A single, fabulous room item, such as the painting in this dining room, can be the color catalyst for any space.
We kept the wall color a quiet ivory to avoid visual competition with the painting. Picking up one of the more substantial gold tones of the artwork and echoing it onto the ceiling helps to tie together the room’s color scheme.
The deeper toned ceiling envelops the dining area with color, helping to create a more intimate feel to the room, enhancing the sharing of good food and conversation.
Luxurious upholstered chairs and a soft, thick area rug in gentle neutral tones, add a comforting layer of elegance to the room. The deep, rich espresso-hued table works well as an anchoring color element while the sensuous silk curtains in quiet jade, complement the room’s overall color scheme, finishing the look with polished perfection.
