual WELCOME I would love to see how to fill it up. Or if you don’t think I need a rug at all, let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much in advance !!!! Photos attached are all angles of my room

    Nice room. Is there any room open with this one?

    I could picture a softening faded rug... what color.

    Thank you so much. This room connects to our family room! :) what do you mean by softening faded rug? Thank you for the comment!

    you have a great dining room and love the feel of it. I would get a cowhide rug and then drapes for the window without the brick wall. for the wall.with the brick wall I would do a fabric shade.in thensame fabric as the curtains. the room doesnt need more than that IMO. I would remove the valance. the brick wall and furnishings you have give the room presence.

    Soft rug would balance all the hard surfaces I meant. Idk if you need a rug necessarily. Maybe a faded rug would add bit of agd-history vibe to the brick and chairs. Are they new, or not -

    Furmamma, you are so welcome.

    I might think if curtains were up, not a rug with pattern....

    Here are some more ideas. Put small corner cabinet in far corners to help warm up brick. Add fern stand with green plant or a console table keeping register clear with lamp and decor. Add more color. Turquoise would work well with earthy colors you have.

    Sure. There are lots of feather pictures. I just used this one and flipped it for purposes of the mock up.

    Do you recommend the walnut book shelf color?

  • 6 years ago

    I'd leave the brick wall plain. Adding pictures and bookcases will clutter it when it's already a statement piece by itself. I'd recommend a rustic lodge rug like the one everdebz suggested.

    I like the walnut color. It moderates your table and the brick. While the brick is nice, it is a bit too dominating so the small corner units give a finished touch to the wall. Almost like bookends at the ends of a stack of great books.

    Flo-

    Maybe I’m overthinking- lol....

    The bookshelf you put in the mock up is the distressed grey color. Here is the difference between walnut/ distressed grey.

    You would still choose the walnut, right? Just making sure before I order. Thank you so much.
