Part 2: Dining Room Reveal
Welcome to the Dining Room Reveal! In case you missed it the Family Room Reveal was posted right before this one, here. As you can see the dining room connects with the family room in a big way. There is a large opening that allows you to see into both rooms from either space. We wanted to make sure the rooms felt connected to each other and were cohesive. Here is peak into how the opening is situated:
To help make the rooms feel united we carried some of the same colors throughout. We stuck with light neutrals and black. The walls are painted the same color in both rooms. Even though the rugs are different, the styles and pattern work well, together. We added a fun black border for the dining room area rug and used it on the stairs, too. It makes a powerful statement and grounds the room.
The main pieces in the dining room are dark; the dining table, chairs and console, but the room stills feels light. Having white walls helps as well as a light rug. We also used textured window treatments in a light color. The room has large windows that allows for tons of natural light. That’s an added bonus!
We added a white bar area with gold shelves. This became a very fun addition and keeps the room feeling light and airy. The gold chandelier gives the whole space a “WOW” factor.
We carried the brass accents throughout on the chairs and the shelving.
We even carried the gold into the entry that opens into the dining space.
One of the most popular trends we are seeing in the new year, is the use of texture. We took advantage of this and used it wherever we could. On the floors, windows, seating, and the bar that has a woven texture finish on it. It helps keep the room feeling light and provides tons of interest.
