Dining in Style: Texture, Shape & Light

Dining in Style: Texture, Shape & Light

There's something magical about a dining space that doesn't just serve dinner—it serves drama. At The Mint Julep in Rockwall, Texas, we believe your home should tell a story, and that story starts with pieces that speak to both comfort and character. Whether you're refreshing a corner nook or curating your forever dining room, our newest arrivals were designed to bring artful living to your everyday.

Here's how to elevate your dining room with the latest trends in texture, sculptural design, and statement décor.

Embrace the Texture Trend

Textured fabrics are taking over—and for good reason. Our new Rose Dining Chair and Laurel Dining Chair feature rich, tactile materials that instantly soften a space and invite guests to stay a little longer.

From plush bouclé to woven finishes, these chairs add dimension to neutral palettes and look stunning paired with wood, marble, or mixed-material tables.

Designer Tip: Use textured chairs at the heads of the table for a collected, intentional look.

Mix Materials Like a Pro

Organic meets modern in our Brue Dining Chair and Conifer Dining Chair—two standout pieces that combine walnut wood, faux leather, and sleek silhouettes.

Mixing materials isn't just on trend—it's a way to ground your space with natural textures while adding contrast and depth. These chairs work just as well in a moody dining room as they do in a minimalist kitchen breakfast nook.

Choose Tables That Start Conversations

Your dining table is the heart of the room, and we're here for pieces that make an entrance.

Meet the Riverside 94" Oval Dining Table—a sculptural showstopper in warm light tobacco wood. Prefer a round silhouette? The Diana 60" Dining Table offers architectural elegance with a stunning pedestal base that plays with light and shadow.

Pro Styling Tip: Pair either option with a textured rug and an oversized pendant light for a major editorial vibe.

Make Your Walls Work Harder

Blank walls are a missed opportunity. Add depth and personality with fine art that reflects your mood.

The Swoon Framed Canvas is ethereal and calming, while Algae Canvas Art brings organic energy to modern interiors. Each piece works beautifully on its own or layered into a gallery wall with your personal collection.

Set the Mood with Statement Lighting

We always say that a room without lighting is just a room. But a room with the proper lighting? That's where the magic happens.

The Reeva Chandelier features a sleek black-and-gold contrast that exudes a refined and architectural feel. If you're drawn to glamour, the Gatsby Chandelier adds Art Deco flair in the best way.

Lighting tip: Always place your chandelier 30–36" above your dining table to create ambiance without overpowering the space.
