Ask Maria: How Do I Style my Dining Room Built-ins?

David Jiminez

Nowadays I believed we’d have a very little styling lesson simply because when all else fails and you just can’t paint since the beautifying-other-regions-of-your-residence-checklist is lengthy, add-ons are what you will need to distract the eye from colors you really don’t like. Ok here’s the concern from 1 of my elegant audience:

“These constructed ins ended up in our household when we procured it. The storage is great nonetheless I’m getting the most complicated time making an attempt to “style” them. Hubby says I can not paint them (I will just one working day no matter, but I have Bigger mountains to climb correct now)
I surely need to have lamps!!!!
Although with the higher cabinets put in, the clearance is less than 17”. I experimented with a mini lamp but it appears so sad! What sort of lamps would look “right” in this article?”

We undoubtedly want some styling to distract the eye from the pink beige tile and inexperienced grey cabinets. Due to the fact the builder laminate countertop will normally make this millwork look like it is element of the kitchen area and in no way like it belongs in a dining home, the initial notion I could possibly test, is fake finishing or even just portray it the exact color  as the dining desk. Immediately after all, this will not be a intensely employed countertop so that could do the job.

The lamp is the proper concept but we have to have a a little bit greater one particular.  We could also add some white material here with white dishes very similar to this inspiration photo (below).

If you want styling inspiration for this buffet, David Jiminez Studio feed is a good area to seem:

We have to have some faux flowers, a pedestal bowl with faux lemons, a serving plate and/or a compact piece of artwork propped up versus the backsplash.

The coffee station in my studio required some really like, in addition to that there is a damaged piece in the window body (this window was recycled from a different undertaking). 

I propped up a piece of artwork to cover the body, extra a tray with mugs and other things, and a lamp (of course) and a few other equipment I experienced close to the property (under).

My artichoke lap was turquoise and it didn’t match any more so I spray painted it gold.

I really like my sheer roman shades, they filter just the correct quantity of gentle.

Styling doesn’t conclusion with the lamp but that is undoubtedly a great commence! Hope this inspires you to make that location incredible!
