Transforming Our Builder Grade Dining Room with Blueprint Lighting: A Mid-Century Modern Makeover

Imagine stepping into a dining room that feels like a cozy, stylish retreat—a space that reflects your unique style and personality. That’s exactly what we envisioned when we bought our brand new builder-grade home. We wanted to transform our dining room into a stunning mid-century modern sanctuary inspired by the sophistication of a cigar lounge.

For us, the dining room is more than just a place to eat; it’s where we gather with friends and family, share stories, and create lasting memories. We knew that to truly make this space special, we needed to add elements that would elevate its look and feel.

That’s where Blueprint Lighting came in. Their range of exquisite lighting fixtures offered the perfect blend of style and functionality for our dining room makeover. We were particularly drawn to their mid-century modern-inspired designs, which we felt would perfectly complement our vision for the space.

One of the key elements of our design was the lighting. We believe that lighting sets the tone for a room, and with Blueprint Lighting, we found fixtures that added warmth and ambiance to our dining room. Their unique designs, featuring hints of green, sharp lines, and wood and metal touches, were exactly what we were looking for to create a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.

With Blueprint Lighting, we were able to personalize our dining room and turn it into a space that truly reflects who we are. Whether we’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal at home, our mid-century modern dining room has become a place where we love to spend time—a true sanctuary in our home.

When my husband and I bought our brand new builder-grade home, we knew we wanted to put our stamp on it and create a space that truly reflected our style. One of the first areas we wanted to tackle was the dining room, which felt a bit uninspired with its basic lighting and lack of character right in the entry of our home.

We decided to go all-in with a mid-century modern theme, inspired by the sophistication of a cigar lounge. We wanted our dining room to be a place where we could entertain friends and family in style, but also a space where we could relax and unwind after a long day around the dining table with our family.

Our first step was to choose a statement chandelier that would set the tone for the entire room. We fell in love with the Molto 3-Arm ceiling fixture from Blueprint Lighting. Its spun-metal mesh shade and brushed brass finish added a playful yet sophisticated touch to our dining room, perfectly complementing the wood and metal accents we planned to incorporate.

Next, we added wall sconces to enhance the ambiance of the room. The Rigitulle wall sconce was a perfect choice, with its sleek design and adjustable shade that allowed us to direct light where we needed it most. The combination of metal and wood in this fixture tied in beautifully with our mid-century modern decor.

When it came to furniture, we chose pieces that had clean lines and a minimalist design. A sleek dining table with tapered legs and geometrically shaped dining chairs completed the look, creating a cohesive and stylish space. We are going to be adding a statement rug with a bold geometric pattern to tie the room together, adding warmth and texture to the space.

Finally, we added personal touches to make the space our own. A gallery wall featuring mid-century modern art and working on adding a vintage bar cart stocked with retro glassware added character and charm to our dining room, making it a true reflection of our style and personality.

Thanks to Blueprint Lighting, we were able to transform our builder-grade dining room into a stylish mid-century modern space that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends. Their range of lighting fixtures helped us to create a room that not only looks great but also feels welcoming and inviting—a true sanctuary in our home.
