Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
Glamorous Modern Living & Dining Room Remodel
Decorilla Designer: Jessica S. | Client: Richard
Overall Budget:
$26,000
Project Title:
Glamorous Modern Living & Dining Room Remodel
Project Description:
We moved in October 2023 and the Formal Living Room and Dining Rooms are empty. We just addressed the family room with TV, INCANTO sofa and 2 INCANTO swivel chairs (wall art included in this project which we will address later).
We want a modern/glamorous look for both the formal LR and the DR.
$26,000 is a number. But if there are pieces which are a bit more expensive please feel free to throw it out to us for review.
We painted the entire walls Cream Froth from Benjamin Moore. If you decide the dining room wall should be a different color to make it "WOW" then put the design together so we may see. Not every room has to be the same color but the formal LR has 18 foot ceiling so we will stick to the color in that room. Its a nice neutral color. Plus the Roman Shades are new and custom made. They will stay as well.

Additional comments to designers:
We will be attaching pictures from online sites so you can gauge what we like. Also, $14,000 is a number. If there's something Glamorous or Modern that you feel is "WOW" and its a bit more expensive then throw it out so I may review with my wife. As per your recommendations, the formal will most likely need a rug covering most of area to bring all the colors and furniture look together. (the light brown wood is too light).
Also! We have a 3 year old and a 1 year old!! Thought you may want to know when selecting items for review :-)

Additional comments to designers:
We purchased the house in October 2023, and we just designed the family room 80%. (TV, INCANTO Leather Sofa and 2 INCANTO swivel chairs and a small center rug. We will get to the wall art later after we are done with Formal Living Room and Dining Room.
Would like 10 seats around the table if possible. 4 on each side and 1 on each end. Lighting would like to be amazing! The chandelier in the foyer entrance is from ZENDUCE (which I never knew about and they have VERY nice stuff... just FYI and incredibly affordable.. the entrance foyer lighting rocks cost me $1,500)
Based on the room size I would like your opinion on 10 seats; and also should there be a serving credenza against the long wall? or smaller credenzas on either side of the kitchen entrance wall. You're the expert. I really want it to look amazing. My apartment in NYC had a 12 foot blue velvet sofa designed by Mauricio Aguirre. Just to give you an idea.
We will be attaching pictures from online sites so you can gauge what we like. Also, $12,000 is a number for the dining room. If there's something Glamorous or Modern that you feel is "WOW" and its a bit more expensive then throw it out so I may review with my wife. (including lighting etc....).
