What we love most about Jessica's before and after dining room transformation is the warm effect created in her new dining room. Jessica achieved this effect by opting for a tone-on-tone look in warm, comforting beige and brown colors. To create a successful tone-on-tone look, you need to make sure there is as little contrast as possible in the colors you choose. Here, for example, we opted for the Arwin table in white oak, a fairly stable wood species (which presents less color variation than walnut, for example). We also added a rug, a light fixture, and some decorative elements in the same shade as the table and incorporated chairs in shades of brown. And as a decorative element, the addition of plants balances the warm colors found in this decor. You can read more about the wood and color combinations right here.

What we love most about Joëlle's before and after transformation of her coffee space is the practical (yet aesthetic) aspect of adding open storage. In addition to being a great way to dress up a wall, installing shelves on the wall makes it practical for storage and attractive by dressing up the shelves with seasonal decorations. Joëlle shows us a good example here with items related to her coffee space.

What we love most about the before and after transformation of Maude's living room (decor by Studio Beaublanc) is how intimate and warm it looks. So warm that it feels like the living room of a California home on the ocean. We were able to create this atmosphere through the choice of warm colors (like Jessica, we use tone on tone here) and materials (wood, fabrics, rattan, etc.) of each decorative element. We also added a tropical type of plant to create the perfect Californian living room!

What we love most about Audrey's before and after dining room transformation is the contrast. First, there are the dark elements: a walnut dining room table (Oslo model) that matches the room's beams, the chairs with black bases and the shelves. Then there are the light elements: the carpet in shades of white and beige, the walls, the ceiling, the curtains, the light fixture, and other decorative elements. The combination of dark and light elements creates a contrasting effect that makes the dining room set stand out! Finally, the addition of gold decorative elements gives this dining room a midcentury feel!Create this look

What we like most about Eve-Sophie's before and after transformation of the veranda is its versatility according to the different moods desired. We like to have several possibilities to sit there according to our different moods. Want to lie down and have a nap? No problem, the bench is there. You want to swing and read a good book? The suspended hammock-chair will welcome you for hours of relaxation. It's time for happy hour? We turn on the lights, take a drink and that's it.

6. Melyna's dining room

What we love most about Melyna's before and after dining room transformation is the softness, warmth and simplicity of her new dining room. By choosing a delicate table design and chairs, a light wood for both, simple white curtains that let the light in and tone-on-tone decorative elements, we manage to achieve a soft decor.
Once again, we admire the warmth brought by the tone-on-tone effect created by the beige walls, the wood frames, the rattan light fixture and the completely wooden dining room set. The wood species chosen for this decor is birch, a fairly pale wood species with a soft texture. The birch is at the heart of this decor and the softness of the simple elements that surround the dining room set allow us to appreciate the beauty of the wood even more.
