Vibrant Red Living/Dining Room

A living/dining room combo goes from dull to dramatic with an infusion of vibrant red.

Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-1505 -- More Projects »
Danielle Willard just moved into her first home. She loves all the space, especially the open living/dining room, but she's stumped about what to do next. She wants the room to have a richer, more colorful look. The Design on a Dime team sets out to turn this lackluster room into a bold, vibrant space for entertaining.

The Dilemma
The open living/dining room combination has a lot of appealing architectural details such as crown molding, chair rail in the dining area, a fireplace and hardwood floors. The bamboo window shades are not consistent with Willard's style and do not provide enough privacy. They will need to be replaced, as will the mismatched occasional tables in the living room. The brown leather sofa is new, but additional seating is needed for entertaining.
