Are you serving martinis these days? I have a few ideas about your dining room. Right now
it could double as a conference room and I am not sure if that is what you dislike. I would
guess that you like to foster discussion/debate around the table and the conversations
require focus. If you were to paint a dramatic scene or landscape around the room it would
have to rival that of the Vatican to match the quality of the rest of your house and the
stature of the guests you plan to entertain. An environment such as that would put all of
the focus on the surroundings and not on the table or the participants at it. My suggestion
would instead be to build out architectural elements in the room to frame magnificent works
of art that exemplify the unspoken passion and concentration of the artist. You will provoke
and foster an intensity of thought and interest to take place in the room as opposed to the
room being the focus. The architectural design will bring drama and intimacy(in to c me) with
lighting focused on the art and the table. That is just a taste of my thoughts. I have it
pictured in my mind's eye and it is quite impressive.
