A Club-Like Dining Room With Red Travertine and Curved Timber Walls
Irish interiors firm Anam Design Studio has overhauled a home in East Sussex, where a red travertine kitchen and a dark dining room with rounded timber walls form the heart of the house, alongside tactile stone surfaces and deep wood tones.
The Moonza view
A dark, intimate dining room, unlike bright open spaces, feels private and formal, like an old members’ club. Combining stone and dark timber, two materials that both read as precious, creates a lasting, luxurious room.
The mood suits private hospitality rooms in companies, executive dining rooms and upscale restaurants. Upholstered or dark leather dining chairs and a heavy timber table, with warm pendant light, complete the look. In a dark room, the quality of lighting is decisive.
- For a formal yet intimate room, combine dark timber and stone
- Upholstered dining chairs improve comfort for long meals
- In dark spaces, warm focused light over the table is essential
