Inspiration: 3 Casual Dining Rooms

By Summer


I am so inspired by these three dining rooms. Each speaks a little differently, but have a common thread: they're lively, honest & cozy.

1.The first dining room of Dorothee Monestier has an impeccable balance of white/wood/color.  Nothing is overdone or over-decorated - uncluttered yet has lots of character. Take away tip: instead of painting  a big dose a color on the wall, look to the floors instead. A great big rug is equally as effective!

2. The second dining room, from the home of Sarah Yates, has incredible contrast (dark walls!) that give a shout to the amazing Orbit Chandelier.  I love the yellow chairs mixed with the wire ones. Take away tip: Use sheepskin to warm up & soften your seating.

3. The third dining room reflects effortless summertime living set for an informal family dinner. Books & magazines are stacked & leisurely. Take away tip: combine chairs with a bench or banquette for additional seating & style.
