Live Oak Idea House: Dining Room

Adjacent to the study, this dining room is lined with tall bookshelves and can serve as extended office space. French doors give the dining room and study a separate entrance. Designer Mary Solomon chose a palette of red, black, and gold that makes these areas visually appealing. For a focal point, the built-ins are painted a rich red.

The Color Red

This room is meant for entertaining, so we selected a dynamic red to draw people in. The round table encourages conversation.

The dining room has red walls, a round table and chairs with arms.


Newberry Park Idea House: Dining Room

Featuring the same brick paver flooring as the front hall, this dining room shimmers with gold-and-green wallpaper. As a complement, the ceiling is hand-painted with an iridescent faux finish glaze. Marking the room's center, a circular trim creates an eye-catching detail from which a wrought iron chandelier is suspended. A circular, scalloped-edge glass tabletop rests on a stone-and-iron base. Slipper chairs upholstered in alternating patterned chenille fabric surround this magnificent table. Draperies made from moss green silk are edged with a bullion fringe.

Strong architectural elements such as columns, moldings and even a door in the hallway adjacent to this dining room, serve as a backdrop for the drama of entertaining.

Soothing and Serene

African and Asian influences are prominent in this rectangular dining room, where large, uncomplicated, polished furnishings are ideally positioned and surrounded by a mix of earthy materials. The room's calming atmosphere results from the use of repetitive elements, such as a series of anchoring stacked-stone columns, defining high-back dining chairs, a side wall of windows, and crisscross wood beams across an off-white ceiling. (啥都不放,有點象會議室哈)

This home, meant to reflect the meditative silence of both dawn and dusk, is simply mesmerizing. Gradual hues on walls, columns, and draperies reflect the natural spectrum of subtle color seen with the rising and setting of the sun.

Natural Colors: Out of the Marshes

The lush marshes of Georgia's coast were a natural inspiration for this Sea Island home. For the dining room, the homeowner, along with interior designer Lori Cook, selected a pale green wall color with a golden undertone to complement the adjoining straw-colored foyer and living room; this creates a calming effect. This room is a good example of how to use one color throughout. What keeps it from feeling repetitive is that the shade varies in intensity. The pale green walls create a great backdrop for the stronger colors in the fabrics and accessories.

Shutters Provide Solutions

Instead of dividing spaces with conventional walls, this couple wanted their home's public spaces (living room, dining room, and home office) to have the flexibility of being opened or separated as needed. They accomplished this goal by installing a pair of louvered doors, which pivot by means of upper and lower pin attachments.

Pure Heaven in the Highlands

Casually Elegant Dining

With a neutral foundation of creamy walls and a sea grass rug, mustard yellow-and-red toile draperies offer a punch of color in this dining room. But it's the creative iron rods that add spice to the windows. Working with a local ironsmith, this homeowner designed the finials to resemble bunches of wheat. A symbol of prosperity, wheat is often found in Country French design. Simple panels take on a fresh look with a band of coordinating red checked fabric running the length of the draperies.

A distressed, painted console table provides a whimsical feel when paired with the French-style furniture. Sitting pretty by the painted piece, an armchair is adorned with a leopard-print pillow. Lamps are also a key element in this room. They offer a rich glow when used in combination with the chandelier.

Inspired by Color

This grape-colored dining room is set off by columns to distinguish the space. Two arched, glass-paneled doors lead to the kitchen and family room with a built-in china closet in between.
