Dining Rooms with a Coastal Touch

Natural Ornamentation

To bring the beach into your dining room, hang a shell-crusted chandelier. Keep the sand-and-sea theme going with neutral table linens and blue dishes. At dinner parties, forgo matched settings for ones that look thrown together on a whim.

Idea Spotlight
