Dining Room Makeover with The Home Depot

Dining Room Makeover- at my friend’s home

I helped my friends with refreshing their dining space. They moved halfway across the world to live in Houston! They were living in an apartment in Singapore and brought all the furniture with them, but in a Texas home, everything feels smaller. I wanted to help them with their space since moving in itself is overwhelming! 

Dining Room makeover- The Before

Here are a few photos of the space before – it’s a well-lit beautiful space that just needed a refresh. 

Dining Room Makeover- What I like about this space: 

●The wainscoting

●White walls 

●Beautiful black sideboard they got from Singapore! 

What I planned to change: 

●The dining table – the current dining table is small for this space, and they want to be able to host more people here. We got an extendable table just to keep it flexible.

●Pendant light – Again, the current light is small for this space. I wanted a more linear light that’s proportionate for the new table. It also needs to make a statement since this is the first room you see when you walk in! 

●Chairs- since this is a room and not a big open space, I wanted shorter profile chairs, as that would make the space feel more open as opposed to 8 tall chairs. 

●Add a mirror/art to anchor the black sideboard. 

●Address the side wall and change the current art to something that will fill up the space but not look too crowded. Also, I’ll add a tall faux tree to balance the space. 

My friends were skeptical of wallpaper but decided to try it. (Spoiler alert – they love it!)  I usually prefer the whole room wrapped in wallpaper, but love the alternative of just having an accent wall. It gives the room some pattern and interest without it being overwhelming, and I’m really happy with how this turned out! 

Here is what the space looks like now- 

I hope you found this helpful if you are making over your own dining space. I’m so glad I could help my friends with this space with products from homedepot.com/decor. They are so happy with how it turned out and that’s the best part for me! Let me know what you think! XO
