- COMMON DESIGN MISTAKES | Dining Room Mistakes (Plus how to fix them!)
This video is all about common design mistakes I see made in the dining room and how to fix them. While the kitchen is the heart of the home, the dining room is that fun gathering space where
conversations can last for hours over a hearty meal and endless wine. It’s the place where you convene with your family after a long day to dish and catch up. Memories are made here and family time cherished.
Even though it’s the dining space, that doesn’t mean you can’t inject your style and personality into the room. The color choices you make, the patterns you love, the finishes you gravitate towards, the shape and style of the furnishings are all opportunities to get creative with the design. Avoid making these common dining room design mistakes to enjoy it for years to come.

You asked, I answered! BEST WALL PAINT COLORS to Pair with Wood Trim, Flooring, Cabinets and Furniture video is now up everyone! Check it out HERE: ruclips.net/video/0_Lh14jBeCA/видео.html
I would love to see that
Let's try
After doing the math accounting for 36” from each nearest wall, that leaves me with a 2 inch square dining table. Sweet.
Lol, you can anchor a bench or sofa (like I did) on one wall to free up the aisle space on the other wall Aris
I really laughed
Same with me. I have to do a breakfast nook sofa situation. Haven’t gotten that far into my design yet though.
Omg I learnt so much in just one video...THANK YOU JULIE...please keep them coming 👍
🤣
I think if I tell my brother 'but Julie says' one more time he will scream 😂
😂😂😂😂 I can see myself doing that as well 💯
😂
😂😂
🤣 Aiming for him to repeat it one day
Hahaha.
Favorite colors with wood stains, YES PLEASE! 💖🦩 And mixing wood tones, especially at the dining table: chairs to table.
Was just about to ask for how to mix & match different wood tones!
@@elizabeth930 Great minds💖🦩
Will add it to the queue! 🙌🏻
Yes please :)
Yes, please! Working with a red oak floor throughout the whole main area. It's not that awful honey oak of the 80s, especially once I redo kitchen cabinets and put in tall white baseboards and white walls, but still wondering how to add some depth with more woods.
Yes on the wood stains! Also, wallpaper when and where to use them. Sources and who to find to install them. Thanks!
Copy, thank you for watching and the new ideas Candice! 🙏🏻☺️
YES for the paint - woodstain color matching !
Coming up!
Definitely would like to see what paint colors compliment different color woods. We just purchased a dining table for our house that’s being built. I just love ALL of your videos! Thank you!
Thank you for watching Zee! I’m working on the video now, the people have spoken 🙏🏻☺️
I got on to say the same thing!
my fiance thinks your house is a mistake, but shes silent when i beautifully decorate our house on your advice and videos, best interior designer on youtube, no haters
Thank you for watching Simon! So glad I can help you reinterpret your space 🙏🏻☺️
My 1-hr virtual consultation with you was awesome! It was eye-opening to get your designer’s view on our dining room dilemmas! I love that you can adapt to any space and style. I didn’t have time to implement all your suggestions and ideas yet, but I’m getting there 😊 Thanks again for a great experience!
You’re very welcome Brigitte! I’m so glad I was able to help you while we were all in quarantine 🙏🏻☺️💕
Hi Julie, love your channel. Can you do a segment for living/dining room combination?
Yes, I’m working on an open space plan video now Tracy! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Hello Julie, do we have this video ?
Julie! This is one of my favorite videos! I rent my apartment, and I lowered my dining room overhead light while watching this video. My dining area looks so much better! Thank you!
Awesome!! 🙌🏻 Precisely why you need to keep the chains 👍🏻
Your advice is absolutely incredible. I don't think anyone is coming close to this level of helpfulness.
You’re the best. Thank you for watching and the support 🙏🏻☺️
Yes, definitely share a video with us for matching paint color(s) with different colors of wood. Thank you so much, Julie!
The video is now up on my playlist Eda 👍🏻☺️
Another great in detail video. I love that you give your advice freely. Feels like a design session with you everytime I watch
Well Done to you Julie🤗
Thank you for watching Cherilee! Hopefully you can use some of these tips when you’re ready ☺️🙏🏻
Please offer your tips on how to style a dining area when it is part of the living room as in a condo. Older style apartments that have a long narrow room that is living on one end and dining on the other. I not only have this but have small 8’x11’ covered outdoor terrace off the dining area. I love the space but struggling to find a coherent design style for the space.
Sounds like the layout we may have in our condo that has been built !😳🥴
My home has one of these as well... And maybe discussing how to do things on a strict budget... And the expected cost of redesigning the space.
I’ll start breaking down the costs of remodeling/ furnishings in a future series Lizzie! Look out for it 😉
I treat them as separate spaces Colleen. You can create cohesiveness with a similar color palette. But don’t feel like everything has to match. I’ll work on a future video to illustrate this point 👍🏻
The videos in the series are so comprehensive and useful! Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Julie, your videos are filled with so many detailed examples! Thank you for sharing all the eye candy!
Thank you for watching B&M! 🙏🏻☺️
Yes, we need a color matching with wood video. I have cherry wood floors and it took me 2-3 months of color sampling before committing. I needed the wall color to not only complement the floor but also the fixture, the room doors, my furniture and the hallway walls for that complementary transition.
You got it KayKay, thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Same here KayKay.
great video, love it! Yes would love to see paint-woodstain color matching! Thank you!
Thank you for watching Am! 🙏🏻☺️
Absolutely LOVE these series! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Kia! 🙏🏻☺️
Can't wait for you to make the video on choosing paint to match wood stain. This was so educational!
Seems like it’s a hit! 👍🏻
Definitely would like a video about wood+colour combinations, great idea 👍
Thank you for watching Maria! 🙏🏻☺️
I wait for your “matchy-matchy” in every video! I have started saying that! Lol! 🤣
You’ll hear it in the next one as well! 🤣
You have great aesthetics! Thank you for this video.
Once again you provided us with tips and ideas that everyone will benefit! Thank you so much. The more I listen to you, the more I see the mistakes that I have done over the years. Please keep doing videos and do not stop!!!! I look forward to watching more and learn from you. On with me changing a few things around the house. Unfortunately all the rugs that my husband has bought are small ones and I have so many. I barely use them because I learned the rules and the proper ways of using rugs !
Smaller rugs that don’t work for larger living spaces look incredible in bathrooms and entryways Setta! Hope you can repurpose them! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
This was sooooo enlightening for me!! Thank you for making these principals accessible for those of us not skilled in design.
Thank you for watching Lisa! 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu hi my room length is 378cm after i subtracted both sides by 90cm it gives me 198cm and my table is 260cm without extended 180cm is that okay please let me know
Great teaching here! Thanks Julie for all your effort!
Thank you for watching Darli! 🙏🏻☺️
This is the best interior design video I have seen. It is an exact plan with measurements ready to implement.
An example of applied intelligence.
Thank you for watching! Hoping it makes your design process fun and effortless 👍🏻
Yes to paint colors for different types of furniture
Thank you for watching CC!
See, this is what I’m talking about when it comes to interior design content.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
You're a great teacher! I'm learning so much from your content. Thank you for these masterclasses in design! 💜💙🧡♥️💚
Thank you for watching Makirio ☺️🙏🏻💕
Thanks Julie, 👍 great content as usual. The wheels of change are spinning in my head right now.
That’s the best feeling 🙌🏻✨
Oh my gosh love your top! Totally my vibe ❤
Thank you! ☺️
Love you top too! Who is the designer?
This is another great video. Please do a living room, dining and open kitchen combination. Could you please also do a beach/coastal style? Thank you!
Yes, I’m working on an open plan video now Sherry! Stay tuned 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for sharing these tips! I know it time for an Update, because back in the day the Only way to style a room was to have everything match, this is a diffently a game changer!
It’s just my personal preference, do what you love Becky!
Love the tips for design mistakes that apply to a functional dining space. Those dimensions are easy to remember. Love all the tips.
Thank you for watching Beatrice! 👍🏻☺️
I love your videos and your design advice Julie! But I am definitely a traditionalist, and just love the warmth and elegance of traditional furniture. Please give a little more advice along these lines for people like me.Also, I would love you to do a video of paint colors to go with wood furniture! Thank you for all your advice!
Thank you for watching and the video suggestion Suzanne 🙏🏻☺️
I love all of your tips and rules of thumb. What do you think of a chandelier in a vaulted stairwell? At some point could you do a practical family type arrangement or maybe a little country. Most people don't live the way you're photographs outline, but your ideas are just tremendous.
Yes to a chandelier in vaulted ceilings, especially stairwells, fab! 👍🏻
this couldn't have come at a better time! I went to browse chandeliers and light fixtures at west elm with my cousins for their new dining room and we left without purchasing anything because we were a bit clueless. I will definitely show them this video before going back again! :) Thanks Julie!!
Awesome, now you have a plan with measurements in mind 🙌🏻
Hi Julie I just subscribed to your channel and I’m so thrilled! I must tell you that of all the designers I’ve seen on RUclips you actually look like you know what you’re doing because you’re stunning! Your choice in clothing is wonderful and it gives total credibility to your gifts as a visualizer and someone with good taste who knows about design principles. So happy that I found your channel and looking forward to more great i tips and tricks
Thank you so much for watching and your kindness Rene! Much appreciated 🙏🏻☺️
I held my breath, waiting to see if I made any of the design mistakes. I got out my tape measure and rechecked my clearances. In the end, I checked all the correct boxes except the focal wall, but only because I have yet to find the work of art I want there. Excellent video Julie. Mahalo from Maui 🌸🌈
You’re on it Merry 🙌🏻
Bring on the video that talks about paint colors that compliment wood stains best please.😀
Thanks Julie, your videos are always so professional and well put together. I can clearly see that you really take time to put your content together and I appreciate that.
Thank you for watching and your feedback Janelle! Much appreciated 🙏🏻☺️
Extremely helpful as usual! Thanks Julie!
Thank you for watching Karen 🙏🏻☺️
Julie, you are so correct I love the dining room for entertaining friends. Lovely dining table set with the place settings is perfect along a with a nice meal. Your friends will tell your friends what a wonderful time and the beauty of the room.
Yes 🙌🏻 It’s all about creating an intimate and welcoming guest experience
Please do a wood stain/paint video. I've been living with the same wall color for way too long! Love your videos and tips. Where have you been all my life? 😄❤ Also..please address designing open and semi-open (living room/dining room especially) spaces and what to mix with what. Unfortunately replacing everything is just not in the budget. 😢
I have a video on designing open concept spaces coming up Pat! Stay tuned for both 🙏🏻☺️
I love the idea of wood table with upholstered chairs!! I don’t necessarily have room for dining. Can you show a video of how to blend a kitchen, dining set and then fall into the living room?
Yes I need this too.., I have a weird l shaped front room with front door at center corner
Yes, I’m working on an open concept series for the new year Balinda, stay tuned! ☺️🙏🏻
Yes, I'd love to see your Paint color choices to match wood tones, and in general your go-to best colors! Thanks!
Thank you for watching Janet, I’m on it 🙏🏻☺️
These videos are so helpful to understanding how to elevate our spaces and avoid design mistakes.
I’d love to see a paint and stain video. Thanks for providing this content.
Thank you for watching Christine 🙏🏻☺️
Would love to see your home tour! I love the wall behind you. 💞💞
I have a home tour playlist on the channel now Michelle! Bits and pieces of my home featured in detail ☺️
Hi Julie, thanks for the video! Choosing shape of the table was an eye opener for me. I replaced my round table by rectangular to host more people but now I also know it better suits the space!
I do have a question though - I plan to do a gallery wall in the dining area of the great room (on the focal wall) and I have a huge piece of art that I love above the sofa in the conversational area (dame focal wall) that goes almost all the way to the cieling... Do I need to match upper line of my gallery wall in the dining area with the upper line of the painting above sofa so that they are on the same height? It is too high (too close to the ceiling) than I would normally do with the picture gallery, but they would be on the same wall, so I am worried that having them end on different height would create disbalance. Is there a rule on this?
No, I wouldn’t match that line at all for the gallery. You don’t want them competing, so best if you treat the two as separate installations Natalia.
Very good information I have never come across this anywhere else.
I love all of your videos but this one is by far one of your best videos. Great job.
Thank you so much for watching Mimi! 🙏🏻☺️
Hello dear ma'am
I hope you are safe and fine 😇
Wish you and your channel success 🥰🥰
Thank you for watching and your kindness ☺️🙏🏻
Hi Julie how about living/dining combo?
Yes, or a kitchen/dining combo where the kitchen also houses the dining table.
I have a video on open concepts coming up soon Mariea! Stay tuned 😉
YES ON THE WOOD STAINS!!!!! Also wallaper when and when not to use.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all the work you happily provide us!! ❤️
Great suggestions Sum! Thank you for watching and your feedback 🙏🏻☺️

Thank you for watching Carol 🙏🏻☺️
Just what I needed today!! Thank you Julie!
Thank you for watching Maria! 🙏🏻☺️
My mom had the same furniture as tie mom! We are glued to it. I love the idea of changing the chairs and thinking outside the box.
The mark of an Asian household 🙌🏻
These videos are invaluable!!!🤗🤗 It’s so important for me to know I’m on the right design track. Thank you!😊😊❤️
Thank you for watching Jolita! 🙏🏻☺️
Very helpful content. THANK YOU Julie
Thank you for watching Rebecca! 🙏🏻☺️
Julie, I love your videos! They teach and inspire me!
Thank you for watching Karen ☺️🙏🏻
Yes please, as an answer to the question about colors that match different wood stains (8:35)!
Thank you for very professional videos! Such a pleasant quality of both video and audio.
Working on it now Julia, thank you for watching and the feedback 🙏🏻☺️
I thank you for your videos! I learn and get inspired with every one.
Thank you for watching Colleen 🙏🏻☺️
Absolutely a YES for paint with wood matching
Thank you for watching Audrey! 🙏🏻☺️
This is, hands-down, the best and the most practical decor video I have ever seen AND it is visually delicious. Well done! And I love, love, that you did what I have always dreamed of doing: Putting luxurious, comfortable, rolling office chairs around a dining table. It makes the dining table perfect for long dinners, for poker night, for doing projects. The ones in my imagination are not as cool as yours, though. I love the arching metal armrests (Sticky and greasy hands should not go near the fabric but have easily cleanable armrests) and the unique fabric you chose for the upholstery.
Thank you for watching LCH! I love my dining chairs, the upholstery is performance velvet so you can wipe it down easily with a Lysol/cleaning wipe without harming the fabric 👍🏻
I learned so much watching this!! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for watching Mary Beth! ☺️🙏🏻
Thank you! This is fantastic 😀
Thank you for watching Rhegan 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks for the video!! This was very helpful and has stopped me from going through with several of these mistakes.
Awesome, thank you for watching Melly 🙏🏻☺️
You just made my day
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Love the videos. Your mom is right to keep the beautiful Asian cherry wood dining table. I am a big fan of blending modern and traditional. The table is the center.
She still has it! Except no center leaf now since it sits in her studio ☺️
Great video. I love the way you honored your mother. Dinning room tables hold many memories. Hard to let go. I have a beautiful Dinning room table which is traditional but small enough for my kitchen nook. I made it cozy by personalizing it with French toile chairs. It’s just perfectly. Ps I do get the Chinese table.. they are heirlooms and art work In itself. Great video
Thank you Maria! It brings her joy, how can I say no 🥰
Thank you Julie for those info point taken.
Thank you for watching Dorrett! 🙏🏻☺️
Yes on the paint for walls suggestions that you commonly use or recommend. Look forward to seeing your suggestions. Hugs ✌️
Thank you for watching Jackie! ☺️🙏🏻
Thanks you for sharing .love ❤️ it,
Thank you for watching Irene 🙏🏻☺️
I love watching your videos in the morning with my coffee as it leaves me inspired for the day ahead ✨ Thanks, Julie 😊 And yes to the woodstains-wall colors topic for the next time! Much love ❤️
Aw I love that, thank you for watching and the support Kamila 🙏🏻☺️
Hello Julie,
Thank you for another great video. I would love to hear your take on larger furniture pieces in the dining room (ie. buffet/sideboard, bar, or similar).
If you have room for it alongside the clearances, go for it 👍🏻
So useful thank you so much!! Apart from one I do all the other mistakes. Really appreciated the family owned furniture we get attached, so true, but if you realize it you can go ahead! 🙂🤗
Thank you for watching Effie 🙏🏻☺️
Great video ive learned so much!!!
Thank you for watching QH 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much. You have provided me with so much information that I will be incorporating in my new home decor. Your video has made my decisions much easier. Keep up the great advice and ideas.
Go with your gut Luz, you got this 🙌🏻☺️
Yes! A video on picking paint that works with wood tones would be great.
Thank you for watching Jack 🙏🏻☺️
Julie I love your series...thanks for teaching me so much...
Have wonderful holidays...👍☺️❤️
Thank you for watching Maria! Same to you! ✨☺️
This couldn’t of come at a better time. Would love to see video on your favorite paint colors against different woods.
Yes, I’m working on it now. Thank you for watching Vera! 🙏🏻☺️
Just started the video - first impressions? GORGEOUS outfit! ANDD the makeup? You are looking double gorgeous Julie!
Aww thank you so much Anna! 🙏🥰💖
Another great video. I always have issues finding the right dining table/ area rug size. Not any more. Thank you so much, Julie.
Awesome 👏🏻 glad I can help Da!
@@JulieKhuu Hi Julie - Can you please recommend some online stores to shop for oversized accent wall mirrors? Thank you in advance.
I stumbled on this video unintentionally but I'm so happy i did. I learned so much useful information.
Thank you for watching Gabby 🙏🏻☺️
Julie LOL I just moved my dining room table after watching this video! Thank you.
Awesome! 🙌🏻 Hope it works better for your space Debbie!
Thanks Julie. It would be awesome to see what paint colours go with different wood stains. Love your videos ❤️😊
Thank you for watching Afrodite! 🙏🏻☺️
Yes please make the video on wood stains and paint! You are so helpful!
Thank you for watching Kenzie! 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks again for great content. I am currently on the hunt for a replacement light fixture over our rectangle dining table.
I have a few lighting videos where I link over 100 fixtures under $500 Karen! Check it out if you haven’t already 👍🏻
Great tips Julie!
Thank you for watching Aline 🙏🏻😊
Thank goodness that table is beautiful... My heart was held stuck still I was so grateful to hear that your mom still had it
But I hear you I had to give away my mom's and it was very sad for me so this made me feel better thank you
I'm very interested in Vastu shastra, and feng shui..
She removed a center leaf to make it work for a smaller space Dianne. Now she uses it as her craft table ☺️
Julie, thank you so much. Once again, great information. Before you taught me the do’s and don’ts, I am guilty of buying the matchy matchy dining room set 😫. Perhaps adding a couple of “different” chairs will break that up but still look nice. I wish I would have met you several years ago! You’re awesome, thank you! Patricia
Yes, 2 different head chairs is a great start to mix it up Patricia! 👍🏻
