The dining room in a 1920s bungalow in Westerly, Rhode Island, is the focal point of the home, as it serves as the access point to both the screened porch and deck. Designed by Kaitlin Smith Interiors, the space features existing nickel gap paneling that sets a relaxed, preppy tone perfect for entertaining. Distressed robin’s-egg blue chairs and an American black walnut farm table from a local craftsman add a comfortable and functional touch. The tablescape mixes old and new elements, including iconic Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates and block printed napkins. A chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting, Sister Parish linen drapery fabric, and a wicker urn from Highpoint Home add character and greenery to the space. The designer emphasizes the importance of supporting local businesses and incorporating personal touches into the design. With a mix of color, pattern, and texture, the dining room exudes a welcoming and impactful atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
