Natural Comfort Dining Room

You can never go wrong when decorating with natural materials especially when they are constructed of the highest quality. Restoration Hardware is the perfect spot to find natural gems, as shown above, designed with classic and clean form. Have you ever been to a Restoration Hardware store? If not, you must! Their stores are beautifully designed with such elegant simplicity. If you are a lover of all things interior, as I clearly am, then do yourself and favor go! Take note of the soft graphite walls, worn (yet new?!) wooden floors, luxurious textiles (especially bath towels), and one of a kind furnishings. Go!

Dining rooms are fabulous to design and decorate. As an extension of the kitchen, they are a supporting role to the heart of the home. Warm shades of red entice the appetite, while shades of green do the opposite (stay away from using large amounts of yellow/green in this room...unless you want to promote dieting!). I enjoy clean and simple dining rooms in muted tones; this effect draws the eye to the "piece de resistance" in the room -- the cuisine. Tip: use white dinnerware to draw additional focus to the yummy food.
