Designer Tidbits

This Minneapolis dining room is a favorite — read about the design strategies we implemented below:

• Sometimes it's the finish that puts the statement in "Statement fixtures".

• Consider matching your drapes to your walls. Adds softness, volume, and interest, quietly

• Think about proportion. These tall skinny buffet lamps draw the eye up--and don't block the view.

• Display finds from your travels. They make for a collected look.

• Repeat shapes for cohesion. Though different brands and finishes, the dining table and chairs are united by this ball detail.

• One graphic pattern goes a long way in a room full of solids.
