Dining room colors

il y a 10 ans

My husband really wants more color on our walls, in particular red in the DR. I fear it will be too dark. We have a white chair rail. Can I paint white below the rail and red on top? I don't have wainscoting which I love but can't do at this time? All trim is white. TIA

Red is popular for DRs since it stimulates the appetite and conversation! But, it can be a difficult color to work with. I have seen people paint the white below the chair rail and use narrow frames to mimic panels...you could probably find an DIY instruction online. It would give it more dimension.

Yup. You could also paint one wall red, or all walls red, or the ceiling red.

Thanks, indeed. A rug would be an option, but our 2 small kids eat like pigs... This option is for later :0) Does anybody have an idea that fits our minimalistic style? We are not fan of "busy" spaces. Is there any technical solution? Sth we could stick under the table or a trick, magical plants perhaps?

Le placard de la salle de bain est une très bonne idée, cela vous fait du rangement mais aussi permet de cacher d'autres éléments comme le linge salle, j'avoue j'aime bien tout caché afin de laisser l'espace vide et un volume simple. Comme je le dis toujours, mon œil se fatigue vite alors moins il y a de choses différentes et mieux je me porte ;) Ne vous inquiétez pas, j'aime courir et ça me fait de la lecture et c'est surtout vous qui courez dans tous les sens, car je lis les autres groupes de questions que vous avez ouvert et je trouve ça bien que vous ayez plusieurs personnes différentes pour chaque espace de votre appartement et franchement ça va rendre et je pense que l'on a tous hâte de voir le résultat (addition) final, même si vous êtes au canada. J'ai compris pour les tuyaux, c'est très clair et il va falloir que l'on trouve quelque chose pour lui donner de la valeur malgré tout et je suis sur que l'on peut en faire un vrai éléments structurant. J'avais pensé à une bibliothèque qui peut être d'un côté un buffet salle à manger et une bibliothèque côté salon ... je dois encore réfléchir et je donnerais mon avis sur le bon forum.

Helpful Kitchen Interior Design Tips

Helpful interior design tips, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating! Everyone knows that proper nutrition is the key to a healthy and active life, but not everyone realizes how our eating habits are sometimes interrelated with the space in which we cook and eat our food. We'd like to share the top 5 practical advices from the personal experience of the Space Feeling interior design team, to combine practicality and beauty, leading to a healthy eating. COLOR AND SHADES We want to turn your attention to shades. If you want to eat less, repaint the dining room in your favorite color but in its cold shade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold shades of any colors will oppress the appetite, warm and dark shades, on the contrary, will awaken it. White is the most versatile and comfortable color, for good reason it has become the main color of Scandinavian design. HOME PLANTS Potted plants not only give comfort and more air to our homes. The presence of a large number of home plants in the interior of the kitchen also encourages us to eat and cook green food, and this is mainly greens, vegetables and fruits, olive oil. If you don’t like plants — wallpapers with all sorts of palm and tropical prints will come to help you. The atmosphere they bring will make you not only eat well, but also feel at home like in an oasis! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE LIGHT When you plan the kitchen space, try to place the table and working area closer to the window, in addition add lamps, pendants and wall lamps there too, the more, the better. We tend to eat 25–30% more food in darker rooms than we do in better lit kitchens or dining rooms. The more light is present in meal areas, the more responsible we are with our meals! “CLOSED” KITCHEN FURNITURE When planning or ordering furniture, make the kitchen cabinets more closed. We could eat 20% of food simply because it comes into our eyes. Therefore, hide all less healthy food in cabinets, and “promote” fruits, vegetables and water by giving them a central, very visible position in your kitchen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEAN AND TIDY Keep the kitchen and dining table clean. When you are in a messy out-of-control place, it gives you an excuse to pay less attention to your eating habits. Try to take away leftovers to the refrigerator and closed cabinets immediately after eating, the chaos on the table after a meal also inclines us to overeat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hope these tips will help you enhance your kitchen space and promote healthy eating!

Wall art idea needed
Q

Hello Velvet Ninja You seem concerned with that one wall. I'm not trying to criticize, the space seems new, with quality materials and well-lit, but have you also noticed the other big white walls? and ceiling? Why just the wall with the mirror? You've got a majority of white, a good dose of black, some chrome / stainless steel details and an uninterrupted shiny pale wood floor. It's relatively astonishing that you have a white door and only one white window, but the other window is black? Everything is relativement anonymous, nice, but nothing too ground-breaking. Is this a rental or your own home? Are you sure that just some art on that one wall will make it cozy and beautiful? Have you thought about any window treatments? Store venetien? Rideaux? Store bateaux? Any type of rug under the dining table? A rug called Bolon, made of woven vinyl fibers, easily cleaned ant anti-allergy. Is the mirror not on the axis of the table on purpose? And why a dark wood? It adds to the "window types", a black one, a white one and the wooden mirror one... Some more information would be helpful. good luck, Lynn

I side strongly with your husband. All decorating decisions should be able to be justified so here are mine. Most likely if you have a traditional dining room you have a room full of medium to dark furniture. A warmer red will be much more flattering to the dark wood and because the furniture blends better with it the room will look bigger. Paint the area below the chair rail the same as the upper wall, never a different color. Why, Because dividing the wall into contrasting sections makes the room look short and choppy. Also Visually lighter color on the bottom does not look strong enough to carry the visual "weight" of the top color and feels uncomfortable. As far as the dining room becoming dark, the darker room will be more dramatic. Dining rooms are not meant to be lit for close or detailed work. They are meant to be lit by candle light . Also dining rooms are where we often display some of our most precious items. China, Silver, Crystal and serving pieces show up much better in a dramatic space. If your husband and I win, unless you have a very bid dining room, I would eliminate the white woodwork and paint it a warmer tanish color that will blend better with the dramatic wall color. Your Chandelier should have shaded bulbs. Bare bulbs in a dining room when turned up bright enough to be useful make a harsh cold glare. Turned down low enough to not be glare y and harsh you are left with a red wire running through a useless bulb. If you have a server Two nice buffet lamps can help with the lighting. Finally if you do take my advice, when you have people for dinner don't spoil the atmosphere with a white table cloth. Use something that is close to the wall color. Good Luck Bill Gantt

So here is the best picture of my dining room that I can provide. You can see I have a little bump out. My furniture is a golden oak and the floor will be changing to a pretty dark wood. I know some people really don't like the 2 tone walls but I still need to be convinced that all red will work. If I did paint white below the chair rail can I do that without adding the wall boxes? Do I just use regular white paint? Thanks, I really appreciate the input.

I have an album in my idea book called Dining in Red. There are several photos that may help you in you decision. I would go with a darker red. Kachi brown red and white are always good together. Hope the pictures help.
