My Dinning Room Makeover

zuesel

Old dinning room really needed a facelift! I wanted a fresh brighter look thus white was the first to come to mind. But that will be too plain won't it? So texture was the key!

We ordered the wall panels and DIY the entire backdrop of where the table will sit. I've chosen this pattern and installed spot lights to cast dramatic shadows for a different ambiance.

I've changed the curtains to blinds with similar pattern to the featured wall.

I designed a custom made Live-edged table (Will be on a separate post) that is functional yet, transitional to the wall and the living room next to the dinning room.

New chandelier and a decorative wall clock to complete the new look!

I have a wallpaper man but wall panel is a very new thing. I haven't come across anyone who's confident to do it. Since it would be new to them, so we might as well do our own.

Like my husband and most of my clients, it's not their bowl of rice to design or envision colors, furniture, the big picture. Many opt for "safe" beige for everything! ;p!
It's great that you are a handyman. You save a lot and have a more opened mind!
I PM'd you.

I have enough things to vacuum, I don't want to dust the wall too.

    There's always some kind of trade off. To some, practicality is more important than beauty and comfort. The more mirrors, paintings, decorations at more equals to more dusting.
With regards to the wall flats I have, according to my cleaning lady, takes 2 minutes once/mo with a swiffer. She enjoys it more than having to wipe the walls with a wet cloth.
