Inside Our Dining Room Design Board | Model Home Design Series

Pre-Construction floor plans have their pros and cons. On one hand, it is a blank slate. Most floor plans are rectangle in shape, with even walls and ceilings.

But there is usually one thing missing from any pre-construction floor plan-character! Our developer clients have asked us to take the cookie-cutter layout and style it into one that feels luxurious, elegant and something clients would be inspired by.

A SNEAK PEAK OF A DESIGN PORTFOLIO WE DESIGNED FOR A DEVELOPER CLIENT.

THE GOAL: CREATE AN ELEGANT AND LUXURIOUS DINING ROOM FROM A GENERIC PRE-CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT.

The main inspiration for these designs came from historic European architecture, specifically Roman and Parisian visuals. There are a few pieces in our portfolio that are directly within this design style, with the colour palette, bulk pieces and artwork creating subtle nods to this aesthetic.

THE DESIGN BOARDS

Inside The Two Design Boards Created For The Model Home’s Formal Dining Room

When styling a model home, it is imperative that the design elements be attractive to a variety of tastes, so we aimed for a neutral design palette.

Our design style at Two7East tends to be neutral and less trendy, as that is our preference. In this design, we knew that a neutral colour palette was the most important element to the space.

A model home is going to invite all types of clients who have their own style and preferences. The goal is to allow them to see the character of the space with a beautifully curated style, but still picture themselves having Sunday dinners in the space without the design feeling foreign.

We create two design styles with similar aesthetics but key differences. The first option is a bit more traditional than the second.

We went with a more traditional dining table for the first option. The beautiful table is from Structube, and made of 100% recycled timber. For the second option, we chose a round table, also from Structube, made of the ever popular material, mango wood.
