We were so very pleased to collaborate with Christina Henck of Henck Design, an incredible design firm in the Philadelphia area, on this amazing project. This dining room renovation included updating the chairs by reupholstering with a stunning patterned fabric from Lee Jofa on the back. We added foam to the seat and back and recovered with a perfectly coordinating fabric from Mitchell.
In addition to updating the chairs, we also fabricated and installed the window treatments – and we went dramatic! These drapes play a starring role in the aesthetic of this dining room. Between the rich color and the texture of the fabric, one might even call it over the top…and we are here for it.

Each of these four, single windows are dressed with a pair of stationary drapes. Some clients express concern that drapery panels like the ones in this project might be too much for the room. However, the size of this room easily accommodated these 8 panels, and they really give the windows a complete look.

New Jersey Dining Room with a Breakfast Nook
Sleek and stylish dining room from the talented Michele Plachter Design.
We had the privilege of collaborating on this project with Michele Plachter Design, an award-winning full-service interior design firm that’s recognized for gorgeous, functional spaces.
Dining room BEFORE. This transformation was amazing to be a part of!
For this project, we employed a design technique called blocking. This means there is one fabric on the top and a different fabric on the bottom. For these drapery panels we used a three part blocking pattern, with cream at the top, taupe in the middle, and black at the bottom.
These beautiful window treatments are all ripplefold, mounted on functional hardware with a decorative flat fascia. These make for a very contemporary, very sleek aesthetic.
Blocking isn’t just for drapes. In this adjoining dining nook, we fabricated color blocked cornices to coordinate with the drapes in the dining room. Photo courtesy Michele Plachter.
Adjacent to the dining room is a nook where we did not go with drapes, but instead chose cornices to dress the three windows. To complement the drapery panels, we fabricated these cornices with the same color blocking technique, using the same fabrics to complete this elegant and contemporary look.
