Brighten up your dining room with light wood and pale painted furniture
February 22, 2017
A fun hare motif wallpaper on a feature wall with contemporary chairs and understated crockery – the perfect scheme for a laid-back family Easter lunch.
Love this dining room
- Mix light wood and pale-painted furniture with simple lines to create a contemporary feel in a dining room.
- Cover a wall with feature wallpaper. This fun hare design is ideal for Easter and makes a focal point all year round.
- Display seasonal finds in boxes, frames and mini-crates on the wall for an up-to-date take on the nature table.
- Dress the dining table in strong pastels and hang pretty paper fans to make a family lunch more of an event.
Good Idea
Cut out leaf and flower shapes from patterned papers and stick on to pussy willow branches for a seasonal display.
Styling Tips
Modern chairs look great around a farmhouse-style table. A bench painted in a minty blue is the perfect finishing touch.
Hanging timber-style wallpaper diagonally creates a modern country look in a kitchen.
Primrose and aquamarine
Set bold pops of colour against cool grey wallpapers for a fun kitchen update.

Individual Detail
Lay a pretty personalised place setting with dip-dyed feathers, mini eggs and strips of patterned paper to create a sense of occasion.
Get Creative
Painted eggs will look great displayed in a colourful bowl on a sideboard or on the table.
Baking Station
For a twist on the country dresser, team a butcher’s block with a shelf and hanging rail above – ideal for storing and displaying your kitchen utensils.
