Darling Dining Room Makeovers

October 15, 2015

Dining Room Makeovers Rumi Neely Fashion Toast
Fresh apartment dining room in Los Angeles simply and beautifully made over.

Dining room makeovers are the topic of the day.  I love a good room before and after.  Here are four dining rooms that got easy refreshers to make them more stylish and inviting.  Two started with a blank slate and had to build from there…while the other two were a redecoration of an existing space.

Redecorating doesn’t mean you have to make a total overhaul.  Here are three quick things you can do to make your dining space look entirely different:

  1. Changing out dining chairs can be a huge makeover in and of itself.  If you have traditional chairs go with modern or if you have an ultra modern dining space mix in a few Louis style chairs to soften the look.
  2. Change the main light fixture.  A chandelier or pendant light swap out is a huge statement that doesn’t have to cost too much.
  3. Swap around your art.  Pull another piece of art from somewhere else in your house and put in your dining room

I think the dining room below from Kristi Bender and Wendy Schwartz of Cuff Home best illustrates these tips.  A few years back, I did a post on this dining room.  Imagine my surprise when I ran across the pictures of the redesigned space. Same dining room, same rug, same table, same wall color but the dining room makeover with a few bold changes make all of the difference!  I love the bulls eye art work on the wall!

𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑: This Left Bank apartment was redesigned 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑: This Left Bank apartment was redesigned around a dialogue between Asian lacquerwork, Italian furniture, and Orientalist references, all brought together by burgundy, aged brass, and dark walnut.
Low light. Lacquered walls. A kitchen wrapped in hand-patinated brass. An antique mirrored bath with painted bamboo panels. A bedroom in floor-to-ceiling leopard print that somehow feels calm. Maximalism that whispers.
Save this one for the next time someone tells you maximalism can’t be serene. 🖤
