Room of the Day

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I am the type of person that can really enjoy dark walls especially when it is done well and in the right space.

I love the contrast it can create with white thick trim and molding and I love how the designer of this dining room added white drapery to keep it light and airy. A space with dark walls should have adequate lighting and I like this look more in bedrooms and dining rooms rather than in a space where you may need more light.

The whole color scheme of this gorgeous dining room is also really beautiful. The rich dark wood with the soft yellow chairs and dark blue walls is really sophisticated and elegant. The style of this room is nice as well. It has quite a few traditional elements while still keeping it up to date and fresh looking. Wouldnt you agree?
