Dining room
One wall is painted with blackboard paint so family and friends can leave messages for each other. This neat wall of paint gives the dining room a real bistro mood, while still retaining its elegance. Copy out the day's menu, or why not chalk up some cocktail recipes and invite friends round to try them? If you're looking for a classic scheme, you can't go wrong with a monochrome colour palette.
