Formal dining rooms with a lot of panache

The crisp look of blue walls and white trim makes a statement of contrast. Whether or not a special technique was used on the blue walls, white trim asserts clean lines of delineation.Furniture in dark wood tones such as cherry and mahogany are usually chosen for formal rooms such as the dinning room and look right at home all year long when surrounded by blue and white, regardless of the shade of blue.
