Use code PEGGYH15 on any full-price Scout & Nimble items | Dining room design mistakes I've seen WAY too often 👀 (and how you can dodge them!): Skipping softness: Hard surfaces everywhere? Hello, echo chamber! Add textiles and upholstered chairs to bring warmth and coziness. Lighting missteps: One dim overhead light is not a vibe. Layer your lighting for comfort and ambiance. Ignoring scale: Too big? Too small? Furniture that doesn't fit the space ruins your flow (and your dinner parties). Not mixing materials: Matchy-matchy feels dated fast. Blend wood, metals, textiles, and textures for depth and interest. Want to see how it's done RIGHT?
