Hi there! You have a beautiful dining room! I love the windows, and your furniture looks made to order for,this space.

I think what you are now needing is some softness through textiles. I would start with a beautiful Persian or hand hooked rug that has many colors you could pull from it. Pick one to use on your walls, add a second for the ceiling, and then bring in some beautiful Dupioni silk curtain panels for some shimmer. It looks like the front window only could benefit,from the panels -'I would leave that high window as is.

You could also slipcover the two end chairs if you want, for more texture and to break up the dark woods a bit.

I quite like the chandelier and don't think it's too big. Something with a little more bling - maybe a Pottery Barn chandy with tear drop crystals would add a little more sparkle though.

I'm sure others will come up with great ideas - have fun decorating this lovely room!

Just want to add that the house was built in 1917 and this is the original floor and we didn't want to replace it. Also the furnitures are a mix of new (table and chairs) but the rest is old stuff we love but we are open to new ideas and changes.

Wer so lieb fragt... Eigentlich bin ich ja eher ein Freund klarer, nicht zu vollgestopfter Räume und hätte spontan gedacht, dass man das quergestellte Bett durchaus tagsüber zum Sofa umfunktionieren kann, um dem Raum etwas Luft zu lassen. Nachdem ich jedoch die Fotos aus der Serie gesehen habe, kommt nun doch ein ganz anderer Vorschlag: Die Zeichnung erklärt sich selbst, denke ich - links der Tür das Hochbett, unter dem eine Kommode und ein vielleicht seltener benutzter Kleiderschrank mit Kleiderstange Platz finden. Die Schubladen der Kommode und die zugehörigen Griffe würde ich vielleicht auf Antik- oder Flohmärkten zusammensuchen oder zumindest wie einen alten Schrank gestalten, da sie ja gleichzeitig das Entree zum Raum bilden. Neben der Tür bleibt Platz für einen schmalen Spiegel mit kleiner Ablage für Telefon und Portemonnaie, natürlich aus den 60ern. Das Bett oben dient als Rückzugsort, seitlich ist genügend Ablagefläche für Laptop, Leuchte, Bücher, Getränke und so fort, dort würde ich Steckdosen installieren. Gegenüber an der rechten Wand ist der TV-Apparat so weit oben angebracht, dass man vom Bett aus bequem fernsehen kann. Die rechte Wand wird als Stauraum genutzt, mit einer Aussparung für den Schreibtisch. An der Abkofferung könnte man einen LED-SChriftzug über die gesamte Wandbreite anbringen, der für angenehmes Hintergrundlicht und das richtige Ambiente sorgt. Eine schlanke 60er-Jahre Couch mit Fußteil passt an die Betthaupt-Wand, darüber und daneben ist Platz für die Musik. Wichtigste Anschaffung neben der Regalwand meiner Auffassung nach: Ein dicker, fetter, lederner Schreibtischsessel auf Rollen, der bei Bedarf auch als Besuchersessel genutzt wird und auch von hinten schön aussieht. Und die kleine Couch natürlich. Langfristig wäre ein gediegenerer Schreibtisch oder alternativ eine zum Regalsystem gehörige und dort direkt integrierte Schreibtischplatte schön. Damit die Regalwand nicht zu chaotisch wirkt, wären einige geschlossene Fächer und etwas Ordnung im offenen Bereich hilfreich. Das Bett ist ein Eigenbauprojekt, hier müsste man sich etwas Schönes ausdenken, um den gewünschten Industrie-Sixties-Shabby-Luxus-Look zu erzeugen. Ich bin gespannt auf weitere Ideen und wünsche viel Erfolg bei der Umsetzung.

Kitchen/dining room wall
Q
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

I like karemore55's suggestions. Another thing that you can do is to paint the wall with the mirror and the end wall with a darker color that compliments the textiles that you purchase.

I think it's a lovely room and I can see why you don't want to replace the floor - it's beautiful. I'm not a fan of rugs or carpet under dining tables because of the potential for food and beverage spills, but I do think textiles will soften the room. I'd put a runner on the main table, perhaps another on the cabinet under the window. Add some green plants, either live or silk, under the window and an arrangement on the table. The trio of windows is gorgeous; it's hard to tell from the photo how they open, but if it wouldn't be in the way, a light valence would provide a softening effect but not block light.

I like it, the flooring looks really nice, but if you want to change it I would suggest a lighter wood so that you don't drown the wooden furniture into a similar flooring. An easily cleaned rug under the dining table would be nice, so that your feet are nice and cosy when you're sat there. The chandelier looks fine, I think you could do with a different coloured wall paint, something a little darker maybe, you can afford to do this as the room is not too small. The mirror helps the illusion of a larger space. Some wallpaper with an accent colour would also look great. Some decor incorporating that colour would look fab.

Side panels. Remove lamp...maybe replace with large candlesticks. Large bowl, vases etc on large piece under the window. Maybe wall color so you just see the shapes. I agree, darker color on walls would be nice. I think the chandelier is fine but nothing special. A runner would be ok if you can find one you like...I think that is hard to do...nothing too fancy. However, something on the table would be nice. Maybe one large piece. Home goods has large bowls at a reasonable price.
Add some art..vintage food/restaurant posters?

I think a nice pale color on the walls and some curtain panels would make a big difference. I like the wood floor and wouldn't hide it with a rug, but I don't like rugs under the dining room table. Depends on how much you use the table I suppose. Then all you need are some accessories in your accent color. What colors do you like?

I would take the large cabinet under the window out. I would put the buffet cabinet under the window instead with a single or a pair of matching lamps. For nice ambient lighting. The horizontal buffet cabinet under the window will mirror will mirror the horizontal aspect of window. Also it makes the whole table feel more accessible.

I definitely would put a rug under the table perhaps a Pottery Barn style rug.' I see Karemore above has stated that too and she is exactly right on.

Find images you like and have them framed, or a large single picture on the wall that is vacated when you move the buffet under the window.

Now, this is important! Pull the chairs back from table enought to expose a certain amount of the seat. It is a common amateur mistake to push the chairs tight agains the table,l but this creates a barrier to the table, like a fence or a crib. You want the beautiful seats to be exposed somewhat in a welcoming position.

Hello! You have a beautiful space!! I love the overall feel of the room. Before picking out colors, I think you need some millwork. I would suggest installing trim around the windows, crown molding, and tall wainscoting around the room (not short, line it up with the bottom casing on the high window. Then, you'll have a small area for paint or wallpaper to really make the room pop. Your floors are gorgeous, and I could see an area rug under the table to coordinate with the new wall color. Here's my thought:

Solincia I like the millwork and the picture of the Vickory Residence has the the buffet at the far end as I too had suggested, and I think it looks great.

Thank you all for the comments. I feel like a kid in a candy box reading them. I will thus go look for a rug for a start. My living room rug has a soft yellow undertone (see attached) so I was thinking of getting a redish persian rug. Please tell me what you think. I will also remove the big piece by the window and replace it with the credenza as suggested and post new pics.

I would first start with a rug to add warmth to the room. Find a rug you like, something more traditional since you have some antiques. Once you select a rug, I would pull a color from it and warm up the walls. A color on the walls, even if it's neutral, will create contrast with your window and base moulding and help them pop. Also consider adding a pair of tall skinny lamps to the sideboard and selecting a chandelier that makes more of a statement. These things will give your room some character and then you can start filling in the holes with smaller accessories. Have fun!

Idalu, Your LR rug is amazing! Yes, you could go with red for the DR rug, and red always looks so wonderful in a DR. I also,see a beautiful teal color in your LR rug, so that might be another color you could pull.

Lucky you to live in this period home with original hardwood floors!

You might want to add some narrow built-ins to define the space.
