Nearly Four Decades Later, Designers Agree Jane Seymour’s 1990 Dining Room is Still the Height of Nostalgic Glamor – it Combined Gold Candlesticks, Tapestry Dining Chairs, and Majestic Houseplants

Jane Seymour .

Jane Seymour has always epitomised understated glamor – the kind that feels innate and glows from within, rather than something put on or overly styled – so it's no surprise to see her homes through the years have captured that same luxe, yet sophisticated look. This archival image of her 1990 dining room in her Santa Barbara home, which she shared with her husband at the time, David Flynn, is the ultimate example.

As the dining room makes a comeback for 2026, we look to examples like Jane Seymour's for our inspiration. The combination of dark wood, tapestry-upholstered chairs, gold candlesticks, and a dramatic Kentia Palm feels authentically rich and layered, fuelled with 1990's nostalgia.
