conservatory/dining room

I am in the process of redecorating my dining room with a shabby chic decor in mind. I would like to paint the table, chairs and bookcase white and distress it however my husband prefers wood in its natural state. I have bought new roman blinds in duck egg blue with a white and ivory print, I am struggling to decide how to dress the table to match. I will de- clutter the bookcase and am considering putting a console table next to it. I am also considering putting either a shelf or picture above it. Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.

    Hi Karen. I saw your post and thought that you might consider using either placemats or a classic table runner to style the dinner table.You can see some of what I have in mind in our Houzz project here (scroll down to the placemats and table runners). They are all made from recycled leather and thus have a natural, simple and durable texture. Best of luck :)

    Hi Linddna, Thank you for reading my post and suggesting s lovely idea. I did think of a white linen table cloth with a patterened duck egg table runner, but I love the fact that the one that you suggested has a natural, simple texture.

    Hi Karen,

    two things immediately came to mind when I saw your images. Firstly, I would leave the table as it is, by painting it in a conservatory where there can be a lot of light can fade the paint in different places on the table over time. Have you thought of maybe just changing the chairs for an chic-er look. Maybe various shapes and colours sourced from your local tip or second hand store? You could maybe have a set of white wooden chairs sourced from IKEA for example.

    Also, the corner where there is a tin of paint, I would move your Yukka into that space instead. It looks too cramped on the right hand side.

    Again with the table, I would leave it bare ( less is more in a conservatory, due to fading and the fact the you don't have much space to play with) . I would place three glass jars on your table with a little sand in the bottom of each and a church candle.

    Finally, the piece de la resistance the lighting. You could change that for a real statement piece which would look amazing and bring everything together.

    There are some amazing chandeliers out there that are also very inexpensive.

    Good luck with your design.
