North facing dining room

[ashestoashes]

Hi. Hoping for inspiration with my dining room please. I have been brave and painted colour all around the room. I love the colour but it does make the room quite dark. Any advice on where I can tweak this to improve this would be great. I would like to keep colour if possible. My front room is dark just across chimney breast and recesses and I don't want to repeat this. Thank you!

Large mirror on the wall in front of the dining table would help reflect light. Lovely colour btw.

Your art print looks fabulous with that colour. I'd also add in lots of accent lighting dotted around. Also, Dunelm sell mirrored picture frames that look quite smart. You could put a row of 3 somewhere & again, just that little piece of mirror will help reflect light around.

Thank you. A mirror seems the way to go! 😊👍

uplighters on the wall which will reflect light off the ceiling

Hi what colour paint is this? It looks great! I would get a nice floor lamp to put on when it’s dark to give some soft lighting x

It is a copy of Lick Green 08.

That is a gorgeous colour.

Nice colour! Lots of lamps, prints on the wall with white frames/lots of white in, maybe a pale coloured rug (if you are neat eaters…)

I love the colour too :)

If it's a north facing room, you may never feel that it's "light" so I'd go instead for bright. Lots of splashes of accent colours (I'd go for oranges, tans, maybe a bit of rich purple?). A rug, pictures/prints, a cloth on the table or throws or cushions on the chairs -- you wouldn't need much but it would inject some warmth.
