Dining Room - Renovation

Dining Room Makeover

My clients are busy professionals raising small kids- catch the Lego's on the table. In re-working the space-I hope to bring them the more elegant, glamorous adult feel they crave and begin to take back the space.

The room greets you just off the foyer- not unlike most of our dining rooms - setting an important tone for the rest of the home.

It has great bones - 14 x 16 space and a 6x6 centered transom window allowing lots of natural light

Challenges -

3 entrances - all different widths

Ceiling- has a groovy spin art pattern

Current 2 toned walls and chair rail - give the room a wide and squat feel

Only 1 light source

Plan

• Add new sconces and chandelier
• Smooth the ceiling
• Replace hardwood with a wider and darker plank
• Add floor to ceiling wall paneling - painted - with attention to vertical design to stretch the heigth
• Build out door openings to have a column effect with pediment headers on Foyer side
