Style Full oF 3

Elevate a rustic dining room by intertwining subtle touches of glam. Give Lori’s seven savvy style ideas a try in your own home.

1

Hang a vintage crystal chandelier above a chippy painted table surrounded by mismatched seating.

2

Lay down a worn Asianpatterned area rug to establish a border for the dining area. Deck the tabletop with carved wooden pillars and flameless candles for a safe, romantic glow.

4

Call attention to dishware, pastries or faux botanicals by crowning them with clear glass cloches.

5

Overfill a compote or punch bowl with a bounty of mini creamers and display it on a nearby shelf.

6

Dress windows with café shutters topped with dropcloth valances bunched with burlap strips.

7

Line up a parade of topiaries in terra-cotta pots—artificial is just fine.

A vintage metal crib with one side removed inspired Lori to create this sweet seating area in her home office. She layered the crib in textured white linens and positioned a kneeling bench and mismatched side tables around it.
