Rich and Cozy

A rich brick-red color surrounds this cozy dining room to give an instant feeling of warmth. The stark white, molded-plastic chairs and white ceiling make the space feel open while keeping it intimate, and the whimsical red berry-printed light fixture is carried through to the adjacent living room window treatments for a unified look.

With fall comes cooler weather and shorter days. That means daylight instantly becomes a rare commodity until spring rolls around. Take advantage of early nightfall and embrace the darkness by lighting scented candles around the house. The candlelit ambiance will help relieve stress and anxiety after a long day at work.
