Dining Room decor help!
I’m having trouble decorating my dining room. I have a very heavy looking dark rectangular table in contrast to a light tile and wall color. The table sits in the middle of the room. I know I need chairs with a higher back (not sure of color though) and having trouble filling the wall space and adding a
few pieces to fill the corners of the rooms. The plant in this picture is no longer in this room. Any ideas on wall decor or adding a sideboard/buffet or color combinations for chairs would be so helpful!

Comments (33)FingNugSnug- the dining room furniture was bought as a set about about 7 years ago. I do have different styles going in that room because I am trying to phase out the Tuscan style pieces. I am hoping to try and keep the buffet and table as I have seen similar pieces put with more streamlined chairs and decor and it seems to work. I guess I tend to like a eclectic look. Mmmbeeer- I didn't find it offensive at all! I appreciate your honesty. What are your feeling about my current table and buffet with new chairs? Do you think that will do the trick? My table is hard to see in the picture but much more streamlined than the chairs. Basically a trestle done in a dark finish. Majority of people seemed to not like the chairs with the rings on the back so maybe they are too fadish. Thoughts on that or another style of chair that might stand the test of time or at least 10 years or so. Lol!...See Moredining room updating/decorating help needed!
Comments (22)I love your dining room and your dining room set! I like having a place for the family to have a quiet dinner. I share your fondness for the blue and white look. I think with the soft blue above and the white below, you could go with a chair fabric in a navy range, maybe in a lattice. This is a fabric I chose recently, but our dining room is part of the kitchen and that door opens to the garage. The general colors are similar though: Think how different it would be if you choose a lattice pattern or a stripe than if you went with a floral/botanical in essentially the same color range. I hadn't intended that entry mat to be part of the color scheme in the photo, but now that I look at it, a dark rug under your table is a possibility. Not black, but dark, and probably not a solid - it would show every speck. I'm not getting how the drapes fit into the room. The green stripe just seems not to go at all, but it must (even if not perfect) or you wouldn't have gotten as far as trying it out. Could you post a picture that shows how the drape wall fits into the rest of the room?...See MoreDining Room decorating help
Comments (0)I have "ivory" chairs (seem more of a cream to me now) in my dining room with a medium gray wall, white chair rail and trim and black table. I think because of the white trim and rail, the chairs seem more "yellow" to me. Any suggestions? I have been looking for an area rug that has the darker ivory, white and gray or was thinking of staining the leather (not sure if this is possible), or repainting? Any suggestions much appreciated!!!!!...See Moredining room decor help
Comments (0)I recently posted about my living room and dining room updates. I am putting the final touches on the dining room and need some help with decor ideas. I’m thinking a mirror or possibly artwork for the large wall. I need some kind of wine rack. Also what to do with the corners? Do I need something tall? Do the vases and reeds look dated? Thanks so much!!...See MoreJefefr James

Oversized painting on the left wall. Blue chairs as suggested above. Lightly patterned tan curtains to match walls (if they are tan). No fake plant in corner. Once you have a big art work, colorful chairs, and curtains, your table will look amazing and you won't need anything else in your dining room.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI’d lean towards making room feel casual, airy, and bright for your family. There are so many directions you could head and suggest looking for inspiration pictures that appeal to you and then narrow down the components you are drawn to.
I think your chairs are fine and will be complimented by the look below, using a black sideboard to work with darkness of table and provide impact against subdued floor and wall color. Add lighter and larger art for an infusion of soft color and you could bring back your plant for warmth. Accessorize side board with pottery and table with a large bowl.
A large black chandelier would make a big difference and on back wall add a series of prints. I’d also shorten drapes so they aren’t puddled and you could change rod to a thick black one - Amazon has some nice ones at good prices.
