Why did we choose a dark colour?

My clients' dining room faces north, with plenty of windows. A lighter colour would have made it feel airy and light. Dark makes it feel intimate and comfortable, and that's the direction we chose.

Dark walls quiet a room down. They pull attention back to the table instead of the walls, so people linger and talk, not rush through a meal.

We used Graham and Brown Pisa, carried through the skirting boards and trims into the open room next door so the two spaces stay connected. With the lights on in the evening, it gives the whole space a warmer, more intimate feel, and it hides every mark my clients' two Labradors leave on the wall.

🔶If you don't love your dining room either, get in touch, and we'll sort it together.

Have you heard of Nicholson Studio?

Laura Nicholson is a local artist from Aberdeen. We met years ago when our daughters were in the same classroom, it doesn't get more local than that.

One of her prints found its way into a recent project of ours, her work suits a home just as well as a commercial space.

We had tea together, and she showed me her newer pieces and some older favourites.

Supporting local businesses like Nicholson Studio is something we build into our projects wherever we can.

Scroll to see the amazing transformation. Part 2.

Dining room was the one Julie and her family barely used. No warmth, no character, and being a narrow space between the kitchen and the next room, it doubled as a walkway.
The brief needed two things: practical enough for two very loved chocolate Labradors, and special enough that the family wanted to relax over dinner.

We sent Julie a 3D visual of a much darker colour scheme, just to try and see if they would like it. And they did; no changes were necessary.

We layered in a wallpaper with a gold reflective pattern that catches the light beautifully, especially with the candles that come out for the right occasion, added more lighting, greenery, beautiful art from the local artist and new blinds.
Stain-resistant, high-quality dining chairs took the practical side of the brief, and the dining table stayed exactly where it was; it was already perfect, so there was no reason to replace it.

Colour psychology guided the shade itself, deep enough to feel grounding and cosy as well as practical for that space.

Are you a fan of LED? 💡

Some LED bulbs flicker so fast you cannot actually see it happening, but your brain still picks up on it. That invisible flicker can show up as headaches, eye strain, or an uncomfortable room to sit in. 🧠

For anyone in the family sensitive to light, including children, this is worth paying close attention to. 👶

LED has its place in a home, though it doesn't really need to be used in every room.

If you want your home to look elegant, layered light works better, lamps carry so much more personality and can become a nice feature in the room.
