Some dining rooms are reserved for holidays, but this isn’t one of them. For this family, the dining room is where just about everything happens; family dinners, homework after school, weekend projects, and catching up at the end of the day. We wanted the space to reflect that. A larger table better suits the way they gather, updated lighting brings warmth to the room, and a leafy wallpaper adds personality while tying everything back to the rich teal tones in the front living room. Tucked off to the side, a dedicated whiskey bar gives a nod to one of the homeowners’ favorite ways to unwind, making the space feel even more personal. Beautiful spaces should be lived in, and this one certainly is.
