This is the first of 3 posts where I write about how I design and build my own luxury glam dining room. If you would like to learn more about the project, follow along on my blog.
My design aesthetic started out as a simple and traditional room in my house. But then I started to question what that meant. So I began to investigate different styles, materials, colors and finishes. In my current room, I’m trying to get it right.
To give you an idea of the type of room I am talking about, I’ve used a number of different materials and styles, including marble and granite, hardwood and laminate, and my own hand painted walls. I love how this room looks. I don’t think I have to do a whole lot to make it beautiful though. The room is simply a great place to relax, read, and cook.
I think the room really works its way into the decor by the time it’s completed. I am also trying to work on some color schemes for the kitchen and dining room. I am trying to bring some of the colors of the room to the dining room, but make sure they look good on a flat surface.
I am also starting to think about a bedroom. I am currently brainstorming about what colors I would like for it. I would also like to change the colors on the walls as well, because I like how they look overall. I do like the colors of the room, but don’t think any of them are right. I also like the colors I have now, but I have to keep in mind that I’m in the process of re-paring the flooring.
The whole point of this room is to present a bright, vibrant, and airy space with a high ceilings and wide windows. I would love to have the walls be a little more muted. Something that isnt so bright yet looks great.
The whole point of a “luxury” room like this is to get away from the drab and make it feel like you’re on vacation. But if you’re going to do this, you’ll want to make sure that you’re not wasting your time. As it turns out, this room takes place in a massive mansion. It’s on the third floor, and its in the basement.
The mansion’s owner is a very wealthy man whose wealth comes from his oil company and whose family is actually very rich. He wants to get the room completely furnished. Of course, the room has to use oil. So the owners have hired professional interior designers to transform the room into an oil-filled glamorous space. We can’t get too graphic though, because the designers are having a lot of fun with the whole thing.
To say that the designers are having fun with the whole thing is an understatement. In the video below, the designers give us a tour of their creation, which is quite lovely and tastefully appointed. The way they took the space and made it feel like the owners would love to have it is really impressive.
