Help Decorating Burgundy Dining Room

By Tammy (Guest Post)

I'm buying a two toned dining set in distressed black/brown wood. Would burgundy be too dark a color for the walls with the dark table? I'm thinking about just painting one accent wall burgundy and the others a toupe neutral.

I don't know what to do with my walls. They are very empty and I want them to look fuller but also fancy and posh! Help!

I just finished painting one wall in my bedroom a rich burgundy. I'm using a light sage green on my other walls. On the burgundy wall I'm using a large antique mirror with lantern scons and greenery.

Use of gold accents is great also cherry wood, for busy walls always use pictures with large matting

What style are you going for, elegant, modern, something else? The first two suggestions sound great for an elegant look. My sister in law did those colors and went Victorian. It is a busy style but if you have a lot of "things" this works well. Go into an upscale furniture store and see the colors and decorations they use with those colors then go go Wally World or the Salvation Army and imitate them. Have fun

You can try gold accents. Either bright or antiqued.

Do you have curtains? Or a table cloth.

My sister did something similar and used gold,
forest green, and white accents. Looked richly elegant.

How about hanging a wood framed mirror on the wall?
