These are the curtains I want for my dining room (of course they don't have the length I need). I don't know what colors to paint the walls. (We have crown moulding and a chair rail, so I'm thinking two toned.) Mr. Incredible tells me to decorate as my heart desires. Until he sees my curtain selection.
I'm a bit on edge about this whole ordeal because my Mother in Law is coming on Friday to paint the dining room. I have to choose by Friday. Help me you design savvy people! Help! Opinions on curtains, colors, decor! helllllppp meeeeee
booya google. i destroyed you and now i will do as i please
i like those gold toned curtains if you are thinking about painting the room a peacock blue. heck, they would even work with grey if you wanted. you already have a more casual breakfast nook and since your dining room furniture is a bit more on the formal side (relaxed formal ;) i would go with a curtain like that...it dresses up the room a bit.
ReplyDeletei was thinking maybe the peacock blue (or something similar) on the bottom and a dark grey on the top. but i'm a total visual person aka im going to be sampling paints on my walls all week. i don't know if that would be too dark for the dining room... ahhhhhhhh
ReplyDeletewell its a small dining room so you might want to stay away from making it too dark so it doesn't feel closed in. i have repainted almost every room in this house twice, sometimes even 3 times, and the one thing i have learned is, spend the money, buy a quart of the color you are thinking and try it out on a big piece of wall and see how it looks with the natural lighting and at nighttime. its worth the extra $, saves you time painting the room a color you hate and is the only way to really get a feel for it. have you seen liz's house yet? totally inspires me to do some different things ;)
ReplyDeletethat is way too open ended for someone who needs to have her dining room chosen by FRIDAY. !
ReplyDeletewelp, you've been thinking about that blue for awhile so just do it!
