Wall faces my dining room, will this look odd??
We are in the process of finalizing our floor plan for our new home. It is a custom modular home. My question is...There is a wall in between the foyer & living room, it's suppose to be a 7' archway. When in the dining room, it appears to be facing exactly where the table will be (in center of room) will this look odd??? Is it possible to maybe connect the wall from living/kitchen to foyer with another archway?? Maybe use decorative moldings?? I am not a designer and cannot visualize how it will look. I appreciate your input~

Comments (33)If you want custom cream panelling built from scratch, it is likely to take you more than three weeks to line up a contractor, get it built and then painted. If you want to use beadboard (thin, lightweight, cheap) you can do it yourself if you are good at the small precision cuts around the wood window trim and behind the radiators. You can get a custom built wood cover with doors for your tv or use the painting over tv disguise made with hinges. I think the room is beautiful as it is. Spend some money on a truly beautiful, impressive chandelier, have it centered over the table. If you want to impress relatives at an event, the chandelier is the way to go. Clean the windows for extra sparkle. If you are in the US, try Home Decorators http://www.homedecorators.com for DVD storage cabinets that are closed. I would not get a rug for this room unless I was ready to get it cleaned frequently and I could find one that looked good with dog hair on it and did not show stains. A good quality, highly patterned wool Oriental rug will do that job nicely. Such a rug is an investment and may take longer than three weeks to find....See Morecolour for dining room??
Comments (1)It appears to be a dark room. Lightening it up may satisfy your husband. No real reason every room in your house has to be grey; however if that is what your prefer....... Wallpaper maybe a very good choice for this room - a print with gray in it as well as white & pops of other colour to lighten & brighten the room. Changing the light fixture to something brighter & lighter looking would also do a lot to lighten up the balance of the room. Check out sites like: www.muralsyourway.com, as well as the Idea books on wallpaper on Houzz site....See MoreHi there , looking at house with north east facing garden, has anyone

Comments (15)We just painted a color called "Latte" over the dark red walls in our place and we keep thinking that someone left the light on! It adds that much light to the place as the red was just sucking out any light in the place. Find a color you like more for that wall and repaint...and/or maybe add a ceramic tile backsplash? It will make it feel brighter in there immediately as you will get a lot of light reflection. I love the idea of sage green with your cabinets....See More

7 years agoI wouldn’t mind seeing a dining table and beautiful chandelier. What I don’t like is seeing the kitchen from the living room.
I would extend that interor wall so it goes at least to the end of the island.
That is also one huge pantry which is taking up some of the dining space.
Stair case…walls on both sides will make it very dark. Looks like a support wall, but I would like to see it open to the hall.

Here is a re-worked plan. My main concern is this particular area. I am thinking that wall to the left of the foyer will look odd from the dining area??
