I have been trying to figure out what to do with our dining room for a LONG time now. I can easily decorate a room from SCRATCH but when you need to add things to create a space, then I’m clueless. We bought this table right after we got married and then bought the chairs and bench a couple years later to host Thanksgiving. It was an impulse buy, and while I like them, they just aren’t my style. Farmhouse, pottery barn-ish, yes, but modern or boho or vintage or scandinavian, not so much. So, I’ve been contemplating selling and starting over OR trying to work with it.
I’m really inspired by modern boho.. I love blush, black, white, fur, lots of texture and layers, but I also love clean looking, well styled spaces. Below is the dining room with an added rug and fur throw. Then the second photo, I added black velvet curtains. The third one I added a black mirror (still can’t decide how I feel about it though). And the last photo is another idea of where I could take this.
I think the chalkboard would be fun to put photos on with washi tape or to write quotes for holidays or gatherings. It could be too much though? Also, still considering table scape… minimal? Planters? Black or white vases? I’ll let you know how it turns out! It could be completely different next week haha!
I linked the exact decor and here is some other similar items:
