Designing a tuscan dining room

A tuscan dining room blends the tuscan look — sun-warmed + grounded, cotto, lime plaster, walnut, travertine — 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.

Tuscan dining room palette

Allow cotto to provide the warm base, then use lime and travertine across larger vertical surfaces. Keep walnut concentrated and introduce olive as the cooling accent.

Color roles

Limewash

Reflects daylight and keeps warm floors from making the room visually dense.

Cotto

The earthen anchor for floors, used with natural variation rather than uniform orange.

Olive leaf

Cools terracotta through one textile, cabinet or ceramic accent.

Walnut

Adds structural depth to doors, tables and work furniture.

Travertine

A quieter stone note for benches, worktops and thresholds.
