The goal in this dining room was to give a nod to the couples’ modern aesthetic while maintaining the architectural flow from outside this Colonial home. Our concept was that a young couple had inherited a Venetian palazzo. First, we raised the chair rail, and added some panel molding, then we applied a vintage looking damask wallcovering to add instant “age.” Dramatic green silk vintage linen velvet drapery and grass shades add texture. In the center of it all, contemporary Italian furniture and lighting contrast, yet compliment, the rest of the room. Photo by Beth Singer.
