Turning a Dining Room from Drab to Fab

by 1 Comment

Drab to Fab – Unfortunately, dining rooms are often neglected in the home when it comes to interior design. Perhaps it’s because they’re only used for a few hours a day, maybe they don’t get used at all! Either way, many dining rooms need a facelift. Thankfully, it’s easy to turn a drab space into what feels like a 5-star restaurant! With a few quirky accessories and simple swaps, you can create a stylish and comfortable dining space.

Turning a Dining Room from Drab to Fab – Paint the Walls

Staring at plain white walls is incredibly dull. Staring at walls that are overly dressed is distracting. Painting your walls a subtle yet warm colour can make any dining room feel welcoming. Subtle colours are best as they’re easier on the eye compared to harsh, bright colours. Plus, warm, neutral colours such as stone, grey and beige are currently in fashion, and they’re colours that compliment any design.

You may also want to consider painting one wall or parts of a wall in different colours to add more of a feature. One painted wall can make for a great feature, or perhaps the walls can be painted in a darker colour, like navy, to halfway. This can add depth to a room and make it more inviting.

When you’re committing to a feature wall, remember the other surfaces that anchor the room — especially doors. Many homeowners choose pre finished interior doors because they arrive with factory-applied finishes that match popular paint tones and save the hassle of onsite painting. That consistency in finish helps the accent wall read as intentional rather than accidental, and it reduces dust and disruption during a refresh. Local suppliers also often provide delivery and optional installation, which can be a real time-saver when coordinating a dining room update.

Turning a Dining Room from Drab to Fab – Consider Wall Art

One of the simplest ways to transform a room is to add some sort of wall art. You can hang large prints to cover bigger spaces, or a collection of smaller prints can be used instead. For a dining room that feels homely, family portraits and vacations photos are a great addition. For a dining room that embraces a restaurant aesthetic, something simpler may be more suitable. Perhaps simple line drawings or scenic landscape pictures.
Alternatively, neon signs from Neon Mama would also be a great addition. You can instantly brighten a dining room with a neon sign as well as make it fun. Most neon signs can be customised so they can say anything you want. Some people like to make up their own restaurant names and turn their dining rooms into their own restaurant. Others may like something simpler, perhaps along the lines of ‘Let’s eat’. Plus, a Custom Neon Sign can come in various colours, which means they’re great for any colour scheme.

Turning a Dining Room from Drab to Fab – Update your Crockery

Just like anything else, crockery styles can go out of fashion. When eating off drab crockery, the dining experience can be tainted. To avoid that, switch it up! Classic white crockery always pleases, but there are plenty of other options too. There are plenty of colours, designs, and materials to choose from. It may only be a small change, but it will undoubtedly make a big difference.
Additionally, if you leave the plates on the dining room table for decorative purposes, you want them to look great. Often, you will be able to find plates and such to match your décor, so not only will they be functional, but they can make for great accessories too.

Turning a Dining Room from Drab to Fab – Update Tablecloths

Similarly to crockery, tablecloths go out of fashion too. Not to mention, they stain pretty easily if they’re made from cotton, silk, or any other soft fabric. Switching out a drab tablecloth is a great way to revamp a dining room. If you’ve opted for neutral tones throughout the dining room, you may want to find a tablecloth with a similar colour palette but with perhaps a pattern or a print on it. This adds texture to the room and can break up different tones.
You may even want to ditch a tablecloth and opt for wipeable placemats and a table runner. They’re far easier to maintain and can be styled in numerous ways. Plus, if you have a beautiful dining room table, you won’t want to cover it up. There are plenty of ways to dress a table with a simple runner! Sometimes, the smallest accessories make the biggest impacts.
