Formal Dining Room with Grisaille Mural Transformation
Before Transformation
A heavy burgundy palette with traditional mahogany furniture made the dining room feel closed-in and dated, with no connection to the rest of the home.
Before
The Approach
A wraparound grisaille pastoral mural opens the walls into a quiet landscape, while a sculpted concrete pedestal table and slate-blue velvet armchairs ground the room with calm modern weight. Soft tone-on-tone scenery balances the strong silhouettes — old-world atmosphere meets contemporary restraint.
After
After Transformation
The hand-painted scenery encourages the eye to wander, lowering visual tension and inviting longer, slower meals. Cooler tones and a single luminous globe pendant create the kind of soft, even light that supports gathering and conversation.
