EATING AREA? The box cushion has a top, a bottom and four sides. The sides are called the boxing, and can be from 1 inch to 10 or more inches deep, depending on the overall size and use of the cushion. This banquette has box cushions for both the seating and on top of it. Keep in mind that the seat cushion will flatten in half when you sit on it, so be generous with your measurements.

A Denver kitchen nook takes on a dramatic yet playful backdrop thanks to a brilliant collage of patterned Cuban tile. An asymmetrical assemblage works especially well in contrast to the tight symmetry of the space, and the wall area covered by the tile is just enough to host a beautiful collage without overwhelming. This is patchwork tile perfection in my book. Tip: Choosing tile for your home can be overwhelming on account of the endless sea of options. Focusing on a patterned tile that you love (and might use sparingly) could be a great starting point for choosing a color palette and a style direction.

Sienna Dining Table

Q

Photo

The more textured and patterned an object is, the heavier it looks. Keep this in mind when choosing a dining table. If you're looking for a solid wood table in your traditional dining room, a textured table like this one will appear much larger than a smooth wood table with no pattern or texture — even if both are exactly the same size.

Q

Photo

The lighter the color of an object, the lighter it will appear in weight. White chairs paired with a deep, dark dining table look visually lightweight. Cover these same chairs in a dark brown or deep purple and they will appear denser and heavier. If you're afraid that a solid wood table will look too heavy, pairing it with a light fabric scheme will maintain an airy feel that's anchored by the table.

Q

Playing with a variety of textures is an easy way to create contrast in a room. This cozy dining room is an excellent example of mixing textures. The ceiling and chandelier are shiny and glamorous, while the leather adds masculinity. The dark wood on the table and the table legs ground the lighter colors.

Q

Photo

Pattern on the ceiling makes the ceiling feel lower, and pattern on the walls makes the room look smaller. In a dining room that feels too large to be inviting, adding pattern to the walls and ceiling can be helpful.

Q

Photo

Paneled walls are a fantastic way to incorporate texture and interest into a room without adding unwanted color. The vertical pattern of the paneling in this room makes the space appear taller.

Q

Photo

Textures and materials can really define tone and personality. Here, unabashedly traditional chairs, china and crystal get an infusion of casual livability from the rattan shade.

Q

Photo

A painting over a fireplace — if you're lucky enough to have one — is a classic way to add art to your traditional decor scheme. Flanking a beautiful oil with sconces frames the art and adds light to the room.

Q

Photo

Because the dining room often lacks the same number of decorative elements as other rooms, a painting that covers an entire wall becomes an incredible focal point that defines the space.

Q

Photo

When possible, built-ins are a practical storage option doubling as wall art. They are an ideal place to display beautiful china and glasses that coordinate with the decor. Or, if you want to get creative, books and photos can add an unexpected touch in a traditional dining room.

Q

Photo

While a gorgeous chandelier is generally the main lighting in a traditional dining room, it certain isn't the only lighting to consider. Can or pin lights can illuminate certain areas to ensure that no corners are dark. GOLD niche in ceiling??

Q

Photo

Built-in cabinets for china storage can be a dining room's crowing glory. To make sure treasures don't go out of view during candlelit suppers, install pin lights in the arches so that your favorite pieces shine no matter what the time of day.

SWEDISH DINING ROOM?

Play with accent lights for style. Don't forget about accent lighting when planning your living room. Sconces are a fabulous touch that can show off a painting, a focal point or a special accessory by directing attention to a specific spot.

Q

The curves of these Windsor chairs complement the lines of the table. The contrast of the stark white of the kitchen and the warm wood of the table and chairs is wonderful.

Q

We adore Tolix chairs, especially when they are the touch of black in the room. The color is a fabulous choice when you're looking for contrast but think white is too light.

Vincent van Gogh was a particular admirer of yellow. In 1888 he wrote to his sister from the South of France: "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" Surely the sun makes us all feel better. There is nothing quite like a warm yellow for creating a Mediterranean aesthetic with terra-cotta tiles and warm woods, as shown here.

LOVE THE LEATHER COVERED CHAIRS The dining room, positioned to enjoy the expansive view, is a study in motion, with sinuous Slither chairs upholstered in leather dancing around the solid wood table. The hand-stitched leather gives the chairs’ modern silhouette a rustic yet elegant look as well as warmth. The pendants again speak to Carlson and Perry’s devotion to contrasts. “We love the juxtaposition of the cotton pleated interior and the hard blown-glass exterior,” Carlson says of the lighting, “the juxtaposition of hard and soft, modern and a more hand-rendered feeling.” Dining chairs: Costa Slither, Jayson Home; light fixtures: Mercer pendant, Joan Gaspar and Javier M. Borras for Marset
