Just got new dining room furniture - now I need advice on what to do to the room. The beige color paint needs to stay cause it goes into my living room. Maybe painting wood trim white. I need advice and suggestions!! Thanks in advance!

I agree about the colour below the chair rail, maybe paint it a couple of shades darker than the upper section. I would paint out all the wood trim and the corner cabinet. A nice colourful area rug would help warm up the room. Hope this helps.

Can you paint the wall under the chair rail? I think it should be the same as the top.

Yes, as long as I can find the paint in the garage. But, yes I can do that.

I Love the brick opening to your dining room with the arch. It is so unique!

The trim doesn't all have to be the same color. Consider painting either the baseboard trim or the ceiling trim a color similar to the really dark tone that appears on some of your brick. Before you paint walls, consider removing the chair rail altogether. It's doing nothing for the room except breaking up the space and making it feel narrower than it is. Chair rail looks best in traditional rooms that are symmetric in shape.

Love the brick in your DR! So if you want to keep the red, I would do something a little more fresh. A light rug would look great to break up some of the wood and a plant will add some life to the room.

Hi! I love your new dining room table and chairs! Love the brick wall as well! I just think the room need more life, light to feel fresh and new. Paint trim and cabinet white, remove chair rail or paint it a more contemporary "grayge", drapery panels in pattern or organic fabric. In terms of accessories: consider a large vase instead of lamp on side board, one larger mirror instead of the two smaller ones, and a longer center piece for the table or three in different heights. Lastly I imagine from the picture you like warm colors but try to add a small hint of cool to balance the room. Happy decorating!

Wow, great bones, this room is well on the way to being a stunner!

I would remove the chair rail and remove everything hanging from the walls.

To balance the brick wall, change the drapery to a fabric that has more weight to it. The rod needs to be mounted much higher. No art needed on this wall.

Look for a ceiling fixture that is longer for your longer table, or two separate chandeliers.

One wider and taller art piece over your buffet. If you want lamps you need a pair, see the photos for scale.

When you decide on the decor scheme, paint out the inset wall cabinet to match the wall. If you paint the trim to white, look for warmer whites because of the brick.
