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!

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
