A Timeless Dining Room

Location: Bernardsville, NJ

Designer Credits: Kathleen Monteleone

Project Overview:

Our dining table takes center stage in this space with its tapered sled base and thick top edge, exuding a stately, architectural presence. The warm brown tone is enhanced by hand wire brushing, introducing texture and depth for a truly striking focal point.

Paired with the table, off-white chairs upholstered in a linen-like performance fabric provide a light, airy contrast while offering easy care. The design features Parsons-style side chairs with a keyhole cutout, creating an understated contrast to the high-back armchairs. Trimmed in bronze nailheads, the armchairs lend a timeless and classic touch to the ensemble.

Grounding the space is a stunning wool rug inspired by Moroccan patterns, featuring a trellis design with geometric details in soft cream and gray hues. The rug adds warmth and subtle elegance, tying the elements together beautifully.

The drapery panels elevate the design further with an updated print in soft off-white cotton accented by hues of charcoal and cornflower blue. This choice adds sophistication while maintaining the room’s airy and inviting atmosphere.
