Dining room in mid-century style

A dining room in mid-century style means walnut, brass, mustard and olive. Redoing the floor, the walls and the ceiling of a dining room of 16 m² in that style costs €1,384 – 2,532 in materials alone, fitting not included. Roomstill shows it on a photo of your own room, walls and windows untouched.

What actually changes in a dining room?

In a dining room, the table is too big or the room too narrow. Style alone does not fix that: what changes is the table, the chairs and the pendant light. Everything else — load-bearing walls, windows, doors — stays put, and that is exactly what Roomstill keeps in place.

How much does a dining room in mid-century style cost?

For a dining room of 16 m², budget between €1,384 and €2,532 in materials for the floor, the walls and the ceiling. It is a range and not a price, because the same material often doubles depending on the finish. Line by line:

Wallsmatt emulsion paint, warm sand44 m²
Ceilingmatt emulsion paint, chalk white18 m²

Prices surveyed on the French market, materials only: fitting is extra and often costs as much as the material itself. Quantities include a 10 % cutting margin. The area is that of a typical 16 m² room — in the app you give your own and everything recalculates.

What colours suit a dining room in mid-century style?

Three colours are enough to recognise mid-century: a dominant, a material, an accent.
