Dining Room Design Boards

I’ve changed my dining room by switching rugs and artwork but keeping the same furniture! Check out these design boards.

Three 3 Dining Room Design Boards with art and rug changes.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed when Aaron installed the new moulding in our dining room. I’ll sharing a post soon on how easily it was to install but first I’ve been itchy to redecorate my dining room.

I decided to play around with some new artwork and rugs to give the room a new feel with some design boards.

First, you might be confused that I said design board instead of mood board. I think mood board is the general term that gets used most often when sharing a room design or fashion look it’s not a mood board at all.

What is a mood board?

A mood board displays inspiration images that can include colors, nature images, people, products to evoke a mood.

What is a design board?

A design board is a board that displays actual images of products that are going to be used in a room such as paint colors and furnishings.

Without changing my current furniture, here are three design boards I’ve created for my dining room.

design Board 1

Sample board or mood board of dining room.

current sources:

I used my same dining table, Mora clock, similar chairs, chandelier and faux olive tree. I also added the beautiful black pot with greenery to the table.

These black and white art pieces are modern yet go with any style. Pairing it with this gorgeous rug and mirror gives the room a stylish, old world charm.

design Board 2

I changed the art, mirrors and rug again. I’ve considered these art pieces long and hard and still don’t know if they are too modern for me? What do you think?

    I love Sample Board 3 – especially the artwork! Are they prints of watercolors? I love the colors. Stay safe! Claudia

    I love your art work choices! I’m trying to figure out the paint color you used behind your artwork.
    Love your site!

      Thank you, Janet! The walls in my dining room are white, Simply White by Benjamin Moore but was considering painting the area inside the moulding a light grey. I’m not sure the exact paint color yet.

    Loving Board Three and to answer Claudia for you, those wonderful artworks look like the original was done in pastels.

    I love your ideas…option 1 is safe and option 3 provides more color. I think option 2 is too modern for space. It will look fabulous…whatever you choose.

    I’d go with the mirror from #1 with the artwork #3 . Colorful plus that mirror would make the whole room…☺️. Yes, please do more!

    I like number 3 but might try artwork from #1. Or number 1 with rug from #3.
    Great to see different options. Bottom line, go with your heart and gut.

    I love everything about board number one. I think it’s really beautiful and I especially like how the rug pulls it all together.

    I like 1 & 3. Both area rugs are good. Love the nudes in 1 and like the artwork in 3, but the artwork in 3 is too similar to each other – almost looks like the same thing, wish they were more different. Just my opinion.

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
