What You'll Hear on This Episode:Hi Gabriella,
The hosts understand your struggle with the dining room's current setup. Stephanie offers some creative solutions to enhance the space’s aesthetic and functionality.
Stephanie begins by recommending a new rug, suggesting that a larger, well-fitted rug can instantly make the room feel more expansive and cohesive. She advises selecting a rug made of wool for easy maintenance, especially considering the dining room’s usage.
For the dining set, Stephanie suggests a round table slightly larger than your current one to comfortably accommodate six chairs instead of four. This change could improve both the functionality and flow of the dining area.
Stylistically, Stephanie encourages incorporating texture through your seating choices. Consider options like chairs with textured or patterned upholstery to add depth. A high-gloss finish on the table could provide a striking contrast and complement your existing mural and hutch.
Moreover, she suggests adding a tall, collected item such as an antique vase to the table to create a focal point, balancing the room's visual interest.
We hope these tips inspire a fresh and inviting atmosphere for your dining space. Best of luck with your redesign!
