Knockout Knockoffs: Eclectic Dining Room

Designers have long been sought after for both inspiration and design aesthetic. But when it comes to the dining room, sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words. Take this stunning but simple eclectic dining room by designer Joseph Pubillones. Here's how you can get a similar look in your own space.

Starting with the middle of the room, the stately mirrored dining table not only serves as a functional piece but also as a truly dramatic piece. Pick one up at Wayfair.com. The A&B Group, Inc. Mirror Dining Table is 30"H x 71.5"L x 40"D and sells for $710.84 with free shipping.

 

 

Over at Hayneedle, get a similar console table with mirrored surface and drawers for storage. The Powell Mirrored Console in silver sells for $299.00 and also comes with free shipping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bulk of the cost of this room will be in the dining chairs. To get this gorgeous look, you'll probably need to look for custom chairs where you can select the fabric of your choice. And while Ballard Designs may not have the exact floral print, you can still get a similar look to the designer dining room with their Louis XVI Oval Back chairs. Select the walnut finish for your chairs along with a Honey-colored Danish Linen, and you'll pay $383.00 each for the Side Chair and $483.00 each for the Armchair. With 2 armchairs and 4 side chairs in your basket, you'll be looking at $2,489.00 plus a $60.00 threshold fee, and 10% shipping, or about $254.90 shipping. But if you are willing to wait and watch the website, you should be able to catch a sale on the chairs.

Finishing touches always bring a room the sparkle it needs to set it apart from the rest of the home. Here, the designer has added taffeta drapery to the windows. You can get the same look by heading back to Wayfair.com to pick up a pair of Half Price Drapes Faux Solid Taffeta Drapes in Mushroom or Java color. Either color choice is $82.71 per panel plus free shipping for the 96" length.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, selecting the eye-catching wall art turns a blank wall into a statement wall. A similar "Lepa Zena" print by Marta Gottfried Wiley can be picked up at Overstock.com. The 24"H x 33"W framed canvas art sells for $149.99 and comes with free shipping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All said and done, this room will cost you approximately $4,129.15. With careful planning, you can have a designer look without the expense of hiring a designer. Personalize the space with a centerpiece of your choice, and you are ready for company.
