This dining room and adjoining living room already had a lot of red so I wanted to tone it down by adding additional colours. This patterned runner was perfect since not only did it have red but it also had all the colours from the living room carpet that was right beside it. When you only have 1 dining area, you don’t want it to be too formal since you still want to be comfortable having your bowl of cereal in the morning, but you also want it nice enough if you’re entertaining a more formal dinner. Adding, blue candles and blue bowl gave it the extra pop of needed colour.
