3D simulator room
Louis XV dining room
Round-cornered panels over the full height, chalk white mouldings on a sage green ground, honey Versailles parquet and a ceiling rose.
Louis XV dining room, in detail
The Louis XV style softens the panels: their corners are rounded and the lines become more supple. In a dining room, these panels dress the whole wall, top and bottom, giving the room a quiet elegance.
The mouldings and panel fields play the gentle contrast of chalk white and sage green. On the floor, the Versailles parquet and its interlacing answer the curves of the panels; on the ceiling, a rose marks the place of the table.

The proportions of this room

- Spiral dado rail, top at 83 cm from the floor

Why the dado rail sits at this height
- Proportion used: 30% of 300 cm gives 90 cm (an exact third would be 100 cm).
- Window sill at 85 cm, within 12 cm of the result: the rail drops to 2 cm below the sill so it runs beneath the window.
