I am excited that dining rooms are getting attention again! My firm has always loved going over the top in the dining room. See the attached photo of one of my projects. This room captures many of the trends I am seeing recently.
- Put attention on the ceiling. In this project we added a coffered ceiling with custom whitewashed pecky cypress. We also love bold color on the ceiling or a dramatic wallpaper which is on trend
- Add a large format piece of art to anchor the room
- Take the chandelier up a notch. Use a bold, elevated, sculptured fixture instead of a predictable one.
- Along with differing side chairs, use host chairs with arms in a coordinated but not matching pattern or color to add some drama
- Add fresh flowers, plants or other items that give a sense of place.
