Dining & Family Room design plan

Welcome to my blog! 

This is a two part blog. Today I will share with you the Design Plan for a Living & Dining Room interior design project. Part two will be the "Living & Dining Room Reveal!"

This project is a great sample of what a Du interiors UltimateDesign Package” looks like. 

The main focus was to create a complete design plan for the living room and make recommendations for purchases for the Dining Room and Entry to tie all of these spaces together. 


We used many of the pieces that the client already owned and simply added the finishing touches to pull each of these spaces together. We selected big ticket items that are timeless and built to last and we personalized each of these spaces with punches of color and fun accessories that can be easily and relatively inexpensively changed in the future.

The before…















What to keep? 
Wall color, the dining room table & chairs + square wall mirror + Beige sofa

The Inspiration…Client’s love for blues & orange tones.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Oh, the joy of accessories!

Du interiors project A person can have a lovely home with nice things and it can look attractive but the overall effect is that nothing really grabs the eye.  What could make the pleasantly ordinary come alive are well-placed accessories.

For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick.  Du interiors Master Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Objects give rooms personality.  You may be able to achieve this yourself. Or with the right interior designer you would b...
