The Stay-a-While Dining Room

This dining room got a full refresh - including removal of the old floral wallpaper (it was not the charming vintage kind!). In its place? A warm, inviting space layered with personality, texture, and a smart mix of new high- and low-cost furnishings and decor that feel collected, not cookie-cutter.

The heart of the room is the banquette running the entire back wall, designed for lingering—whether it’s cocktails before dinner or conversations that stretch well past dessert. The sideboard keeps linens, serveware, and entertaining essentials close at hand. Rustic double chandeliers bring drama and glow overhead, while the rust-colored ceiling adds unexpected warmth and perfectly balances the darker furniture and accents below.

Wall lanterns add cozy ambiance, the oversized clock keeps things grounded and graphic, and layered textures throughout make the room feel relaxed yet intentional. It’s comfortable, stylish, and made for gathering—the kind of dining room where no one’s in a rush to leave.
