COMMON INTERIOR DESIGN MISTAKES + How to Fix Them | Dining Room Dos and Don'ts

This video is all about common design mistakes I see made in the dining room and how to fix them. While the kitchen is the heart of the home, the dining room is that fun gathering space where
conversations can last for hours over a hearty meal and endless wine. It’s the place where you convene with your family after a long day to dish and catch up. Memories are made here and family time cherished.

Even though it’s the dining space, that doesn’t mean you can’t inject your style and personality into the room. The color choices you make, the patterns you love, the finishes you gravitate towards, the shape and style of the furnishings are all opportunities to get creative with the design. Avoid making these common dining room design mistakes to enjoy it for years to come.

Yes on the wood stains! Also, wallpaper when and where to use them. Sources and who to find to install them. Thanks!

[bcfriardoyle]

Favorite colors with wood stains, YES PLEASE! 💖🦩 And mixing wood tones, especially at the dining table: chairs to table.

[zeerobles]

Definitely would like to see what paint colors compliment different color woods. We just purchased a dining table for our house that’s being built. I just love ALL of your videos! Thank you!

[simonmckenzie]

my fiance thinks your house is a mistake, but shes silent when i beautifully decorate our house on your advice and videos, best interior designer on youtube, no haters

After doing the math accounting for 36” from each nearest wall, that leaves me with a 2 inch square dining table. Sweet.

[lucas]

YES for the paint - woodstain color matching !

[tracy]

Hi Julie, love your channel. Can you do a segment for living/dining room combination?

[brigitteboudreault]

My 1-hr virtual consultation with you was awesome! It was eye-opening to get your designer’s view on our dining room dilemmas! I love that you can adapt to any space and style. I didn’t have time to implement all your suggestions and ideas yet, but I’m getting there 😊 Thanks again for a great experience!

[Amira_Phoenix]

Definitely would like a video about wood+colour combinations, great idea 👍

[colleensaunders]

Please offer your tips on how to style a dining area when it is part of the living room as in a condo. Older style apartments that have a long narrow room that is living on one end and dining on the other. I not only have this but have small 8’x11’ covered outdoor terrace off the dining area. I love the space but struggling to find a coherent design style for the space.

I think if I tell my brother 'but Julie says' one more time he will scream 😂

[myrahogan]

I'm really enjoying your content. It's also nice to listen to an grown woman, rather than a giggly 30-something (female or male) acting like a 13-year-old girl. Thanks for the great tips and the gorgeous pictures. My home is a very simple mid-century (1959) ranch--which I love-- but it's fun to see some of the more opulent spaces for ideas.

[juliezeit]

great video, love it! Yes would love to see paint-woodstain color matching! Thank you!

[merrywalsh]

I held my breath, waiting to see if I made any of the design mistakes. I got out my tape measure and rechecked my clearances. In the end, I checked all the correct boxes except the focal wall, but only because I have yet to find the work of art I want there. Excellent video Julie. Mahalo from Maui 🌸🌈

[KayKay-yyrq]

Yes, we need a color matching with wood video. I have cherry wood floors and it took me 2-3 months of color sampling before committing. I needed the wall color to not only complement the floor but also the fixture, the room doors, my furniture and the hallway walls for that complementary transition.

[DCUPtoejuice]

Your advice is absolutely incredible. I don't think anyone is coming close to this level of helpfulness.

[cheyennesutton]

Julie! This is one of my favorite videos! I rent my apartment, and I lowered my dining room overhead light while watching this video. My dining area looks so much better! Thank you!

[Deepa]

Any critic who gives a solution...is worth a million🙏

[lisacalhoun]

This was enlightening for me!! Thank you for making these principals accessible for those of us not skilled in design.

[sarayu]

Can't wait for you to make the video on choosing paint to match wood stain. This was so educational!
