The Dining Room

The familiar high-back chairs and a dining table are the main focus in the centre of the Dining Room. Around the walls a series of intricate Gesso panels have been created as an interpretation of the tiny details given on the original design. Telling the ‘Life of the Rose’, these panels indicate Margaret MacDonald’s important decorative influence within Mackintosh’s work.

The carved detail of the central fireplace and stencilled decoration also show alternative translations of Mackintosh’s favourite rose motif. The rose theme is echoed throughout the room from the carpet and stained glass inserts in the sliding door, to the stemmed rose details on the sideboard.The pendant lamps in pastel shades characteristic of Mackintosh’s work.
