After 18 months of dreaming, designing, and decision-making, this new-build project is nearly complete—and the dining room just might be our favorite moment in the entire home. Nestled into a quiet neighborhood surrounded by evergreens, this house needed a design that reflected the natural beauty right outside its windows. So we brought the forest in.
This custom wallpaper mural adds a dramatic and grounded focal point to the dining space, making it feel like an extension of the landscape. The hand-drawn trees in warm browns, soft blacks, and misty greys echo the tones of the wood floors and ceiling trim, creating a cohesive and calming palette. Oversized in scale and rich in texture, this mural transforms the room into a destination—ideal for long dinners, big conversations, and celebrations that stretch into the evening.
We anchored the space with a modern chandelier in matte black and brushed brass, which plays beautifully with the organic shapes of the mural while adding structure and glow. A wall like this doesn’t need much else—just good company and maybe a beautiful dining table to gather around.
For anyone building or remodeling, adding a mural like this is an intuitive way to define a dining space without adding bulk. It adds depth, character, and conversation-starting charm—all while feeling timeless and tailored to the home’s setting.
If you’re drawn to organic modern style, love a little woodland whimsy, or want your dining space to feel elevated and earthy, this is your sign to go bold with your walls.
