It\u2019s where we have family time and where we entertain. Brandi Abdul-Malik of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dontdisturbthisgroove.com\/\">Don\u2019t Disturb This Groove<\/a> is able to show us how a few simple touch ups from The Home Depot can really help make this space your own.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118747 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d3ed530d2214e612c4fdb85316cbff77.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been itching to make some changes to our dining room. It started with a search for new dining chairs, then quickly turned into me rethinking how we use our space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118753 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5fdf2e026aaa37972729362a0559f4d2.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most nights we sit down as a family to eat dinner around the table and chat about our day. I would love to swap out our older chairs for something that better complements my style and brightens up the room. I am so grateful to partner with The Home Depot on my room refresh.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118752 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/6e2286b058bc04795005eaab506b9780.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for the room comes from my love of neutral colors layered in with black, white and natural wood tones. While I would still be using most of my existing furniture, I&#8217;m excited to share how a few updates can change the feel of the room.<\/p>\n<h3>The Before<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118745 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d97da8c15b7413b80bd638c600594b91.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before, I loved the freedom to mix and match our chairs. The two different styles worked well together, creating a casual and relaxed aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118740 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/f595eb97ff3d8581adc9970ae52c32f2.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Currently, I\u2019m craving a more sophisticated look. With so many options, something attractive that can be easily cleaned made the most sense.\u00a0 Spills happen!<\/p>\n<h3>Selecting New Chairs<\/h3>\n<p>The Home Depot has a wide selection of dining room chairs to fit any home. I browsed a wide variety of styles before ultimately choosing a set.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118743 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/bc3d385301098355da21730d306c7dc6.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"486\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Safavieh-Riley-Black-Wood-Dining-Chair-Set-of-2-AMH8500B-SET2\/203210162?cm_sp=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD00%7C000000%7CBrandiAbdul-Malik%7C118755\">Safavieh Riley chairs<\/a> fit perfectly with my existing table. I love the cohesive feel!\u00a0 They were easy to put together and are well made.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118746 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d488d8cb68ed072f063997e4d0a5e166.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though the chairs are available in assorted colors, including natural wood finish, raspberry and white, I chose black chairs. I love the contrast of the wood table with the black chairs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118744 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/517f3d3b9565c1e1f4bd90133776cc07.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Updated Lighting<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-118749 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/285462db3ea5dd2e1658e3428c54acfc.jpg\" alt=\"Dining Room Refresh\" width=\"750\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to chairs, we wanted to update the lighting for a new look.
