Continuing with the new build home recently completed (you’ve seen the family and breakfast rooms), we also decorated the dining room, entry and master bedroom.
When you walk in the front door, the dining room is on your left. It has two wall openings (open to the entry and open here at an angle looking back to the front of the house)
Before:
The ‘entry hall’ is nice and open with an alcove area next to the stairwell.
Before:
To keep a consistent flow throughout the downstairs level, we used the same color scheme in the entry and dining areas, going just a shade darker with the paint for the dining room. The home owners had a table and chairs they were happy with, but the space was to narrow for any of the rugs and buffets they had seen in stores.
We did a new floorplan for the space and had a sisal rug custom made to fit the confines of the room. We also found a very narrow buffet in a pretty white wash that stands out against the dark blue paint and the dark wood table.

With the dining room, you can see yet another example of why it can be a big source of design impact to swap out the builder installed light fixtures for ones that reflect your personality. As well, you also see again the impact of paint and window treatments. It is hard to argue against the proof in a picture!

I love how there is a clear connection between these two rooms, yet they each have their own personality (and, of course, function). The zebra rug really makes the foyer!
I absolutely love this dining room as a whole. Would you mind sharing the name of the dark blue paint color?
I love the paint color and curtains. Would you be able to give the sources?
The curtains are custom. If you would like a quote you can email us at info@heatherscotthome.com with you dimensions and we can give you a price. I can not recall the paint color now but I know it was Benjamin Moore, I think from the hc collection.
I love the hutch in the dining room. Do you happen to have any other pictures of it?
I’m sorry, but we do not. Glad you like it!
Are you able to tell me the company that sells the chandelier?

May you please tell me the color on the dinning room wall, please.
I can’t remember exactly, but it is from the Benjamin Moore Historical collection. These paints start with the letters HC and are in the back of the paint deck. It is a very dark grey/blue.
Can you please tell me the paint brand and color for the dining room?
Benjamin Moore Charlotte Slate.
Is your dining room color the Benjamin Moore Hale navy?
No, it is Benjamin Moore Charlotte Slate. More of a dark grey with some green/blue undertones.
Hello – Can you please tell me where you got the dining room set?

I believe the paint color is BM Normandy. We painted our dining room the same color 🙂 was
