Dining rooms reward warm, conversational pieces — work that gives people something to look at between courses. The deeper palettes in the collection (Blood Moon, Brick and Mortar, Cheesecake, Maui) work particularly well in dining-room light.
What to Look For
- ◆Hang the centerline lower than in a living room (54–56") since people are seated
- ◆Warm tones complement candlelight and warm bulbs
- ◆Mid-scale pieces (30×40" to 30×48") work well above a buffet or sideboard
- ◆Heavy-texture work plays beautifully in dim, warm dining-room lighting
If your dining room shares an open floor plan with the kitchen, pick a piece that pairs with both. Brick and Mortar is a popular crossover for open-plan homes — earthy enough for the kitchen, rich enough for the dining table.
