THE SILVER LINING ON A TRADITIONAL DINING ROOM

I’m not a total traditionalist when it comes to decor…not traditional at all. BTW, When COCOCOZY has been written up, my style has been called “eclectic”…”eclectic” to me always sounds like a bit of a kooky descriptor…doesn’t that just mean “all over the place” when it comes to decor? Hmmm….

I think though I do like a mixture of classic and modern – a blend of sorts.

This dining room is totally traditional but I like it – it doesn’t adhere to my decor preference of “blending” styles and leaning a bit more towards the bold and modern. It caught my eye though as I was looking through the portfolio of New York interior designer Meg Braff. She is known for making traditional feel young. This does feel like a fresh version of traditional!

Love the silvery greys in this space…I love the rich grey chairs with the white trim and I LOVE THE CHANDELIER!

    What a gorgeous room! It is bright and airy, perfect for a champagne brunch, but I bet it gets glamorous when the sun goes down, making it the perfect locale for a sexy dinner party.

    I really love the size of that table. Hoping I have one like that some day. Actually, round is great for I big table, I think, but the dimensions of this one also seem good for the space.

    Who says grey is boring!? This room is gorgeous. I agree with you Coco, it has a lot of traditional elements to it, but I think the grey makes it appeal to the classic modern style I love!

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
