  • West African Interior design: A well-lit, wide shot shows a warmly decorated dining area. A long natural wood dining table is the main focus, set within a banquette seating area composed of light cream-colored cushioned benches with wooden frames. The table is set with a blue vase containing wildflowers, along with small bowls filled with green contents. Decorative pillows in shades of orange and brown are placed on the benches, adding to the inviting atmosphere. Above the banquette, two square artworks adorn the deep brown wall. The artwork on the left features a tree with a black trunk and orange leaves against a yellow background, while the second painting displays a forest scene dominated by yellows and greens. On either side of the seating area, tall green plants in dark pots soften the room's edges and bring a touch of nature indoors. A colorful patterned rug lies beneath the table, adding visual interest and grounding the space. To the right, a sliding glass door with a light beige curtain allows natural light to flood the room, revealing a glimpse of the outdoor area, while a wooden cabinet provides storage. The room is characterized by warm tones, natural materials, and a sense of comfortable sophistication.
