Formal dining room

The dining room is the ideal place to use a dramatically patterned wallpaper but, to keep the look understated, choose a muted colour. This will prevent the scheme from becoming to overpowering.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK…


•A combination of simple furniture with more traditional pieces creates a crisp, classic feel.


•A glass-fronted bookcase provides an elegant way to display glasses and plates, and to store table linen.


•Loose covers on dining chairs give the room a sophisticated feel.


•Soft, ambient lighting from table lamps, chandeliers and candlelight ensures the mood is right for dining.
