Dining room solutions ~ House Design

Dining room solutions - hi..Home Design,The house is a sanctuary for all that occupies. Every spot within the house is required to service each family member. A father needs a comfortable workplace, a mother also needs an efficient kitchen and a pleasant children's room.With these considerations we give an idea of Dining room solutionsThe proper selection of the house is the key to determining how well the inhabitants reside in their palaces. No matter how vast it is important to be at home

In January during a blackout our pipes broke resulting in water damage to a number of rooms in our home. What was a bit of a disaster turned into a positive for me because it finally got me moving to do something about one of my biggest decorating problems. That would be my dining room.... See my complaints in this post . It's quite a list.

Too much of a good thing

This is how it all looked in early 2000 .....

Wood, wood and more wood

Problem lines

Wood everywhere isn't the only problem. Note the all the horizontal lines from the buffets to the railing, a light hung too high and a window that has a view of the window next door. Below is my first attempt to solve some of the highlighted problems.

A different orientation solves some problems

Rearrange and add

I liked the changes and that satisfied me for a short time. The new light was a good height and the roundness worked well against all the rectangles. I also added longer (very temporary and too short) drapes to break some of the horizontal lines. I moved the art work from the living room to dining room, and created some height and brightness on the dining table. Still seriously problematic in my book because I did nothing to alleviate the wood issue, but it was improved but sorely lacking pizazz.

Enter 2014...

The power of paint and fabric

One of the cheapest updates you can make to any space is to paint something. I don't care if it is furniture, accessories or walls, it works every time. Since we had to repaint all the walls (BM Glacier white) I continued on to paint quite a few things which I will reveal over the next several posts.

Bringing it into 2014

To break up the wood and the set, I was determined to sell all the dining chairs and buy new ones. I still don't know how I got hubby to agree to selling 8 hand made solid ash chairs because they were too matched. He was probably fed up listening to complaints!

After an extensive search, I realized the chairs that looked best with the table were the ones my husband made for it. I don't like sets, but in this case I had to concede. So ... after much discussion with sister and daughter and varying opinions, I found a fabric I loved and then choose spray paint to work with it.

I would like to say that cleaning and spray painting 8 chairs was exciting. Not so.... But I got to use my favourite motif (circles) and my favourite colour gray. What could be better! Part 2 coming soon... new problems and solutions. Hint: Look at the vignettes on the buffet and table.

Such is the discussion of Dining room solutions,that I can share on this occasion, hopefully it can help you find a suitable home design.
