For the best dining experience, use warm hues on the wall that are muted or shaded. Red, orange and gold colors help stimulate the appetite and, when toned-down, are excellent color choices for dining room walls. Red will need a little help from yellow to be a toned-down muted shade. Rich red walls, bold fabrics, dramatic wall decor and dark wood furnishings create a designer look, but you don't have to paint the walls red to have a red dining room. You can create your red theme with selective wall decor, dinnerware, table linens, decorative accessories and floral. Your dining room should look as if it's a natural extension of the rest of your home. Continue color and style themes used in adjoining rooms. More Decorating w/Red |

| MIRRORS AND CANDLELIGHT IN A DINING ROOM MAKE OVER | ||
|
DINING ROOM DECOR Decorating Ideas for Mirrors and Candlelight When decorating a dining room, consider ambience and mood. The role played by candlelight and the mirrors to reflect that candlelight are fundamental to dining room design. The dining room is a room that handles unique mirror styles. The main purpose of the mirror is to bounce light around the room rather than fully reflecting a person's image. Reflected candlelight is mysterious and romantic. Reflected candlelight can originate on the dining room wall but it can also be reflected from a sideboard or the dining room table. Consider placing a long narrow mirror under your centerpiece candles and see your dining experience become special and unique. Casual candle holders enhance a room's decor and in the dining room, candle holders can be wall sconces, long narrow styles for the table, tall tabletop candle holders and large glass hurricanes.

DINING ROOM DECOR Dining Room Design and Remodel If you are designing a new home or you are in the planning stages of a remodel, consider opening up the dining room to other rooms in your entertaining areas. Large ironwork will separate the dining area and at the same time leave it open to view. In the picture left, the homeowner removed two walls of the dining room and built arches between the kitchen side and the foyer side that leads to the great room. Placed inside one of the arches is our Entrada wall decor arch. The ironwork defines the foyer and at the same time allows the dining room to be viewed from other entertaining spaces within the home.
