{ Dining Room DIY Dish-Up }

One of the easiest and fastest ways to change the look of a room is to change the colours. This is a great reason to invest in neutral pieces when big-ticket items such as dining table sets are purchased. This will allow you to do a weekend makeover, like the below sample, with more ease.

It’s not always easy to incorporate colour. When in doubt, go with what you LOVE. I usually start by making a folder of images, fabrics, and paint chips which appeal to me. Then I lay out all the images and look for similar themes and colours. Most of the time an obvious pattern emerges.

With new paint colours and a couple key accessory purchases, an entirely new look can be achieved. As an example, a simple dining room makeover can usually be done in a weekend.

Here’s my virtual DIY makeover to inspire you. Hopefully you’ll be so inspired by this that you’ll embark on a real-life makeover this weekend!
