Why It Works

Mediterranean dining rooms are designed for long, lingering meals. A heavy wood table that seats the whole family, wrought iron chandelier with candle-style lights, and a sideboard displaying painted ceramics create a space that celebrates food and togetherness. Stone floors and arched openings frame the scene with architectural warmth.
