Dining Room
A Stunning Dining Space with Accent Wall
Read Sandra Matsumoto's online interior design experience with Spacejoy
Sandra Matsumoto
We’re a household of two adults and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our first child at the end of December. While we don’t have pets, it’s essential that this space is safe and welcoming for our growing family, so features like glass dining tables and ladder-type chairs are not ideal. Currently, I’m finding it challenging to select a color scheme that complements our stone flooring and the connected spaces, which is why I’m seeking thoughtful design solutions that can tie everything together harmoniously.

My approach combines creativity with functionality, ensuring that each space is not only visually stunning but also tailored to meet the needs and preferences of my clients. I have a deep understanding of design principles and a passion for creating environments that resonate with the unique personalities of those who inhabit them.
Design Brief
We envision a dining table that seats 6-8 people, forming the centerpiece of the room. A sideboard or buffet with built-in wine storage would add a touch of sophistication, and while a wine fridge would be a welcome feature, it’s not essential. Given our love for drip coffee and espresso, a creatively designed coffee or drink station with practical storage would be a delightful addition. The space must be child-friendly, avoiding fragile elements like glass dining tables and ladder-type chairs to ensure safety for our growing family.
Watching Design Experts at Work
I was amazed by how efficiently they translated my ideas into reality. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and it was incredible to see them bring my vision to life through their expertise. The designers worked collaboratively, making adjustments based on my feedback, and their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the design.
Designer Notes
Hi Sandra! Here is the revision based on a higher budget tier. For the accent wall, you will see the wall behind the wall shelves/buffet in the Benjamin Moore Deep Royal color, with the remaining walls painted White Sand, which coordinates well with the Deep Royal. For the table, we added an option for a marble top, so you can compare with the previous wood and gold dining table. Let me know what you think! -Shannon
Using the Spacejoy App to Experience Designs in 3D
In less than 30 minutes, I was able to upload photos, share details of what I was looking for, and let the magic happen. When I received the first design, I was amazed at how close it was to my vision—just a few tweaks, and the designer planned out the perfect space for me.
Photorealistic images or 3D renders
The images mirrored my actual room so accurately that it felt like I was already living in my redesigned space. This attention to detail in the 3D renders allowed me to truly experience how the design would look and feel before committing to it.

Joyous Homes, Happy Customer
Great Experience with Spacejoy If you're like me and designed challenged, use Spacejoy. It took me less than 30 min to send them the details (photos, what I was looking for, etc) and the first design that was sent back was almost perfect - I made minor adjustments and the designer I worked with was able to plan the perfect space. The 3D renderings look exactly like my room. The shopping was easy they had a 10% promo so it ended up being cheaper than me ordering on my own. Their customer service was attentive, quick and efficient. My bedroom is now complete. :) I enjoyed this process so much - I just ordered 2 additional 'rooms' :) Thanks Spacejoy!
