Designing a transitional glam dining room

A transitional glam dining room blends the transitional glam look — balanced + polished, walnut, linen, nickel — with layouts and details that suit a dining room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Transitional Glam dining room palette

Use ivory and greige across the architecture, walnut to anchor major furniture, and blue-gray on one textile family. Nickel should catch light without becoming a dominant color.

Color roles

Warm ivory

Keeps molding and upholstery light without the coldness of stark white.

Balanced greige

Connects pale stone, taupe wool and painted millwork.

Blue-gray velvet

A restrained color accent suited to benches, dining chairs or grasscloth.

Dark walnut

Adds traditional gravity and prevents an all-neutral room from floating.

Polished nickel

A cool, crisp highlight for lighting and hardware used in small areas.
