Glitzy Affair: How to achieve refined elegance

Redoing your dining room to suit your refined and mature sensibilities? Here’s a healthy dose of inspiration from a New Delhi homestead.

Nothing spells elegance more than a long dark wooden table accompanied by taupe dinner chairs with gold rivets. Another trick of the trade is to smartly play with levels – suspend a low-hanging chandelier over the table and place a relatively tall centerpiece on the table.

To further add vibrancy to the subtly coloured room, turn to nature. Tall potted plants instill instant cheer.
