Dining Room

Townhouse Dining Room Chic

October 29, 2019
  • Share

Today I’m covering an incredible Manhattan townhouse dining room. Created by legendary interior designer Sheila Bridges, this dining room is expertly designed! The home is extremely luxe and refined in style. The dining room stood out to me because of its unique design. The mix of colors, styles, and furniture creates a completely unique space. Instead of just showing you the dining room – I paired fall dresses to wear to a gathering at this home. Whether brunch, a long afternoon lunch, or a formal dinner these are the perfect dresses to wear! 

A WEEKEND BRUNCH

This view of the dining room is full of light and showcases the china cabinet. This corner of the room is a very artistic and curated feeling. The multi-colored curtains add the perfect amount of color and softness to the room. I love the warm maple dining room table – It beautifully brightens the room. The chairs are a great design and balance the bulkiness of the china cabinet well. 

 

When I saw this photo I immediately thought of a weekend brunch sitting next to these large windows. Coffee, tea, scones, and a full breakfast assortment to share with a handful of close to friends.

Johanna Ortiz – Exclusive On Your Horizon One-Shoulder Cotton Midi Dress | Aje – Overture Laced Ballet Maxi Dress

 

A fall brunch calls for a pop of warm color. This one-shoulder Johanna Ortiz dress is the perfect pick for a dressy brunch. The shape is very formal but, the color and fabric add just the right amount of casual to the dress. The voluminous sleeve creates a beautiful shape in conjunction with the end of the dress.

 

If orange isn’t your thing this white Aje dress is a great option. This dress also is the perfect combination of dressy + casual. The bold shoulders/arms are very in style and create a shape that highlights your waist! I love the smooth silhouette.

A CHIC LUNCH

This view of the dining room is much grander. The chandelier, high ceilings, and molding create a luxurious feeling. The two tall windows are perfectly framed by floor-length curtains and cast a sensational light onto the dining room table. The small painting between the windows adds the perfect touch of color and art to the room.

 

When looking at this image I think of a relaxing long afternoon lunch with family or friends. Snacking on a variety of salads, sandwiches, and a light dessert while catching up.

Sea – Monet Floral-Print Cotton-Poplin Midi Dress | Saloni – Bianca Baroque-Print Silk Midi Dress

 

A late afternoon lunch is relaxing and energizing. I knew these dresses had to have a bit more excitement to them – more of a statement. The midi dress with statement sleeve is a huge trend right now with good reason – it looks amazing on everyone. 

 

First up a floral print dress by Sea. The mix of light pink and a bold pink is amazing in this dress. The pattern and color combination is so eye-catching! The higher neckline and sleeves make this dress a bit more formal. The second dress is a darling patterned dress by Saloni. I love the silhouette. It looks like it accentuates the waist area beautifully. The mix of green and pink creates an interesting and subtle pattern combination. Both of these dresses would look amazing with booties, kitten heels, or sneakers.

A DRESSY DINNER PARTY

On the other side of the dining room is a formal fireplace. The all-white fireplace looks incredible in contrast to the painting, decor, and interior of the fireplace. The molding has a simple and regal look. The blue and yellow tile flooring add an interesting twist to the room by providing some color and pattern. This small hint really livens up the area.

 

Looking at this area I immediately think about sipping some elaborate cocktails in front of the fireplace before a dressy dinner party with friends. A great space to catch up and unwind while snacking on some appetizers.

Proenza Schouler -Printed Silk-Blend Midi Dress | Johanna Ortiz – Ring of Fire Cotton – Blend Maxi Shirt Dress

 

For the dinner portion, these dresses are a bit more formal but equally as fun! First up is a long sleeve piece from Proenza Schouler. The colors and pattern of this dress are exciting and luxurious. The mock turtle neck and slim bodice give this dress a refined look. 

 

Next up is a stunning dress from Johanna Ortiz. This maxi shirt dress becomes formal thanks to the sheen of the fabric and the detail of the garment. The v-neck followed by a tie creates a focal point. The statement long sleeves also add a layer of drama to this dress. Both of these dresses would look incredible with a classis heel!

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. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

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.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
