A before and after at Well Suited: A darker room doesn’t necessarily feel smaller. Sometimes, it brings everything into focus.
In this dining room, we traded the contrast of white millwork and blue-gray walls for one continuous, saturated color...carrying it across the walls, trim, and paneling to give the existing architecture greater depth and presence.
A sculptural brass-and-glass chandelier, black dining table, and cane-backed chairs sharpen the room’s lines, while a rust-colored richly patterned rug bring warmth underfoot. The result is dramatic but grounded: a dining room that set the tone for the rest of the home’s evolution.
