A Country Chic Breakfast Nook Makeover

Slide 2 of 14

A Bright Nook

To instantly brighten up the room, Stephen chose a rich yellow wall color. To add even more character, he took advantage of the existing molding piece that went around the room in a chair rail style. Stephen saw a natural fit to add one of his favorite elements to the room, bead board. This added detail gave the room a classic feel infused with country style.

Designer Tip: To save on time, Stephen says, "I chose the panels that are sold in 4 foot by 8 foot sheets and cut them down to size to fit under existing molding. The panels come primed or unprimed. I tend to like the thicker versions that are sold, but there are various options and price points to suit your budget."
