Olivia Culpo's dining room uses a calming color scheme

We can count on Olivia Culpo to embody timeless style, and her dining room is no exception. The lifestyle expert’s gorgeous table setting proves that “neutral” doesn’t have to mean boring. Through a beautiful combination of texture, contrast, and pops of color, Culpo adds a twist to a cozy and relaxing palette.

Culpo’s dining room is a stylish celebration of warm neutrals. A cozy jute rug rests on her warm wood floors. White walls with a black and white gallery wall and black marble sconces draw the eye throughout the room and perfectly complement the black and glass pendant light. In the center of the room, Culpo’s rectangular dining table is covered with a long linen tablecloth that matches her plush linen chairs. The tablecloth is accessorized with pink candles at different heights, florals, and dark napkins that complete the entire look. It’s a modern, luxurious take on a neutral color scheme.

Most of Culpo’s summer table decor came from one of her favorite retailers: Crate & Barrel. In fact, she loves the brand so much that she signed up for her wedding there. Culpo says Houses & Gardens: “One big reason I think people should sign up with Crate & Barrel is the extensive product categories. I love that Crate & Barrel is truly a whole-home store. There are also so many exclusive kitchen and tabletop items in so many beautiful colors that feel unique and match any design style.”

She continues, “You can also sign up for new bedding, towels, and the prettiest decor pieces to decorate your room. The Crate & Barrel Ophelia Vase on my list adds so much value to a room.”

The modern decor feel of Culpo’s space is expressed in the minimalist combination of white and wood. From the white walls to the white of the pictures on the walls, the entire back half of the room feels reflective. Exposed beams on the ceiling and the flowers on the table contrast this modern look with natural accents for a contemporary energy.

If you want to recreate Culpo’s dining table style, you’ll want to start with a neutral base and work from there. She breaks everything down into layers, starting with the basics of a beige linen tablecloth layered with white plates and bowls. From there, gold flatware and chocolate brown napkins bring a sense of warmth and character to the space. Candlesticks in bronze and black complement the dark tones in the gallery wall behind her, adding to the unified feel. Pink, orange and yellow flowers and candles add a refreshing pop of color.

By visualizing these three layers—the basics, the unifying elements, and the pizzazz—in your own home, you can easily recreate the timeless style of this look.

Neutral colors are the perfect base for a beautiful space, but taking them to the next level requires careful attention to texture, shape and contrast. Olivia Culpo’s dining room is a masterpiece in the use of color.
