Dining Room

From a heavy, segmented office to an airy, texture-rich dining room ready for gathering.
The before

Horizontally divided by color-blocked walls

Previously serving as a home office, the room featured a distinct two-tone color block divided by a wooden chair rail.

Dark navy upper walls contrasted with white lower walls, leaving the space feeling exceptionally dark. This heavy atmosphere was compounded by dominant honey-oak woodwork framing every baseboard, window, crown line, and doorway.

Reclaiming this space as a formal dining room

We brightened the room by painting the honey oak trim and walls off-white. Overhead, a linen-shaded linear chandelier replaced the flush mount, while black window hardware adds contrast. A sleek dark wood table anchors the space, paired with organic seagrass chairs, a botanical rug, and tailored pleated curtains. It’s an evolving room where we continuously swap and style new decor pieces.
