Dining room wall dilemma
Hello everyone! I am hoping someone can guide me here. I think the wall that holds the buffet and mirror looks really plain and boring. I know we need to paint....we bought this house 2 years ago and it was all fresh out of 1999, so yes the floors are also dated. We are planning a full kitchen remodel where we will update the floor, so ignore that for now. :)
What color would look good on the walls? I also think we can paint the tray ceiling for a custom look. I can always change the color of the buffet to something lighter if a dark navy would look good? The room gets a ton of natural light. Also, would look better to have all my chairs at the table, and get some larger pattered chairs for the corners of the room instead?
And then as far as this empty wall space, what do you think might look nice? I could always do a set of art pieces, sconces, etc. I am open to any ideas. My style is really eclectic with elements of traditional, French country, modern, elegant. Thanks for your input!

Comments (7)Just curious, but have you ever tried turning the table the other way? It would seem to parallel the window wall, and the side walls would seem less empty as the visual focus would be on the end wall. I would think a medium olive/moss green would be pretty and would work well with the table, the valances and your other accent pieces. As for the space between the windows, I think the issue is that while you have many nice things there (wall and table), they all feel kind of similar in size and disconnected. I A grouping of plates there ( the clock feels like the wrong style for the decor in the room) or an oval mirror to echo the shapes of the chair backs would be nice. I would keep the lamp and the pedestal with the fruit and the hens. The glass hurricane looks like an afterthought. The basket with the dried hydrangea is nice, but doesn't really add any color or interest to the arrangement. Perhaps that could go under the bench with the other basket....See MoreLiving Room/Dining Room Dilemma
Comments (3)I see that you have doubts with the distribution of your space, to begin with, it is important to define your needs, a good study will allow you to take better advantage of the space and the passage areas, that everything is connected.

Comments (4)The room could benefit from a new chandelier. If you have a need for a buffet, scootch back the chairs on that side of the room and see if you have enough room for something. It is also possible to buy console tables that are only 12" deep. I don't think one 36" square picture is going to fill the wall adequately. There was one poster a couple months ago who put family pictures in her dining room. This is unique, but it was a good way to fill the space with things she wanted to display. I'm all for breaking the rules when it suits you. Strangers shouldn't be able to tell you what you should or shouldn't put on your walls. :-) Here are some pictures of things other people did with similar space. They're not all dining rooms, but just to give you some ideas . . ....See Moreliving room+ dining room layout dilemma… tv above fireplace?
Comments (3)I understand why you wanted to have the bistro table/chairs on the window wall between the patio door and the kitchen passageway….it makes sense to have your dining area adjacent to the kitchen. The open wall at the opposite end is the perfect location for the tv. So swap the sofa and loveseat and anchor them and the cocktail table on the rug (front legs of sofa/loveseat on the rug), so the loveseat will pull in closer to the fireplace, leaving room behind for the dining area and access to the patio door. The square end table could then be placed in the corner between the sofa/loveseat....See More- 3 years ago
