   Home : Q&A : Dining Room : Changing the look of my dining room

Name: Fay Knight Title of Question: Changing the look of my dining room Question: How can I change my now formal dining roomd to a casual/relaxing area. Post Your Answer To The Question Above: Name: Your Answer: Name: decor42 | Date: January 30, 2007, 2:28 am | Answer: One way to downplay a specific style is to use a plain colored tablecloth. If you utilize your hutch to hold a dish colloection then downplay this area as well. I would either remove the dishes and save them for formal gatherings, then replace them with something casual or intermix some casul pieces to the hutch along with your formal dishes. Also, changing out your curtains may help. If money is a concern then changing all of your artwork and accessories is not an option right now. Therefore, consider painting them in a less formal color.
