SAVORING THE DINING ROOM...

Dining rooms are usually the center of the home during the holidays, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. But if you are likely to entertain during any of the other 361 days, the room should still reflect your style.

The main elements to consider besides the table and chairs when designing the dining room are the buffet, lighting, window treatments and an area rug. Everything else is gravy (pun intended). I'm likely to add a mirror to help expand the sense of light and space in a room.

Here are 2 dining rooms that I created for clients who love to entertain....
