Figure G-- The major obstacle with this dining room its large dining-hall appearance. The use of ceiling treatments, rich paints, and intimate furniture help make the room more intimate.
Figure H-- Rich gold paint shrinks the size of the room. A ceiling design is also added to bring the ceiling "down," which also makes the room feel smaller.
Figure I-- An oversize dining table is placed in the dining room to help diminish the grandness of the room. The table was upholstered to reduce the amount of light, thus making the room look less spacious.
