Design and Planning


Effective design and planning are essential for a successful dining room remodel. It involves understanding the space, selecting a style, choosing colors and materials, and picking the right furniture. Each decision impacts the overall look and functionality of the room.

Understanding Space and Functionality

Before making any changes, assessing the dining room's layout is crucial. The size and shape of the room will guide how to use the space effectively.


Key Considerations:



  • Traffic Flow – Ensure there is enough space for movement around the table and entrances.
  • Seating Needs – Consider how many people typically dine together. This affects table size and seating arrangements.


Identifying the main activities, such as formal dinners or casual gatherings, will help define the space's purpose. The right planning can transform a crowded area into one that feels open and inviting.

Choosing a Design Style

Selecting a design style sets the room's tone. Each style has unique characteristics that influence other choices.


Popular Design Styles:


  • Modern – Sleek lines and minimal decor.
  • Traditional – Classic furnishings and warm colors.
  • Rustic – Natural materials and cozy elements.


Choosing a style that complements the rest of your home creates a cohesive and inviting environment. Some homeowners blend elements from multiple styles for a unique, personalized look.

Selecting Color Schemes and Materials

The right colors and materials set the mood and enhance the overall ambiance of the dining room.


Key Factors to Consider:



  • Color Harmony – Select colors that work well together, including wall colors, accents, and decor.
  • Materials – Choose durable materials for tables, chairs, and flooring. Wood, metal, and high-quality fabric are excellent choices.


Testing paint samples and fabric swatches before committing to a design helps ensure the final look aligns with your vision.

Furniture Selection

Furniture selection is a crucial part of the dining room remodel. The right pieces contribute to comfort, style, and functionality.


Tips for Choosing Furniture:


  • Table Size – Match the table to the room size and the number of people dining regularly. Round tables can help save space.
  • Chairs – Prioritize comfort and proportion. Chairs should be the right height for the table and provide ample support.
  • Storage Solutions – Sideboards or buffets can add extra storage and serving space while enhancing the room’s design.

1. Structural Changes

If the remodel involves structural modifications, our team evaluates the existing layout and determines whether walls need to be moved or adjusted.



  • We conduct a thorough structural assessment to ensure safety.
  • Beams, drywall, and other materials are selected for durability and design.
  • Finishing touches, such as crown molding and trim, enhance the final look.

2. Electrical and Plumbing Considerations

Upgrading electrical and plumbing systems ensures the dining room is both functional and up to code.



  • Electrical updates may include additional outlets, light switches, or smart lighting controls.
  • Plumbing adjustments are made for homes incorporating built-in beverage stations or bar areas.
  • All work follows local regulations in SF, San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, San Mateo, and the surrounding Bay Area to ensure safety and efficiency.

3. Lighting and Ambiance

Lighting plays a key role in defining the atmosphere of the dining room. Our team incorporates various lighting options to enhance the space.


  • Ambient Lighting – Chandeliers, pendant lights, or recessed lighting provide overall illumination.
  • Task Lighting – Wall sconces or table lamps create a cozy, intimate setting.
  • Accent Lighting – Spotlights or LED strips highlight architectural details and decor.


Installing dimmer switches allows for adjustable lighting that can accommodate different occasions.

4. Decor and Accessories

Once the structural work is complete, decor and accessories bring the space together.



  • Furniture arrangement ensures functionality and flow.
  • Art pieces, rugs, and table decor add warmth and personality.
  • Custom window treatments complement the room’s design while offering light control.


Our design team works closely with homeowners to select decor that enhances their vision while keeping the space cohesive.
