I want this room in my house

This dining room captures a timeless, cottage-inspired elegance. Every detail feels considered: from the layered textures and soft color palette to the striking wallpaper that anchors the space. The result is warm, inviting, and effortlessly refined.

Design highlights

  • Wallpaper as a focal point: The patterned wall covering brings character and rhythm to the room while complementing the furnishings.
  • Thoughtful color palette: Muted neutrals mixed with subtle accents create a calm, cohesive atmosphere that works for both everyday dining and special occasions.
  • Attention to detail: From carefully chosen textiles to curated accessories, the small elements add depth and personality without feeling cluttered.
  • Cottage charm with modern polish: Traditional touches—such as the wood tones and soft upholstery—are balanced by cleaner lines and contemporary finishes for a fresh, livable look.

About the project

This room was styled by interior designer Charity Swanson Buchika of Elan Interior Design. The wallpaper featured is Lacarno from Harlequin. The images were photographed by Alice G. Patterson. The overall composition showcases how a strong wallpaper choice, paired with balanced color and texture, can transform a dining room into a cozy, elegant retreat.

If you’re inspired by this design, consider starting with one standout element—like a patterned wallpaper or a signature light fixture—and build the palette and accessories around it. That approach helps create a cohesive room without overwhelming the senses.
