]]>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

]]>It will be fun to take you along how I designed a blank canvas to a cozy guest bedroom! Would you believe everything in the room is from Home Depot (except for the art and some small thrifted pieces)? I was honestly surprised to find such a good mix of pieces. You know I’m not a fan of matchy furniture, so I’m loving how this turned out!
Picture Before:
Picture After:
Home depot is a place I check for deals on high end looking pieces for a great price.
You’d not guess the price of this stunning bed frame. And it looks even better in
person!
Use contrasts to make a room look more lively
When putting together a room, my number one tip to making it look high-end is to mix
and match pieces and not get a “matching set” – matching bed, nightstands, dresser etc.
It makes a room look dated and not very interesting!
What I’ve done here is, using pieces that compliment rather than match! For eg: Your
instinct would be to get a dark dresser that matches the nightstand, but the light dresser
really elevates the space and brings in an interesting design element. I especially love
the ring pulls on the dresser – details matter!
When styling a dresser –
Incorporate pieces of varying heights play with scale like large
lamp, vase, layer art of different heights. Use books to layer and add height to smaller
pieces of decor.
Get creative and mix patterns
Mixing patterns is another way to make a space look elevated. I used quite a few
geometric patterns – plaid (accent chair), gingham(curtain), stripe (bedsheets),
diamond(rug) and mixed in a floral quilt to break up all the lines!
A tried-and-true formula to design a room – try to incorporate geometric pattern,
floral/organic patterns and pops of solid colors.
Add a cozy spot
A chair in a corner makes for a cozy spot to read. Make it a nice “moment” by adding a
floor lamp, a small pedestal table and some art.
I hope these tips are helpful when you design your bedroom!
