How to Renovate Your Drab Dining Room

Dining rooms sometimes get forgotten about when people buy a new home. Everyone wants to design the inside of their new home to reflect their own styles and preferences. But sometimes, when we are overwhelmed with spaces that need decorating & designing, rooms (like the dining room) get put on the decorating back burner because we tend to focus on the other rooms where we spend more time.

Also, by the time we finish decorating all those other rooms, the budget may be lower than we expected, so the dining room gets accessorized with the little that is left over in the design budget. But your dining room does not have to suffer with last in the decorating line.

CertaPro Painters can help you keep your budget on track. We offer very reasonable projects for all types of budgets so you can get all your new rooms painted, even the dining room. This will give you an awesome canvas for all your new decor and designs.

More ideas about designing a fabulous dining room

In addition to painting the perfect canvas, here are some good ideas for creating a dining room that is suited just for you and is also an inviting space for company. All of these suggestions are budget-friendly too.

An accent wall with color

While CertaPro is painting, why not have them create an accent wall to add a pop of color to your dining space.  Paint is inexpensive, easy to apply, and easily changed if you change your mind. Why not use bold tones for one of the walls to add depth to the room. It also allows you to choose a color you love and build your color palette for the room around it.

CertaPro’s color consultants are happy to help you pick out the perfect colors for any interior or exterior project.

Use Dramatic Lighting

Experts say, “Lighting is one of the most crucial elements in the dining room design.” It is also a great way to display your own style. Do you absolutely love big, chandelier-type twinkle lighting? Go for it. There are so many different affordable options at big box & home improvement stores now. Or you could shop around at thrift stores to find an option to bring back to life yourself. Then you get bragging rights when you give tours of your newly designed dining room.

You could add sconce wall lighting. Or if you have a fondness for neon signs, why not hang up a few small or a giant one in your dining room? Or you can go farmhouse style and add a mantle, and a chair rail. It’s all according to your preferences. Take advantage! Show off your style.

Use Artwork You Love

This is another great design freebie. You can use whatever artwork sets your heart on fire. This is also a very budget-friendly option because you can go the DIY route. Order prints online and mount them with your favorite frame picks from online or hobby stores.

This is also a way to support your favorite local artist. Or you could use your dining room walls to display photos of family members & friends. A great photo wall makes for great family dinner conversations.

Add Luxurious Extras Like an Extra Large Area Rug

Everyone loves a beautiful oversized area rug. It can really change the look and feel of your room. It can make cold hardwood floors feel cozy and comfortable. You can find great area rug options at many online home decor websites.

These are just a few paint & design suggestions for those who are struggling with drab dining room decor. Just a few key changes or added elements can make your dining room look stylish and brand new.
