Dining area decor help - rug and chandelier?
Comments (13)few ideas. it's a great spot, but I think this could look amazing w/a few changes. as for the rug, anything you like would work as long as it's large enough as mentioned. here is a simple sisal or a jute here's my idea. you have a great wall and great space for doing a built-it bench seating/storage along that wall. As you have it now, it's just not be used to it's full potential. Have a look at some ideas, and imagine a bench built in against the wall. you could to any type of design, cushion colors, even a settee. check out the lighting, art, colors notice the little corner cab. you could find something on craigslist and paint it yourself. this one is nice because of the built in cabinets. you wouldn't have to do both. you could do one in the corner. you could even do a little L shape in the corner like they have here....See MoreCurtains too high?

Comments (17)Thanks again! So if I order these curtains in Ivory: https://www.ballarddesigns.com/fringed-burlap-panel/rugs-drapery/drapery/burlap/162904 Should I get the roman shades in Ivory as well? I found these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hanna-Fabric-Roman-Shades-14-Colors-Free-Shipping-1800-Series/121441358089?hash=item1c46781109%3Am%3Amml67795rPST5g-10PjhntA&var=420383549431 I also found bamboo ones: (natural color, whitewash is kind of cool too?): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bamboo-Roman-Shade-Five-Colors-Free-Shipping/121456792919?hash=item1c47639557%3Am%3AmVPDoH35s1-lJ4XHov0nYpw%3Asc%3AUPSGround%2180602%21US%21-1&var=420397536102 As far as adding color to the room... am I safe to go with pretty much anything as long as I'm consistent throughout the room? E.g. pillows for couch, throw blanket, artwork on walls, etc.?...See Moredining "area" decor ideas
Comments (2)I would get 4 framed corresponding pieces of art and put 2 over each cabinet. I would put down a round area rug, as big as you can fit in that room. I'm not a fan of those mirrored cabinets, they're not providing enough contrast in the space and they're just getting lost and they look like they belong in a bedroom to me. I would use dark espresso colored pieces there instead. It's unfortunate that your drapery rod is not hung at the ceiling (see if you can fix that understanding it will impact the length of your drapery panels). Then I would switch out the lighting fixture to one that is wrought iron with some crystal bling in it so that it stands out more and gives more impact (the one you have now is getting lost and has no impact at all), and then get an ORB drapery rod to go with it. Then with your accessories you're going to need to show some creativity/style that I'm not seeing yet (everything in that space is very "safe") because your room is really dancing on the line of boring right now . You don't have anything that is really creating any visual interest, so you need to interject some flavor into that space or it's just going to sit "flat". And that does not necessarily mean color ..... monochromatic color palettes are great, but you run the risk of boring if you're not careful. You still have to have CONTRAST in any color scheme, even neutral ones....See Moreneed help finding an area rug to go under the dining room table.
Comments (16)Put your centerpiece on the chess table. Is the other ornate dining set for breakfast, gaming or could it be used here? Do you want to continue with the cow head/skin theme, leaning SW in your decor? They aren't really "cozy and elegant," IMO. Is a new chandy in the picture? That one misses the mark on elegance. You need a minimum of 36-42" from the table top to any baseboards or furniture surrounding the table to allow for chair sit/scoot space. I'd do that measurement first. I really wouldn't want the rug jammed up against the exterior wall. Maybe the smaller, round table would be a better choice for using a rug here....See MoreShannon Taylor

4 years agoI know you love neutral but I would look for rugs and drapes with a hint of color. Too much neutral can be boring (sorry). I do love your choices of wall color! Are you going modern, contemporary, traditional, or what?

These few examples may help you decide what you do and don't like for a rug in your room. Remember that your paint has a slight green undertone.
I love this gray jute shown below in your room.
At first I thought this rug would work in your room, but you can see that the blue in the rug is really off with the wall color
