| WALL ART DECOR AND LIGHT FIXTURE UPDATE FOR A GOLDEN YELLOW DINING ROOM | ||
| DINING ROOM DECOR - Decorating Ideas for Wall Art Decor It's all about texture, color and theme when you decorate a room. When decorating your dining room, consider the centuries old European tradition of using artwork and wall tapestry to decorate important rooms in your home. Update your home decor with wall art and wall tapestry from our framed print and large tapestry selection. Add vivid color, soft texture and casual art themes to your dining room decor. The golden yellow dining room, shown in the top picture to the right, lacks balance and harmony. The dining room's wall decor and light fixture appear insignificant. Both the artwork and the fixture are lost in the room due to size, color or texture and neither the light fixture, nor the wall art decor, reflects the architecture of the dining room. Small changes can make a big difference and in our first dining room makeover we chose bold and dramatic accessories to bring a designer's touch to this gold dining room. Accessories with bold simplicity, textural contrast and earthy colors enhance our dining room theme. First we changed the outdated light fixture to a scrolled iron pendant light fixture that compliments the color in the dining room table and the scrolls of iron compliment the arched window and door. Continuing to focus on architectural style, we chose a Mediterranean theme wall tapestry for a finishing touch. Wall tapestry and scrolled iron are natural compliments to Mediterranean style architecture as well as the gold wall color and the rich wood tones found in the dining room table and chairs. Simple flowing lines and detail to scale create balance and harmony within the newly decorated room. In the second dining room makeover, the designer opts for smaller artwork and chooses bold prints in which the subject is easily seen from all points of the dining room. Urns and vessels, used by ancient civilizations to store and transport food, are the subject of the prints and for this reason the wall art theme is especially appropriate for the room's purpose. To bring the wall art to scale, an arched wrought iron topper and a vertical piece of iron enlarge, join and define the wall art display. The scrolled iron is complimentary to the yellow wall color, the light fixture and the arch in the window and door. The orange floral arrangement adds color to the room and provides a third spot of greenery (decorating in 3's). It anchors the artwork to the sideboard below and it brings out the rust colors in the wall art as well as in the room's furniture. READ MORE ABOUT SELECTING ARTWORK FOR LARGE AND SMALL ROOMS. |

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 |

| Decorating Ideas for Mirrors and Candlelight | ||
|
DINING ROOM DECOR: Mirrors and Candlelight in the Dining Room 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.
