A Look at 30 Dining Rooms in Vogue

Warm yellow walls and drapes add a lively note to jewelry designer Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s dining room. Isabelle Townsend and Patrick Deedes-Vincke’s dining room strikes a clean, modern note with a Saarinen marble-topped table and a mix of vintage and new Arne Jacobsen chairs. Photographer François Halard gets creative in the dining room of his downtown New York City loft by fashioning a table out of two 1930s-era column planters. The pink ensembles worn by Emma Hanbury and her daughters stand out against the “classic English country house” motif of evergreen walls and dog portraits in the dining room of Wembury House, Devon, U.K. David Netto and Ione Skye’s New York apartment featured a lamp on the 1850s Anglo-Indian table from Niall Smith, which allowed the space to do double duty as an area for eating and reading. Consuelo and Gianni Castiglioni, the dynamic duo behind Marni, escape to dine in the rustic, light-filled loggia at their home in Formentera, Spain. Eight weeks out of the year, Gela Nash-Taylor decamps to her Elizabethan estate in Wiltshire, where she dines alfresco in her loggia beneath a 19th-century Sicilian chandelier. The main dining room in the former old chapel at Trasierra, a small hotel in Andalusia, Spain. Sloan Barnett’s streamlined Peter Marino–designed Napa Valley dining room, punctuated by a large arrangement of branches and a Thomas Flechtner photograph. A modern custom Christophe Delcourt and gray lacquered chairs contrast with historic details in the late L’Wren Scott’s Parisian apartment. In Lauren Santo Domingo’s Paris apartment, the Catroux-designed circa-1970s table converts into a bar for parties. In Daniel Romualdez’s Connecticut dining room, the designer uses 17th-century Dutch Delft peacock china both to set the table and decorate the walls. A slew of mixed prints—including a length of Mantero silk brocade on the table—play well together in the dining room of Ringenhof, Dries Van Noten’s 19th-century home in Belgium. A locally made dining table and Pottery Barn director’s chairs echo the breezy simplicity of India Hicks and David Flint Wood’s Harbor Island guesthouse. Serena Rees and Joe Corre, cofounders of Agent Provocateur, set off their London dining room with an Ann Carrington royal portrait made of safety pins and a modern pink dining set designed by Denton Corker Marshall for Edra. Isabella and Colin Cawdor’s daughter Beatrice takes tea surround by pink walls, black-and-white geometrics, and an Egyptian chandelier in the Cawdor’s London town house. In Jacqueline Sackler’s Amagansett dining room, a Patrice Dangel chandelier hovers above the custom Mattia Bonetti lacquered-wood dining table. Hand-painted Gracie wallpaper stands out against sleek furnishings by François Bauchet and Martin Szekely in Annette and Matt Lauer’s Sag Harbor home. A 19th-century mahogany dining set and pink walls dominate in the high-ceilinged dining room in Brooke de Ocampo’s Argentine home. In Morocco, India Jane Birley fills her large dining room with chairs found in India and a large Art Deco oak table. The traditional Moroccan doors provide a tantalizing glimpse of the pink library. In Plum Sykes’s New York apartment, 1950s faux bamboo chairs from a Paris flea market, an antique chandelier, and Cole & Son Egerton wallpaper create a feminine, eclectic feel. The red walls in Amanda Harlech’s country home in Shropshire echo the antique hunting coats belonging to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, the Harlech children’s grandfather. The 19th-century chandelier was found at North Shropshire Reclamation & Antique Salvage. The spare dining room in Alexandra and Michael Misczynski’s Hollywood Hills home features both a George III bookcase and 16th-century table from Axel Vervoordt, Antwerp. In Janet de Botton’s dining room in the South of France, the provincial Louis XV canvas panels were found at Monluc, Paris, and the Louis XVI chairs, in their original Aubusson tapestry, were discovered at Christie’s, London. In the formal dining room of the Fifth Avenue Vanderbilt mansion, photographed for Vogue in 1941, the walls feature soft green Regence paneling, and the drapes and chairs are done in coordinating Venetian velvet. The coziness of the upholstered walls in the dining room of the late interior designers Robert Denning and Vincent Fourcade is nicely offset by the Art Deco red lacquered table. In Christopher and Suzanne Sharp’s London dining room, a Kelly Wearstler rug mixes with a wrought-iron chandelier from Cairo and 19th-century farm table and chairs from Paere Dansk. Blue and white set a traditional tone in the otherwise exotic Mexican dining room of Mr. and Mrs. Loel Guinness. In the dining room of Valentino’s home in Rome—photographed here in 1974—the designer created an exotic feeling by tenting the space in a broad striped fabric. In the Bois de Boulogne home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, seen here in 1964, French chinoiserie wallpaper mixes with a traditional dining set, designed by the Duchess.
