Help warm up my dining area

Hello, I'm looking for suggestions on how to soften and warm up my dining area. It feels stark and cold. I've also included a pic of my foyer (right off of dining area) so up I can get an idea of my color preferences and design style. Thanks for help!

vor 9 JahrenSome suggestions to warm up and make it cozy would be to add more warm colors. It's most likely the large cool walls that gives the cool feeling. Look into adding reds, coppers, yellows in accessories and draperies, like the picture attached. For example you could add a rug with richer deeper colors and maybe add some slip covered chairs at the head and foot of the table. Even adding a copper center piece on the table filled with florals or greenery would help warm up the room.

Need help with my dining room
Kommentare (5)I think the lamp above the table is too big and hides part of the picture behind, which is a very nice one. I would prefer a more technical lamp, maybe a rail with some spotlights, possibly suspended. A carpet is a good idea, but I would definitly not put it under the table, because then even more objects would be cluttered in only one half of the room, the carpet should instead lie on the left half of the room in front of the table, so that it is not covered with furniture. It should pick up the style of the picture on the wall. My first idea would be a carpet I own myself, it fits quite nice to the picture: Ligne Roset - Menhir And I would prefer a white dining table, because the colour of the chairs would make a better contrast, the dark wood of table and floor is quite heavy....mehrUnique kitchen layout
Kommentare (11)Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen.

Kommentare (25)Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards...mehrKitchen/dining room wall
Kommentare (5)Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna...mehr

vor 9 JahrenA larger rug with some color could be a good place to start. Then add big art to balance your substantial table.

vor 9 JahrenBring those drapes home to see how they work with your pink carpet. I think they'll be too peachy. A sale is never reason enough to purchase something that doesn't work and that you can't return. I'd warm up the gray of the walls another level or two. Flank that single window with a pair of consoles, chests or demi-lune tables and lower the art. You may need to lower the art right now so that the center points are 5' above the floor. When you place furniture under them they'll need lowering more, or you could add mirrors above them. Have you tried the pink rug under the dining table? You might do that and add a round one under a round foyer table out in front of the fireplace. Or you might leave the foyer without a rug, if it is where people might track in over a good quality one.

vor 9 JahrenI've always liked those PB curtains. Get a rug in one of the colors of the curtains, then use the bay as a real window seat, or to display your green thumb.

vor 9 JahrenIt occurs to me that the rugs above are too contemporary for your space. Here's a more reserved one:
