Transform Your Dining Room
Dining Room Upgrades Worth Doing Before Your Holiday Dinner
Planning to host Thanksgiving or a holiday dinner this year? A few smart updates to your dining room can make the space feel fresh, festive, and ready for guests — without requiring a full remodel.
Whether you’re serving turkey for twelve or simply gathering with a few friends, here are some high-impact upgrades that can transform your dining room just in time for the holidays.
1. A Fresh Coat of Paint Sets the Stage
New paint is one of the easiest ways to elevate the feel of a room. Whether you want a crisp white backdrop, a warm neutral, or a dramatic jewel tone for added mood — paint can do it all. Consider repainting not just the walls, but also trim, crown molding, or even the ceiling for a complete refresh.
We can help with color consulting, prep, and perfect execution — all with minimal disruption to your home.
2. Add or Update Decorative Trim
Nothing says “elegant dining room” like beautiful trim work. Wainscoting, chair rail, crown molding, or picture-frame trim can add texture and sophistication without changing the footprint of the room.
If your existing trim is scuffed or outdated, we can repaint or replace it to give the space a cleaner, more polished look.rs.
3. Upgrade the Lighting
The right lighting makes your dinner look better — and your guests, too. If your current fixture feels dated or dim, consider a simple swap to a chandelier, pendant, or modern statement light.
Want to go a step further? Add dimmers or sconces to control the ambiance and create a restaurant-quality glow for holiday meals.
4. Repair and Refresh Problem Spots
Walls and ceilings take a beating over time. If your dining room has old nail pops, cracks, water spots, or mismatched paint touch-ups, now is a great time to fix them. A clean, seamless wall sets the tone for the entire space — especially when guests are looking around while they eat.
5. Make a Statement with an Accent Wall
An accent wall behind the dining table can add drama and warmth without repainting the entire room. Deep greens, navy blues, and rich burgundy tones are popular choices this season — and they work beautifully with wood tones and metallics.
We can help you create the perfect focal point, whether it’s with paint, wallpaper, or even wood paneling.
