One of the most asked about rooms from the Denner project is easily Daryl-Ann Denner's dining room. Walking into the nuuds founder and Dallas influencer's house, this is the first area you see, and man oh man, does it make a statement! Custom commissioned furniture and art made this a one-of-a-kind space. Keep scrolling to see!

Daryl-Ann Denner's Dining Room
This dining space is all about texture. Since we were working in a space that doesn't traditionally have textiles, we used the furniture and lighting design to achieve this look. We enlisted brilliant local craftsman, Willie Graeber, to build this custom table (actually several tables throughout the home). It's got a fantastic base with a reeded detail and is long enough to seat up to 12 people. Daryl-Ann and Dan already owned this set of dining chairs, and there was no question that we should keep these in the design! We hung a gesso plaster painted chandelier above the set.
The star of the show is this gallery wall of custom commissioned art by L.Adorah. The artwork features the couple's vows and Psalm 91 made to look as timeworn letters. They are so beautiful, so textural, and so very personal, and we think they're the absolute perfect finishing touch on the Denner's dining room.
Arched Entry
If you haven't caught on yet, every aspect of this home needed to feel organic from the moment you walked through the front door. We were inspired by things that come from the earth, so we've got a lot of texture at play in a layered, neutral color palette. This theme paired with modern forms, like the round-top front doors and archways, set the backdrop for the design.
Black windows complemented the Benjamin Moore White Dove painted walls for this neutral interior design.
Modern Minimalist Powder Bath
The powder bath, tucked just off the formal living room and dining room, kept the textural theme just as strongly as the other rooms. We added the most incredible travertine sconces along with a pill-shaped mirror above the reeded oak floating vanity topped with a black stone vessel sink. Not shown: the toilet with a heated seat. I now need one in every bathroom in my home – ha!

The attention to detail in your dining room reveal is impressive, and your design explanations were very clear. I recently saw a feature on https://gocollectiv.com/ highlighting creative interior transformations, and it offered some complementary ideas that resonate well with your approach.
This was extremely helpful and practical. The mistakes you highlighted are things people often overlook, and explaining them so clearly adds real value. I came across a similar homeowner discussion on ninexpower, https://www.ninexpower.com and both perspectives complement each other nicely.
your styling and attention to detail in the Denner dining room are inspirational! I appreciated the thoughtful commentary on design choices and how each piece contributes to the space. I also came across a related conversation on a samedaydiplomas review blog about creating spaces that feel personal and functional, which added another nice layer to think about.
Such a lovely reveal — I loved how you described the textures, custom elements, and personal touches that make the Denner dining room feel inviting and authentic. The combination of neutral tones and meaningful commissioned art really brought the space to life. I recently came across a similar discussion on a rosedalewellness review blog https://www.rosedalewellness.com/ that also highlighted how thoughtful details can elevate a room’s atmosphere. Beautiful inspiration!
