Need decorating advice

hace 7 años

Moved in 6 months ago and would like some advice on how to decorate these walls. We will be updating our dining set sometime in the next year (picture shown for style). I would love to bring in some rustic chic... but not too sure what pieces.... Any advice on how to decorate this would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to hang drapes, I recommend the same drapes as the living room. Or same style/different color. (Your drapes in the living room are not full enough....a common mistake).

See below how the window on the left is made to look larger by adding a wide drape stack to the window. I recommend this for the narrower window on your left side. There likely will be no room to add decor

For the larger window, if you are going to add drapes, again, there will not be a lot of room for decor. You might consider an interesting tall, narrow mirror on either side.

There are many glass and chrome lights you can dhoose that will complement your pendant lights.

Hello! Great blank slate to start with! You have lots of options with this area. Here are a few ideas I instantly thought of:

-color? Maybe paint the walls.

-hang pictures or other wall decor on either side of the Windows (have them symmetrical) to keep it balanced.

-Drapes? If adding drapery panels on each side of the Windows sound like something you would like, I think it would look great. Would bring in some color & dimension.

-Change out the chandelier, bring it closer down to the table. About 30" from top

of table to bottom of chandelier is a good height.

-Rug under the table. Again another way to bring in color, texture & depth.

Good luck! You have lots of options for your space.

HI. Nice space! Congrats on the new home!

I would choose the specific dining room table and chairs prior to choosing any other items.

Recommend a chandelier to replace the fan. Needs to be lowered. If you are keeping the pendant lights in the kitchen,make sure it is not too heavy in relation to the kitchen pendants (By the way, they are hung too high). How do you feel about the glare from a clear shade? Could change them to work with the dining light.

If you are adding drapes, keep that in mind prior to choosing art, so that you can correctly calculate the space available for art.

Your current dining set, if in good shape, could be painted and work with rustic chic. Just an alternative idea.

i think some neutral starbursts would fit in with your style. This is a round table, so I'd buy a rectangular chandelier

This type of fixture would go well with your kitchen pendants.

The type of window, as well as the orientation of the room, are determining factors when choosing curtains. It is also important to consider the light we need in this space as well as the degree of privacy we want. The curtains help to dress anywhere so it is so important that you dedicate time to your choice and we help you in that. ☎️305-699-5589 Free Consultation www.artecblinds.com @artecblinds #blinds #windowtreatments #blackoutcurtains #curtains #interiordesign #interior_and_living #interiordesigner #decor #design #housedesign #homestyle #house #housedecor #homedecor #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhomes #styleathome #apartmentdecor #innovation #remodeling #renovation #roominspiration #roomdecor #love #beautiful #instagood #brickell #miami #realestate #generalcontractors

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

Hi Marina ! I think you have a place that offers a lot of design opportunities. First of all, you would have to see the direction of the sun to locate the places of stay and plan the vegetation. The best thing is that you use vegetation that absorbs the rain and does not need great maintenance and irrigation to minimize the work due to the access it presents. I could help you make a 3d design if you wanted to visualize ideas for your terrace, I would be happy to assist you! Greetings and good day!

Juxtaposed Interiors : What kind of curtains? We have some in the living room (that you can see a little bit in the 3rd picture). Would I have to have them on the larger window and the same on the smaller window?
I agree that changing the fan to a light fixture would help.
Rug under the table is not an option (although I think I does look good in magazines, lol)... I have two young kids and the floor always gets messy!

CDR Design : Thank you for the suggestions! I agree with changing out the fan and I like the suggestions you provided. Since my pendant lights have chrome rods, would that still work with the type of light fixture you suggested?
If I was to put something like the starbusts, what would I put on the other side of the window? And what to do about the left wall (the one with the smaller window)
Funny you should mention about the island pendant lights, I wanted them lower but my husband (who is taller) thought that they were in the way. The rods that are provided would mean that they would need to be 6 inches lower. I don't mind the glare from the clear glass and would like to keep them.

I like the dining set you're contemplating for the look you want. For the walls, consider hanging art in wooden frames that echo the look of that table top. The art itself needn't be rustic, just whatever you like. Many things look good in plain wooden frames.

A wood slab dining table and upholstered modern dining chairs will give you an edge / replace ceiling light fan with a chandelier - see ideas below -

Really beautiful space, great jumping off point. There are a couple things you can do, that will cost hardly anything and really transform the space. The first thing I would do, is paint the two walls, adjacent to and opposite of the sliding glass doors. This will add some color not only to the kitchen but to the living space as well.

I would take the table cloth off your table and let the natural look of the wood shine! You can get the look of slipper chairs with the ones you already have by getting some cool slip covers.

Good luck with your project and I hope this helps!

First you'll have to calculate how much room you'll have. Figure the drapes will take up 10-12" of horizontal space beyond your window.

I recommend a tall narrow piece on either side an no bench.

So, you could use shelves as you show above, but a longer, narrower version.

Yes, I would use the same on both sides.

These might be interesting for either side of the large window. You could fill them with faux succulents in the summer and add holiday decor in the winter. They seem to be around the correct size.

There doesn't apear to be enough room. The wall with the smaller window? How much horizontal space is there on either side of the window?

You don't need to have something on every wall.

Those are a possibility for the dining wall. I presume you mean that you'd use some planks on both sides?

You'd have to decide drapes or no drapes first. I also recommend you finalize the table and chairs first. That will dictate what art you choose.

Yes, I'd cover the whole wall with the planks. For the time being, my preference is no curtains for now.

I think you have a lot of possibilities for decor. My recommendation is to first look for inspiration photos that you like, second find a table and chairs and third add decor.

CDR Design : I love the idea of the sunbursts you suggested for my dining area. However, if I put 3 sunbursts on one side of the window, what would I put on the other side?
PRO
CDR Design, LLC

Less is more. Keep design clean and simple.

I know starbursts have been used a lot, but they are a classic that will always be around. Of course, you could use any other mirror or even art. Make sure it complements whatever chandelier you buy.

I would hang starbursts on both sides of the large window. For a more minimalist look, all of the starbursts would be the same, as in the "Rustic Chic" photo I posted above.

For a more eclectic look, buy a combination of styles, but similar sizes and hang 3 on both sides.

I'd leave the smaller window wall and the slider door with no art.

Then, I'd hang perhaps one piece of tall, narrow art on the wall by the kitchen pantry.

This is the one room where you could, as Simon Ashley suggested above, paint an alternate color. I would paint it a couple of shades darker than your current wall paint. Wait until you get the dining set and you could pull a color from there. Just an option.

That is a beautiful color.....goes well with the floor. I normally recommend choosing a paint color last. You'll just have to make sure your new table and chairs works with the color.

It would be nice to repeat this color somewhere else in the space. Is there an inset in the living area where is can be repeated?

It's the color on both sides of the fireplace. (second pic is just to give you an idea of the location of the living room in comparison to the kitchen)... keep in mind that the living room isn't complete either yet...

Overall, I think the repeating the darker grey is a fantastic idea. However, I think it would look better with the fireplace surround in the darker color and the adjacent walls in the lighter tone.

You may have plans for built-ins on the side of the fireplace? In that case, I'd paint the entire wall the darker color and add white built-ins.

Yes, we have plans for stone/tile for the fireplace and built-ins for both sides (haven't yet determined what they'll be). what do you think of the stone/tile we have in mind? (color is more grey than beige... doesn't come out great in the picture)

At first glance, it appears a little busy and I am not a fan of a small stoned area, when a tv is the highlight.

I'd spend the money on the built-ins. What is the sectioned-off area to the right. Is that for tv equipment?

I styled a game room for a clients teenage sons. We went with a genuine cow hide rug. If hides get dirty, all you have to do is take it outside and hose it down!!;) perfect with kids and it goes with your rustic chic look! Another option for the seating around the table would be to use either a wooden or upholstered bench on the side closest to the kitchen. With kids a wooden bench would probably be the best option.;). Again, it would go with your rustic chic look. I personally like using different seating around the table...I get bored with everything the same. Of course that's just my preference. :) from the picture I noticed barstools. That's what made me think of a bench. That is a lot of legs...ha!! Plus it would kinda break up all the chairs so close together.

Bamboo blinds are another option with some fabulous drapes. I have pinch pleat, off white linen drapes with a good liner in my dining/eating area and I will never get tired of them!! When I change things up (which happens all the time) they go with everything. The contrast with the bamboo and the linen is timeless and also a very stunning look!!:) As for each side of the window, I would paint and get drapes chosen first. You have a beautiful home!! I can't wait to see the finished product!!

cement tile would be pretty around your fireplace...I would also add a wooden mantel. I sent this picture just to give you the idea of what I was talking about. Cement tile comes in light gray, black and white, as well as other colors. I have not read all of the comments. If I repeated something someone else said, I am sorry!!:)

I now see that the sectioned off area is actually a hall. So, the current layout you have is a good one. You could switch out the sofa and the recliners, depending on which you prefer to face the tv.

One other thought.....if you ever want a larger tv and you really don't need the storage room for built-ins, you could consider removing the bump-out from the top (tv area) and making that flush with the walls. Or you could drywall in the recessed area and make the entire wall flat.

Finally, you could increase the size of the tv/fireplace area any amount you want horizontally from just a little to all the way across.

This would cost less than built-ins. Then, a stone wall would make more sense as a feature.
