Katie’s Family Room and Dining

Katie is a friend that is ready for a re-vamp of her family room and dining area. Her family spends a lot of time in their family room where the lighting has been pretty bad so she was hoping for some ideas to lighten everything up. Here are the pictures that she sent me:

This is the design board that I created for her:

The rug is a lighter color with white grays and camel colors in it. I like the idea of painting the wood above your fireplace white and you could also white wash the brick/stone around it. I think you could keep the chairs you already have. It would be cute to get a textured ottoman like the one I have pictured. A round black metal mirror would look good above the fireplace and you could also do a glass/black metal end table. I included a faux tree in your design because it would be great to add greenery. Also, white curtains would really brighten up the room.

It seems like you have the space that you could maybe do a round table. I would also add white curtains on those windows that are in that area that would match the curtains in your family room. I went with a neutral woven rug for under the table. I think a gray/natural wood table would look great highlighted with some black dining chairs. It’s amazing how just adding a rug really grounds the room and can pull everything together.
