A tropical chinoiserie dining room makes a dramatic statement in dark sapphire blue and gold . Hand painted Fromental panels were custom colored with bits of “ hot coral ” that was also selected for the chair velvet . The client ’ s antique sideboard and consoles give the space patina while the papier-mâché chandelier , klismos-style chairs , and classic round table help modernize the underlying classic traditional mood . “ The room was designed to take you on a journey to another place while you are in it ,” says Gray .
