DC Apartment
Well done without going minimal
Simple and understated, this piece would look fantastic if used to separate a kitchen and living area in a studio apartment — not to mention, it adds a bit of extra storage space for some basic food supplies.

So the designers presented a custom-wall-paint idea that mimicked the shapes and lines of the chandelier and chairs. The homeowners loved the proposal but were nervous about its execution.Forbes and Masters felt confident they could get away with such a bold design on the wall. The average wainscoting goes up only 30 to 36 inches, but this dining room had wainscoting that was 60 inches tall.
