I'd get the layout of the room right before I worried about color drenching

The light fixture should fall in the center of the window and the center of the columns to look appropriate. That means you turn the table to be in the center of the window also.

I would not color drench a room in red when the dining room table chairs and sideboard are so definitely ORANGE! The colors are going to clash.

The color you have currently is not working for the room either. Consider matching the fabric color on your sectional to get a better flow through the room.

I suspect that there used to be a wall with a doorway to the dining room. Are you sure you don't want that back again?

I would paint them the burgundy you plan to paint the room with.

think of them as part of the dining room. You'll have the top trim clean in the living room side.

go back to centering the light fixture and table? And spin the table centered on the window.

IMO color drenching is awesome sometimes but I think the color has to realte to something in the space next to it, taht is why usually it works best in more enclosed spaces . I honestly do not think that colorat all with that furniture or the floors I agree thhe table is in need of at least a turn.

It’s important that there is some color coordination in adjacent/connected rooms. Can’t see red or burgundy in living room; will you be incorporating in any way? I’d leave the columns as is and paint the DR the same color as the LT and the entire space will flow/feel larger.

If wanting color/impact, you could paint or wallpaper the ceiling or add colorful curtains and a rug (turn table first and then measure).

The color on the walls, doesnt look right. I would leave the ceiling white and also the trim, and repaint the walls, and turn table, center light fixture, and find a nice rug, to add in there. No color drenching in that room. It will never look right, especially the burgundy which already doesnt look good.

Your dining set and sideboard, which looks like Broyhill's Brasilia's great line of midcentury furniture or some variation of it, are just swallowed up in this drenching approach, not to mention making the entire space seem smaller and closed off. What pops is a can of paint and not the great dining set. Is that what you really want? Moreover, the purple tones look awful with the wood stain, which leans a bit reddish. I'd rethink that whole scheme. And, yes, your pendant should be centered on the window as suggested. Sorry, but the drenching just swallows up the dining set and the space it sits in.

I think the dining room will be a dark hole if you paint everything the same dark color. It will be hard to see the furniture. Nothing will "pop".

If you pick a redder red, it might look the entrance to hell.

Here's a great article on how to use color in connection with adjoining spaces to get a sense of flow. Your color choice doesn't connect with anything else in the sightlines. Moreover, it doesn't do justice to your dining furniture.

The OP stated she is considering painting the ceiling and trim in the "same red color". I believe she is saying the same as the current walls, not a new red. From the pictures, I would say the walls are a burgundy, not red.
