Fresh Dining Room Decorating Ideas - Part 2

Color Splash

Create an eye-popping dining set that oozes contemporary coolness by pairing a white table with colorful chairs. This small seating area uses the classic silhouette of a Saarinen-look table to anchor a set of four flea market chairs. Updated with glossy green paint and patterned fabric, the chairs exude a modern attitude.

Slim & Sensational

Without arms to take up space, slipper chairs are a smart pick for a tight squeeze. In this dining zone, white canvas slipcovers relax the chairs while providing a crisp, chic appearance. A striped rug delivers bright bands of subtle color underfoot, and a prism-style chandelier hangs with contemporary panache above.

Larger Than Life

Enhance the presence of average-size windows by framing them with floor-to-ceiling drapery panels. Boldly patterned panels give this dining room a modern edge that's echoed by wicker chairs dipped in a cheerful lipstick red. A neutral sisal rug underfoot keeps the scheme from feeling overpowering.

Shape Up

Make sitting down to eat a fun affair by incorporating playful shapes, colors, and motifs into your design. A banquette seat covered in orange vinyl plays off sunny walls in this breakfast spot. The rounded backs of classic Eames chairs repeat the curves of the banquette, while a dandelion-esque chandelier is reflected in the glossy white fiberglass table.

Fresh Dining Room Decorating Ideas

Use strong, simple silhouettes to provide the foundation for streamlined eating spaces that deliver high-style and easy-to-live-with maintenance.

Add a Little Spice

As an epicenter for entertaining family and friends, a dining room is the perfect place to strike up a lively conversation between color and pattern. A delicate tone-on-tone leaf motif, a pair of screen paintings, and fretwork-back chairs, reminiscent of detailing commonly found in Oriental architecture, lend this dining room a dramatic Asian flair. The high color contrast between the orange walls and the black picture frames is echoed by the style contrast between the zebra-print rug and the room's Asian-inspired elements.

Bench Basics

Break free from the expected by adding a bench or two to the mix of seating pieces that surround a dining table. This setup uses backless, slipcovered benches to maintain a low, streamlined profile. The machine-washable slipcovers make cleaning up spills a cinch, and the long benches are a great way to squeeze in a few extra diners when necessary. A large canvas that's painted a striking chartreuse adds a modern edge to the fireplace and is an easy do-it-yourself art project.

Slide In
Replicate the cozy ambiance of a restaurant booth in elegant fashion without the need for built-ins by sliding two tall-back love seats up to a table. Covered in a graphic geometric print, these matching pieces are as comfortable hosting morning coffee as they are a sophisticated dinner party.

Ready to Shine

Make a dramatic statement with your choice of light fixture. An oversize shade sporting a solid (or patterned) fabric is a no-fail way to add modern pizzazz to even the humblest of dining areas. In this eating area a bold, boxy black shade converted with a hanging kit from a home center creates showstopping style on a budget.

Cozy Reading Corner

Add a comfortable reading chair to a corner of the room to create a cozy reading nook. The solid, soft beige upholstered chair quietly claims this area of the bedroom for that purpose, while the gray ceramic stool nearby echoes the Asian styling of the sideboard. A two-tone blue art piece above the chair adds to the peaceful feeling. If you're more likely to curl up with a gadget than a paperback, make sure there's an electrical socket nearby for easy charging.

Decorative Draperies

Use smaller patterns on large pieces of fabric when you're trying to incorporate them into an already pattern-heavy space. The goldenrod drapery panels work in this bedroom because the small-scale geometric trellis pattern reads like a solid from across the room and doesn't fight with the space's other prints.

Area Rug Addition

Liven up wall-to-wall beige carpeting by layering on an area rug. This geometric rug placed under the bed adds contemporary personality to the room and introduces lively texture. The design picks up the room's key colors, linking them together in single pattern that unites the various warm and cool hues.

Nightstand Disguise

Bedside tables don't need to match to make a room feel put together. A 32-inch dresser from the homeowner's previous home works perfectly as a bedside table here. It's the ideal height for access from the bed, and it adds storage to the room. The richly colored wood draws on the color of the accent pillows and complements the room's overall palette. Matching clear lamps placed on both bedside tables create harmony.

Easy Artwork Addition

Artwork gives this yellow master bedroom an opportunity to expand beyond a tonal color palette and also adds pattern and texture. Here, modest-size pieces form a grid to fill the space over the sideboard. Wide mats help the prints' colors pop and make it easy to turn graphic patterned paper into budget-friendly pieces of art. Plus, the white mats and frames coordinate with the white metal birdcage-like lamps.

Mix-and-Match Furniture

To keep a bedroom from looking stuffy, play around with mixing and matching furniture styles. White lamps atop the black-lacquered sideboard add modern flair to this classic-looking piece. The golden tones of the drawer and door hardware link this dark piece to the room's golden palette.

Organized Storage

Use bins and boxes in an open nightstand to corral odd-shape items into an appealing assembly. Here, knitting supplies feel like a part of the decor thanks to the attractive dark wooden bin and the yarn colors that happen to coordinate with the rest of the room. The slanted shelf above the bin sports leftover wallpaper to help the unit blend into the room.

Neutral Lighting

A clear lamp with a natural burlap shade brings light into the room without adding bulkiness. The see-through base lets the wallpaper behind it take the spotlight. The lamp's coarse shade and jute trim add roughness that contrasts with the smooth and shiny glass base, contributing to the room's overall mix of interesting textures.

Warming Accent Pillows

On the bed, these chocolate brown and orange accent pillows offer deeper colors that offset the room's predominantly yellow palette. Their simple floral motif echoes the pattern on the bedspread and pillows but incorporates a larger-scale version that emphasizes the high-contrast colors.

Yellow Bedroom Makeover

Sunshine Glow

A much-needed makeover took this master bedroom in a newly constructed apartment complex from lackluster to bright and sunny. The room gets a kick from a comfortable and warm tone-on-tone color palette of golden yellow, ivory, and beige that also incorporates playful textures. Adding patterned wallpaper to just the wall behind the headboard creates a budget-friendly focal point for the room's most prominent wall.

Boring Before

Before the makeover, this boring, cookie-cutter master bedroom was the room with the least visual appeal in the apartment. Luckily, that also meant it had the most potential. The plain vanilla 12x14-foot room presented the perfect canvas for letting loose with paint, wallpaper, and textiles. The result is a comfortable yet vivacious space that feels bigger thanks to creative use of color, texture, and pattern.

Double-Duty Bookshelf

Getting creative with the bedside table helped this bedroom make the most of its limited square footage. This 30-inch-high bookshelf creates a bedside landing spot and offers lower-level storage for books and hobby materials. Thanks to its open shelves, the unit doesn't add bulkiness like a chest of drawers would.

Grab & Go

A corkboard hung above the painted dresser offers easy-access storage space for jewelry and other small items. To re-create the look, simply purchase corkboard and a frame from a crafts store. Cover the corkboard with pretty scrapbook paper and place it in the frame.

Function Is Key

A dark wood desk repeats the sleek lines and simple styling of the headboard. Repetition is a key element of design, as it makes a contrasting element look intentional. Located right next to the bed, the desk doubles as a bedside table, instantly giving the small bedroom more useful surfaces. A mirror hung above the desk reflects light streaming in from the nearby window, which helps visually expand the look of the space.

 Natural Decor

A terrarium on top of the desk makes a nod to the bedroom’s nature-inspired motif. Make your own using a large store-bought glass vase and filling it with dirt, small rocks, and leafy greens. Here, the homeowner wrote her son’s name on one of the rocks to add a more personal touch.

A Bedroom Makeover in Green

See how nature-inspired decor transformed this bland space into a relaxing and stylish green bedroom.

Go Green

Leafy ferns, shades of green, and other natural elements provided the inspiration for this master bedroom makeover. A spring green palette with accents of cream and warm wood, plus a bit of purple for fun, gives the room a breath of fresh air. Painting the walls two shades of green, separated at chair-rail height, creates interest in a room that lacks additional architectural personality. The trim was also whitewashed, which adds to the light and bright look.

Layers of Style

The dark wooden headboard is balanced with mixed and matched layers of comfy bedding. Combining crisp white sheets with a botanical-inspired duvet and pretty brown matelasse comforter gives the bed a casual feel.

Sit for a Spell

Small-scale furniture provides function that the bedroom previously lacked, without taking up much space. Here, a small chair placed in one corner of the room creates a dainty reading nook. The merlot-colored throw on the chair lends pop of contrast to the mostly green bedroom.

Store-bought white curtains were given a wake-up call with a band of colorful patterned fabric. The shift between fabrics in the curtains lines up precisely with the shift in wall colors. Adding a band of fabric to the bottom of plain purchased curtains is a quick and easy update; plus, it's a smart way to adjust curtain length without the expense of customized treatments.

Stylish Storage

Located conveniently close to both the reading nook and the bed, this painted unit now offers storage space for a variety of items. Cabinet doors were removed in favor of open storage; the space is now filled with books and storage baskets of scarves and accessories. A pair of shelves hung above the unit provides display space for nature prints, small plants, and family photos.

Elegant Illusion

For a fanciful flourish, paint your own trompe l'oeil headboard. This handcrafted beauty mimics the ornate scrolls of a wrought-iron version without any hard edges to impede peaceful slumber. Not an artist? No problem. This look was created with a two-layered stencil. Look for stencils like this one at your local crafts or hobby store.

Perfectly Padded

For a new take on an upholstered headboard, hang a bench cushion by its ties from wall-mounted hooks. Top the hooks with a piece of over-door molding, which you can find at a home center. To create a tufted look, sew covered buttons to the cushion with ribbon, poking both ends through the bottom of the cushion. Pull the ends tight and tie.

Letter Perfect

Create an alphabet headboard from letters found at crafts stores or flea markets. Choose a variety of letters, sizes, and fonts for an interesting display. Arrange letters graphically or spell out words.

Naturally Modern

Make this ultramodern headboard in an hour. Buy a piece of plywood from your local home supply store. Sand it, stain it, seal it, then set it behind your bed. The clean lines will help you sleep in style.

Spreading the Word

Make a bold statement with a headboard created from a curtain panel. Use fabric markers of different thicknesses or colors to write favorite quotes, poems, or lyrics on the panel. Hang the creation from a curtain rod using clip rings.

Rustic Influence

Two single window panels are the perfect alternative to an ordinary headboard. To get this look, find windows that measure approximately the width of your mattress. Remove the glass and install fiberboard or thin plywood over the back for safety. Cut fabric to fit each section and secure it in place with spray adhesive.

Shabby Chic

In place of a headboard, a salvaged mantel gives this bedroom architectural flair. The more distressed the better for a vintage look like this.

Painted Florals

Upgrade a plain wooden headboard with paint. First, sand all surfaces and coat with a water-base sealer. Using a household trim brush, base-coat the entire headboard with white satin paint. Next, apply a stripe-and-dot border. For the flower, download the pattern below, transfer onto the headboard, and paint.

Smart Stencil

Love the look of wrought-iron headboards, but not the price? Get the look without the cost by painting one on your wall. Find a stencil at a local crafts store or make your own. Cut the stencil from acetate with a crafts knife, affix the stencil to the wall using a spray adhesive or low-tack tape, and apply paint inside the stencil. Use acrylic paint or specially formulated stenciling cream.

Chic Screen

Cozy up your bedroom by unfolding a fireplace screen and hanging it on the wall behind your bed as a headboard. For an antique look, spray paint the screen in desired color. After it’s dry, dip a sponge in bronze paint and wipe a light coat on the spray-painted screen. Repeat with copper paint. Finish with a clear spray-on sealant.

Door-Turned-Headboard

A solid pine door is the perfect way to make a bold statement with a headboard. Cut 15 inches off the bottom of the door. Paint the door and let dry. Mount the door to the wall about 4 inches above the floor using two brackets. Reinforce with one bracket on top. To hide the top bracket, use finishing nails to attach a piece of molding to its top edge 1 inch above the door. Fill holes with wood filler, sand, and paint.

Window of Opportunity

Create an elegant headboard like this one by spraying two shutters with two coats of primer and two coats of metallic paint, then finishing with two coats of sealant. Allow the shutters to dry between coats. Measure the inside of each panel and cut fabric to fit each opening, adding 1/2 inch on all sides. Place thick batting inside the panel to cover the entire area. Cover with a piece of fabric. Secure the corners and the edges by stapling to the panel. Hot-glue ribbon to hide the raw edges. Repeat for each panel.
