Interior: Charming dining room with wallpaper (Studio ALC)

April 06, 2024 in Interiors

Studio ALC transformed this dining room, but kept some of the home’s original charm and features which is what the homeowner wanted. The patterned wall treatment, along with the L-shaped banquette makes the corner of the room feel like cute restaurant. The soft tones and tufted back of the banquette is spacious, perfect for a small or large group.

To finish off the room, the decor is a mix of vintage pieces, art, and old family photos of the homeowner’s relatives, adding a personal touch.

This dining room reminds me of a cozy corner table at a popular bistro in town, where you could spend hours with friends enjoying a good meal over laughs. Except this spot is in your home and you can get a table every night.
