Before and after - Dining Room edition...
This dining room has had a moody makeover and while these photos don’t quite capture it (dark paint problems 🙈), I couldn’t wait to share.
What was once a lighter, neutral space is now a cosy, cocooning room designed for real family life from midweek dinners to slow Sunday lunches.
We leaned into:
• Deep, rich tones for warmth and depth
• Layered lighting to soften the space
• Practical, family-friendly finishes that still feel elevated
It’s proof that darker rooms don’t have to feel small… they can feel grounding, inviting and beautifully lived-in
I’ll be re-shooting this space when the light behaves. But for now, here’s a little glimpse of the transformation.
Would you go dark or do you prefer a light, neutral space?
