Texture Treatment

Who says wood chairs need to be paired with a matchy-matchy wood table? Mixing different finishes makes a room more visually interesting. Tip: If you want your textures (rather than colors) to subtly stand out, go with a neutral hue for your chair cushions and curtains, like these gold-toned fabrics.

I think that all of these styles are ugly..Who was the designer for this?

These dining rooms are SO boring! I seriously thought the "Texture Treatment" photo was the BEFORE shot of a makeover and kept looking for the AFTER.

I'm not a fan of glass tables all together.

In every one of these, the chairs match the walls. This makes everything blend in, why not make them stand out!

I TOTALLY agree. Have these folks ever heard of rugs, color, texture? They aren't bad, they just certainly aren't good nor inspiring.

The "green scene" one is off to a good start, but needs more accessories. Most of these were not my style though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought these were all boring and ugly.

I like the Natural Nook - very simple & clean look.

If these are the "favorites" I would hate to see the rest. "Bland and boring" would be a more appropriate title for this.

None of these are good at all, and they look dated.

I like my dining room better

These rooms are not at all cute, trendy or even presentable! The only people that would get inspired by these rooms probably live in a trailer park.

Boring! I like mix and match but this looks so dated.

by sastaton on Jul 19, 2010

Now that I have seen all these I am not impressed. I will stick to Apartment Therapy for decor inspiration.

by sastaton on Jul 19, 2010

I agree with everyone else, these are awful dining rooms without any style. I have a great dining room I would have been happy to share!

by Jesspellant on Jul 19, 2010

this one is probably my favorite, but I am pretty disappointed. I thought they would be so much cooler than they were. :( definitely missed the nail by a longshot nest.

by ChristyWilliams on Jul 22, 2010

I agree! These are terrible!

by mhankins8 on Jul 26, 2010

Yuck! These are all awful!

by kitztl on Jul 27, 2010

I liked the idea for “Flea-Market Charm”, but nothing in the pictures provided me any inspiration.

by mdavislover on Jul 28, 2010

What is with the small circular tables? Aren't those more kitchen tables? What do people do when they have more than one other couple over for dinner? I agree- all of these styles are ugly.
