Pamela Knight
hace 8 años
This room with be the death me of me!

The back wall is large and has a low ceiling and I'm not sure what do do with it. I also need a light fixture. Should I do rectangular or round? I was thing something rustic candle style. And suggestions would be great! Thank you!

    Definitely a round light fixture. Everything is currently squares and rectangles. You also need to lower the mirror and the grouping of 4 pieces (which should also be grouped closer together ie. the vertical space should be narrowed to match the horizontal space). I would add an upholstered seat cushion in a patterned fabric to the bench. I don't know what you currently have over the buffet, but I would be inclined to move the mirror to there and put an oversized canvas with some great colour on that long wall. (Also separate your side chairs a little - they are looking too jammed together)

      Here a couple recommendations for light fixtures:

      Also, I would lower the mirror a good 6". It is too close to the ceiling line.

      Great work! Best of Luck.

      This room is anything but rustic so I would do fabulous rectangular light fixture, i would remove the bench it does nothing for the space and serves no purpose I agree the mirror is reflecting nothing I would want to see doubled and a great piece of large art would look awesome there. I can’t see the cabinet on the left but it looks too high to be a sideboard so the mirror mounted above it will not work

      Thank you both for the suggestions! I think that'd do it!

      This is the room that you walk into from the front door. The dining area is to the left of this area. This was an older home with low ceilings and we've removed walls to create an open space. The archway to the right leads into the kitchen. Here is basically a 360 degree view of the room. I would love suggestions. The piano wall has been a difficult one as well!

      I don't want to be the one to tell you but, that mirror is sooo heavy for the dining set, could it be put somewhere else and put something more appropriate for the surroundings?

      I know you didn't ask about this, but have you tried your dining mirror to the left of the piano. It is too hefty for the dining area and might heft up the wall to the left of the piano.

      Get rid of the monster T.V cabinet it swallows light you need color in this space , too many pillows all in the same tones on the sofa you need a lamp between the chairs and IMO just too many dark pieces in one space

      You have very nice furnishings and decor items, yet many are competing with each other. Select a focal point in each room and select decor items that complement the focal point.

      For example, in your dining area, it is very appropriate to make the dining table the focal point. This is helped with a chandelier (which you've asked help with and yet are not getting - tough to keep us Houzzers on topic!) The large mirror on the wall competes to be the focal point, which is why a couple folks have suggested you remove it. You might try replacing the mirror with the four framed prints, lining them up horizontally. Also I suggest a more colorful rug under the dining table - in a color from the living room. Perhaps a rust or orange or burgundy? This will also give the dining table more attention.

      In the living area, the large tv cabinet is the most obvious focal point. Again, the other large decor items in that room - eg. the large round mirrors, are competing with the tv wall. If it seems too daunting to figure this out yourself, a few hours invested with a stager or re-designer would be money well spent. They can help you pull the rooms together, while making only minimal new purchases.

      Love your dinning room! Here are a few lighting ideas that would really make a statement in your space. Agree mirror needs to find a new wall...picture grouping is beautiful but needs same spacing vertical and horizontal between each frame. Love metal bench needs cushion with dramatic muted print. I actually think a dramatic horse canvas to replace mirror would look fantastic! Check out Zgallery.com horse in the rain.

      This would be gorgeous in your dinning room! The size is amazing for the price...any picture should be hung with the middle of picture 60"-64" from floor.
