The Look: A Beautiful Balancing Act
The Designer: Gaile Guevara, Gaile Guevara Studio

It's a real trick to create a space that's both casual and sophisticated, but Vancouver designer Gaile Guevara has accomplished just that in this dining room. The burgundy upholstered seats are simple, but the rich fabric adds texture and depth to the otherwise light and airy space. And with only six dining chairs€”intentionally fewer than what could
actually fit at the extra-large table€”guests have plenty of room to settle in for after-dinner conversations.
