Need help with "rustic elegant" dining room!

We are trying for a "Rustic elegant" décor. We need to get a new dining room light-currently we have a lovely 90s bright gold color! Any ideas? We are also going to put up curtains on the bay windows. I was thinking like a burlap or linen? Here are a few pictures of the room and one of the adjacent kitchen. We recently put up the pendant lights in brushed nickel. We like the style of these! We also just purchased the lighting fixture of the informal dining room that is also brushed nickel (both seen in the last picture). We have painted the walls the colors we like. We will also be putting down a dark brown laminate floor in all rooms. We are able to do a few changes in all rooms. Ideas welcome!

I also think a table runner would be a nice touch:

質問の投稿者10年前Oh, I really like the first table runner! Thank you. I am trying to avoid the grommet top curtains but I'm glad you also like the idea of a linen colored curtain in there. Would you recommend using a rod that is made for bay windows? Or 3 separate rods?Sorted Affairs Home Staging
10年前Hello - I would like to see larger more colorful art and a punchier rug - can still be rustic but needs more color. Also, a larger centerpiece such as a big bowl with felted balls, or a few hurricane vases with different items in them. Need to add more color.angolson17さんはSorted Affairs Home Stagingさんにお礼を言いましたBickford Construction Corporation
10年前You might want to add crown molding and a substantial base molding, 6" high. Molding really defines the space adds interest and elegance. You might consider 3 separate roman shades instead of curtains because of the limitations of the bay window. Good luck, looking good so far!angolson17さんはBickford Construction Corporationさんにお礼を言いましたangolson17
質問の投稿者10年前Well, we just purchased the rug, so I think that will have to stay :) What colors do you think we could try to add? Maybe in the curtains? Maybe pull more of the black out in accessories?angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前最終更新:10年前Perfect, we were also thinking a large base molding once the floor is put down! Our window casing is currently oak, so we were thinking dark stained brown to match the floor. We have lumber in our backyard and are planning to mill it ourselves!Sorted Affairs Home Staging
10年前Adding some reds or golds, but really, the green walls are fairly neutral so what colors do you like? Add those in moderation. Adding black will not give it the punch you need to really make the room shine. You have a great start with the table and the rug can work if you glam up the rest of the room. BTW, I think the crown molding is a terrific idea.angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前I think that is one of our main problems... we like brown and green (A LOT!) and we are not really sure how to accent it correctly. Do you have any pictures to help us visualize? We do like gold and mustard. Not sure about red...angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前Here is a better picture of the rug. I found a RED table runner--I think it is too bright red but thought I would share.hayleydaniels
10年前I love your green walls! Mine are a similar color, and they add so much warmth and charm to my house I wish I'd done it years ago. Love your dog too--she looks like she wonders what on earth you're doing :)
I have a few thoughts for you as I'm very into a more rustic look as well.
For curtains, if you sew, you could make some simple curtains out of painters drop clothes. I made some for my bedroom, and am very pleased at what a rustic look they add to the room. I made them with a ruffle on top, and a simple casing for the curtain rod to go through. If you decide to do this, wash them drop clothes in very hot water first to soften them up, and then you're very soft and nice.
Secondly, I would change out the chandelier, and go with something more rustic in oiled bronze. Here's one I think would add to the rustic look and feel you're after:

With your trim, I would go with a wider board. You might also look into something like panel doors in knotty alder or pine as they is very rustic. That's what we're doing, and love the look of it.angolson17さんはhayleydanielsさんにお礼を言いましたangolson17
質問の投稿者10年前I LOVE the drop cloth curtain idea. I have been having a hard time finding curtains tall enough for the space that are not super expensive. We were thinking about doing a barn door instead of the pocket door to the kitchen, at some point.
Do you think the oiled bronze chandelier would look okay with the brushed nickel in the kitchen and informal dining? What do you guys think about this lighting fixture? http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1319051&categoryId=cat1701013 There is nickel and bronze finishes available.hayleydaniels
10年前I think it's fine to have different finishes on different things when they aren't right next to each other. It's part of what gives a home it's 'funk' so to speak. It adds the warmth and charm of an older home where things have been collected over time, and it isn't matchy-match.
That light fixture strikes me as very elegant even though it's basic. Your dining room is elegant so it would look fine.decoenthusiaste
10年前I like the chandelier, but you'll need more "rustic" in your room. I'd slipcover the dining chairs in a tea stained green cabin check cotton fabric. Add a pair of these rustic and iron candle sconces on that end wall with new, more appropriate, art. The wall opposite the window could use a mirror to draw the light across the space.Sydney Weathered Rustic Wood Plank Iron Hurricane Candle Sconce · 詳細Reclaimed Sand Mold Framed Mirror · 詳細Natural Teak Root Mirror · 詳細angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前I think I am starting to get it! :) I think we will do bronze in there for the fixture!
Do you guys think we should do a "picture" wall on the Eiffel tower wall instead? If so, would any of these things work? I also have some vintage cameras that I was thinking of getting some shelves for an putting up somewhere. Thank you all for the great ideas and comments!
(Love the side board idea and styling and the dog picture!)Design Mode
10年前Love your vintage camera idea. Showcase those. The silver clock could go with the camera collection on a shelf.
Of your pictures, I like the botanicals (paint the frames black or pewter).
You could have a few rustic picture rails, along with some of the other black and white frames with your personal pictures. I also like the sunburst mini-mirror. The colours of the two brilliant abstract pieces throw off the scheme.

10年前For some reason, your room seemed to be calling for blue to go with the lovely olive walls. And it wanted a round chandelier to break up the angles. And some grain sack roman shades for a bit of softness.angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前I do have a large world map-vintage. It's not framed or anything thing but it is large. I can't seem to find it right now to take a picture but it mainly blue in color. I also have some blue Mason jars (the new "vintage" ones).
If I did a picture rail on the far wall, do you think I should do one rail or two?angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前Thanks for liking the green! We love it as well. Do you think maybe moving the Eiffel tower picture over to the right, and then doing a cluster of pictures on far wall? Or a display of the vintage cameras? I have 4 of them (see picture). I included the clock as Design Mode suggested putting them together. The boxes can be used or not. I do not have any shelves right now so open to any ideas regarding clustering with pictures or pieces.flair lighting
10年前these work great for the rustic look but a little modern flair....(if you will :) )rinked

10年前I would gather your cameras, the clock, the map and even throw the Eiffel tower back in because they all connect to the theme of travel. Play with them until you have a pleasing arrangement on the smaller wall.
I suggested a shelf because I like to rotate things - but I like groveraxle's grouping too.
I like the Interlocking Circles Chandelier above, mainly because I haven't seen it before, and it offers the antique brassy metalic.
I love olive green with accents of tangerine, tomato red, butter yellow, cream, eggplant - basically food colours!angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前For the chandelier, should we go round or rectangular? I do like the idea of antique brassy metallic.groveraxle
10年前Wrong on the blue? No, I may have the wrong blue, but I still think it wants blue. What I AM wrong on is the light. The Dixon Beat pendant is perfect for this space, but it's not very big, so it will probably require two.angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前For the big wall that currently has the large Eiffel picture on it, what about these arrangements? (Sorry about the floor, I just arranged them quickly).decoenthusiaste
10年前Too much! Try just one item, like that large green-toned piece in the last picture flanked by a pair of rustic candle sconces. No clocks please, unless you're timing dinner and want guests to leave early!angolson17
質問の投稿者10年前Ha! Love it! I was just trying to show options of pieces I already have. The only grouping I kind of like is the first one that is symmetrical. Does anyone see anything in these pieces that they think I could use for that wall or the other wall? Should the other wall just have the current picture moved to it like groveraxel has shown? I'm not sure about the lights groveraxel-those might be a little too modern from my husband. He likes timeless elegance, which I agree with, since I'm not the best at design :) I'm trying though!essentials inside

10年前最終更新:10年前May I suggest a 8+ light white deer antler chandelier; bottom width should be about 2/3rd the width of the table and the distance between the table and lowest part of the chandelier should be a minimum 30" vertical ( so when your guests stand, they don't stab themselves in the face.)

10年前I can't really tell the scale of the objects you're arranging on the floor, but those little square mirrors could go away. They don't add anything of interest. A grouping of vintage photographs would be good.
I think the Dixon Beat Pendants are timeless elegance incarnate. But then, I am a fan of simplicity and think a lamp should light and not have a lot of curlicues and dangly things.
Rustic elegance to me says simple, maybe a bit tarnished, saved and cherished (like your vintage cameras). I think you've made a good start, and this will be a beautiful room if you remember to curate carefully and make it a space for special things.angolson17さんはgroveraxleさんにお礼を言いましたLowes of Indian Land, SC
10年前I would install (2) chandeliers over the table. Side board on the back wall with two mirrors over it. Find an antique mirror or glass serving tray to place on the sideboard with with varying size glass containers. You can fill the containers seasonally with various items to change up the look. On one end of the sideboard place a larger arrangement of flowers. I have attached some fixtures from one of Lowes websites with some inspiration fixtures.Lowes of Indian Land, SC
