Transitional Dining Room by Stephaine Nickolson:

A recent shoot with veteran interior designer Stephanie Nickolson in an beautiful, mature home—remodeling focused here on the dining room.

Stephanie selected a textured wallpaper with a subtle golden vein running through the pattern, which establishes a warm, refined focal point. A bespoke sideboard with a substantial granite top grounds the room, its weight and materiality balancing the delicate texture of the walls. The custom dining table and upholstered chairs provide both comfort and functional flow for everyday use and entertaining.

A gold dish-and-ball chandelier echoes the wallpaper’s vein, unifying the palette and adding a soft metallic shimmer overhead. Handmade draperies are tailored to perfectly frame the window, moderating light and completing the transitional composition between traditional and contemporary elements.

Photographed to emphasize texture, scale, and layered finishes—more from Stephanie Nickolson coming soon.
