I’ve changed my dining room by switching rugs and artwork but keeping the same furniture! Check out these design boards.
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
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?
design board 3
This board adds more color to the room which I also really like.
Which design board is your favorite? Would you like to see more of these from me?

I love Sample Board 3 – especially the artwork! Are they prints of watercolors? I love the colors. Stay safe! Claudia
Aren’t they gorgeous! It’s artwork from Minted!
Hugs, Jamie
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.
Hugs, Jamie
Loving Board Three and to answer Claudia for you, those wonderful artworks look like the original was done in pastels.
So gorgeous, aren’t they?
Hugs, Jamie
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.
Thanks Joanna!

I like #3. It’s all about the color for me.
Thanks Sue!
Hugs, Jamie
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!
That would look so pretty, Suzanne!
Hugs, Jamie
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 don’t think I could go wrong with that combo!
Hugs, Jamie
I’m down with #1. I love the sketches!
Thank you!
Hugs, Jamie
I love everything about board number one. I think it’s really beautiful and I especially like how the rug pulls it all together.
Thanks Debbie!

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.
