Traditional dining room ideas – 10 looks that will stand the test of time
Traditional dining rooms are beautiful spaces which stay looking stylish and functional throughout the years, so to ensure your scheme has enduring appeal it’s important to design a space which perfectly suits your needs and personal taste.
Whether it's for formal entertaining, spending quality time in with the family, working from home, or getting creative doing some arts and crafts, today's dining rooms are multi-functional spaces used for all sorts of activities, so before embarking on a design, consider what you need from your space.
‘Key factors to consider when designing a traditional dining room are ensuring the correct balance between function and form,’ says Sarah Vanrenen of Vanrenen GW Designs.
‘When starting the design process, consider what the rooms main function is. Do you want to create a smart and formal space, or one that doubles up as a desk and workspace? These decisions will dictate the furniture, colors and layout.'
'These days, especially with the bustle of working from home and home schooling, to be able to retreat from the busy kitchen into a civilized and considered space such as the dining room is a welcome end to the day,' she adds. 'As with any room in your home, the dining room should be one full of color, pattern and personality filled with the things you love.'
‘Dining room lighting ideas is just as important and needs to be considered throughout the seasons. Avoid strong downlights and instead, look for plenty of light sources. Add lights around the room at eye level in the form of lamps or sconces.'
If your dining room is an occasional space reserved for entertaining guests, then it can be the perfect opportunity to decorate a little differently and be more daring with color and print.
‘Dining rooms should make a statement and have that wow-factor, being the perfect setting for a celebration for special meals,’ says Emma Deterding, founder of Kelling Designs. ‘Use a warm bold color that cocoons you and makes you feel cozy and safe in the space, especially in winter as that’s when most of us use our dining rooms.’ Burgundy, blue and green are ideal hues and remember that lacquering paint will give a reflective quality, bouncing more light into the space.
1. Channel classic elegance with a neutral scheme

For a scheme that will stand the test of time you can’t go wrong by decorating in neutral tones and investing in an high quality, wooden dining table and chairs.
‘There are two key questions when choosing the shape of a table, says Cassie Rowland, head of product at Neptune . ‘Firstly, where your table sits, and secondly, how you plan to use it.’
As well as bringing elegance with their soft curves, tables with rounded tops are a great small dining room idea as they make moving around the space far easier, plus a pedestal design with a single support allows extra room for tucking chairs out of the way.
‘However, you can’t beat the impact and scale of a large rectangular table,’ adds Cassie Rowland. If you’re unsure what shape to choose take your lead from the architecture of the room.
2. Decorate in timeless greens

If you’re looking for dining room color ideas then consider taking a cue from nature and opting for a serene green shade. Calm yet uplifting, mid-greens such as Farrow & Ball’s Yeabridge Green are also a fantastic backdrop for displaying colorful artwork, patterned table linen and tableware as this scheme by Birdie Fortescue proves – bring color pops and warm up the look with contrasting pink and red accessories.
‘Greens are the universal color choice in decorating – or so thought JW von Goethe in 1810. His reasoning was that because it was made from two primary colors it rendered balance and harmony and was popular with most people. I agree with him in many ways; used in its wide range of hues, green is incredibly versatile and can add drama or calm to a room,' says Edward Bulmer of Edward Bulmer Natural Paints .
'I also believe that because of its make-up, it forms a very reliable background for a whole range of other natural materials like wood, stone and terracotta. For this reason, it is often a very good choice for hanging pictures on.'
3. Choose a relaxed country look

Set the tone for a relaxed country scheme with a large dining table made from solid wood teamed with upholstered benches. A brilliant rustic dining room idea, natural wood furniture has a beautiful patina which perfectly complements the weathered stone and surfaces of period homes. Add to the rural theme with a pared-back iron chandelier with a simple leaf design.
‘A statement chandelier light fixture in a dining room brings a certain elegance and gravitas to the space, making it ideal for hosting more formal gatherings,’ says Louise Wicksteed, design director for Sims Hilditch interior design.
‘However, when paired with rectangular, wooden furniture and bench seating, as we did in our 16th Century Manor project, the aesthetic is tempered somewhat to create an inviting and relaxed atmosphere.
'
'When selecting furniture for our interiors, we opt for natural materials wherever possible,' adds Louise Wicksteed. 'This can be elevated using high quality patterned fabric for the window treatments, and by displaying characterful family portrays or artwork on the walls and above the fireplace,'
4. Turn heads with a decorative wallpaper

As spaces where we entertain guests and come together to celebrate, dining rooms make brilliant rooms for using bold decorative wallpapers. For this room Katharine Paravicini chose this striking Pierre Frey design. ‘The client wanted a statement, and it did just that,’ she says.
From authentic reprints of historic designs to beautiful designs based on contemporary original artwork, there's a huge array of statement wallpapers available.
5. Celebrate nature with chinoiserie papers

If you’re looking for elegant dining room wallpaper ideas for a traditional scheme then you can’t go wrong with a trailing floral repeat design inspired by archive patterns.
With a distinct nod to chinoiserie designs, this Massingberd Blossom paper from Little Greene is a refreshed version of a print found in the historic Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire, UK and features birds amid blossom – classic motifs of the popular 18th century chinoiserie style.
'Incorporating Chinoiserie inspired wallpaper designs is a simple way of adding a touch of timeless exoticism into your interior,' advises Ruth Mottershead, creative director of Little Greene. 'Featuring trailing florals and exotic birds, these rich and decorative designs were popular in the 18th century and work beautifully in period homes as well as contemporary schemes.'
For a contemporary twist pair the ornate paper with streamlined Mid-century-furniture.
6. Showcase decorative fabrics and ceramics
(Image credit: Penny Morrison / Mike Garlick )
Wall-to-wall prints are a bold choice – for a more pared-back approach to decorating with pattern consider covering dining chairs with slip covers in decorative fabrics.
Simple block-printed or embroidered motifs on natural linen will bring a touch of pattern without overpowering a scheme as this design from Penny Morrison proves.
When it comes to choosing fabrics for dining chairs ‘fabrics that are hard-wearing and stain-resistant’ are preferable advises Roger Jones, director at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler . ‘Leather and horsehair are traditional, but there are plenty of modern fabrics that are equally practical. In the summer, simple linen slip covers on the dining chairs can transform the look of the room – and can easily be put in the washing machine if they become marked.’
7. Create an elegant table display
(Image credit: Ben Pentreath)
Make a focal point of a dining table when it's not in use by creating a display of beautiful objects and floral arrangements. Ben Pentreath demonstrates how to create the perfect resting display in his design for this Chelsea flat which features a curated collection of candlesticks and statement bouquet of electric viburnum arranged symmetrically for classic elegance.
The bottle green French velvet that covers the white gesso framed Louis XVI chairs is picked up by the collection of glass candlesticks and resin lamp bases on the table and the dresser behind.
8. Make the most of original features

When choosing colors for a period home or a traditional scheme, ‘think about the style of the room and the architectural interest that you might want to play with and accentuate,' advises Patrick O’Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball . If you're lucky enough to have beautiful features choose a shade and treatment which will make them really shine.
'Beautiful architectural features are what give period homes their unique character so should be persevered and highlighted within interior design wherever possible,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor of Period Living magazine.
A chic pastel pink with undertones of gray, Peignor by Farrow & Ball brings softness and elegance to this Georgian dining room while also highlighting the beautiful decorative plasterwork.
9. Choose antique furniture

Whether it's a dining table and chairs, a small sideboard or drinks cabinet, antique furniture is guaranteed to bring a character to a traditional dining room. With elegant curves and ornate detailing, Gustavian-style pieces, such as this table and chairs from Lesley Blackford Antiques, are the perfect choice for an elegant and glamorous scheme. For a playful pop of color consider reupholstering the seats of the chairs as has been done here with a velvet striped fabric from Designers Guild .

If you have a room with tall ceilings they can be great spaces to hang statement, pendant lights, creating a focal point above the table. ‘We often advise clients to be brave with scale, especially in rooms with high ceilings,’ says interior designer Emma Sims Hilditch. ‘This fills the space and adds an element of drama.’
How can I decorate my traditional dining room?
How you choose to decorate a traditional dining room will depend on how you plan to use the space and your personal style.
Before you embark on a design, examine your lifestyle to ascertain what you need from the space.
'Updating the walls with a lick of paint will bring instant personality and a new look to your space, but before you decide on a color there are some factors you need to consider,' advises Patrick O’Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball
‘Dining rooms are often more formal and used at night and for celebratory occasions – if this is the case, make sure to look at your paint colors in the evening light. If you use the room during the day – think about the light aspect for example, if the room is north-facing (little natural light) it can benefit from warmer toned colors with a red or yellow base or alternatively exploring the limitations and going dark.’
'We are all familiar with the classic red dining room, so ubiquitous through the 1980s and 1990s but don’t rule this palette out, especially towards the deep brick red tones of the appropriately named Eating Room Red – it offers a rich warmth and will positively glow under candlelight.
Mushroom-tinged pinks such as Dead Salmon offer a more modern interpretation of the red dining room, whereas greens will work a treat, especially at the darker end of the family. Calke Green will make a perfect bedfellow to traditional brown furniture.'
As an occasional space where we welcome guests the dining room is also a brilliant space to express our personality and decorate with our favorite prints. Turn heads with a large scale prints, alternatively, for a pared-back look more likely to endure consider ditsy designs and elegant trailing florals.
Roger Jones, director, Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler suggests using ‘prints that aren’t too busy or distracting: the food on the table and the company around it should be the focus of attention, not what’s on the walls or at the windows,’ he adds. ‘Large-scale patterns can often work well if they are in harmonious rather than startling colors.’
When it comes to window treatments these 'will depend entirely on the shape and style of the window,' adds Roger Jones.
However 'simple curtains with gathered headings hanging from a pole are the most versatile,' he adds. 'If you are lucky enough to live in an old house with internal window shutters you might consider not having curtains at all.'
Curtains are guaranteed to bring a traditional feel to a dining room – if you're considering dining room curtain ideas then consider full length drapes advises Lee Clarke, director at Warner House .
'At Warner House, “more is more” and in almost every instance we would advise curtains should be full length: puddled for a traditional feel, or flush to the floor for a modern finish.'
'Add character with headings and trims,' he adds. 'We love the pinch pleat heading: triple pinch for a heritage look, double pinch for a sleeker finish. Try adding a luxurious brush fringe or smart animal print tape to the leading edge for a polished effect.'
What furniture do you put in a traditional dining room?
When thinking about furniture for a traditional dining room the key is to choose well-made, high quality pieces which will stand the test of time.
A dining table and chairs made from solid wood will endure across the years. When deciding what shape table to choose take a queue from your architecture and the shape of your space – circular tables are great small dining room ideas for apartments while rectangular designs would be a perfect fit for grand Georgian rooms.
‘Sideboards in the dining room can be a useful place to keep tableware and glasses as well as the obvious extra space when serving,’ adds Sarah Vanrenen of Vanrenen GW Designs.
To ensure the space continues to meet your needs over the years consider flexible furniture options such as extending dining tables, plus, what traditional dining room would be complete without a large display cabinet or dresser to store and display a prized dinner service.
Popular in the glamorous Art Deco era, the bar trolley is currently making a come back and is perfect for entertaining offering a space to all the essentials you need to rustle up cocktails for dinner guests.

Whether you've nostalgic memories of eating and conversing with relatives at Christmas, or just really look forward to some guaranteed quality time with family on the weekend, traditional dining room design ideas are the perfect meeting point to catch up with loved ones and share a comforting home cooked meal or takeout.
Dining room ideas can take all sorts of shapes and sizes, but rather than styling your sit-down space with the latest contemporary fashions, sometimes time-honored trends that haven't faded out are the best to save yourself time and money.
So if you're on the look out for a scheme that you won't be stripping down any time soon, take a look at these exemplary examples of tried-and-tested designs.
Traditional dining room ideas to stand the test of time
'Whether you’ve chosen to make your dining space part of an open-plan room, or the table where every meal takes place in a separate part of the house, the ideas don’t end there.
Setting the tone for your dining room also has a lot to do with the styling of the table,' says Linda Holmes, interiors director at LuxDeco .
'Ideas for making a more casual dining room statement start with leaving the table undressed. It’s the first lesson in how to make a formal dining room feel less formal. When the table isn’t set, it makes the dining area feel like an open invitation to sit down and relax,'
'Compare that to when it’s set for an occasion, and it feels as though you can’t sit down unless it’s when food is served – or about to be. Keep the place mats and the crockery at bay, concentrating instead on a floral centerpiece or a decorative bowl placed in the middle.'
1. Mix and match pattern for a maximalist look

'A bold pattern will set the mood and the color palette so find a wallpaper or fabric that makes your heart sing. If you are planning on plain walls, choose your main pieces of furniture and find a paint shade to complement.
Where wood tones are the fixed point, find the optimum color that will bring out their best.' says Helen Stone, interiors writer, John Lewis & Partners .
Sarah O’Sullivan, partner and designer, home adds: 'Hang pendants low to create a soft, moody light, then set the table with a mix of timeless dinnerware and stylish glassware.'
2. Opt for an oak dining set to add a warm family feel
(Image credit: Next / Laura Ashley)
When planning your traditional dining room idea, both comfort and style need to go hand in hand. Because there's nothing worse than trying to enjoy a lovely meal that you've spent hours preparing and cooking, only to get a numb butt mid-way through courses.
Soft, yet structured seating is the way to go, and it means you don't need to spend any of your hard-earned cash on cushions. We love the look of these spoon back chairs from Laura Ashley at Next with their upholstered seats and backs to help you sit up straight at the table without any rigidity.
A handsome, extendable table like this one shown can comfortably seat 6-8 people, so no one misses out. And, the best news is that once it's been delivered to your door, only the legs need to be attached to begin enjoying this piece of furniture. So you can get planning your dinner preparations pronto!
3. Invest in blue furniture for a regal dinner setup
(Image credit: Next / Laura Ashley)
It doesn't matter if you're serving up a casual affair of burgers and fries or a chicken pot pie - every meal time should feel like a royal appointment. So if you want to make supper time something special, consider a co-ordinated dining set and dresser.
This extendable table by Laura Ashley at Next means that you can (quite literally) pull out all the stops to achieve a dining setting fit for King and Queen. Pair with your finest crystal glassware and add long, thin candlesticks for an extra-special eating event.
Opting for the matching Henshaw display unit , you can display your finest bone china crockery and silverware.
However, when this room isn't being used as a formal dining room, cram this cabinet with books for an easy home library idea.
4. Add modern twists to a traditional space
(Image credit: Annie Sloan)
Traditional doesn't have to mean predictable. This space features a fun triangular take on a period black-and-white checkerboard floor pattern. It's a look that can be easily achieved with either tiles or the budget option – vinyl.
This dining room's color scheme is also a contemporary take on the rich dark shades traditionally used in dining rooms.
'A dining space is a wonderful place to be bold or experimental,' says Annie Sloan , color and paint expert. 'This is a room where you want conversation to spark. A rich highly-pigmented blue is a brilliant starting point; bring in joyful exclamatory splashes of clashing orange to harness the best qualities of both shades and make a real design statement.'
5. Pair wood and navy for an old-school feel
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
There's something about navy that instantly smartens up a traditional dining room idea.
Maybe it's the association with school uniforms, or perhaps the inky blue hue that we link to handwritten study assignments or letters.
Create a richly dramatic space, this Stiffkey blue shade by Farrow & Ball can add a contemporary touch to a previously dusty-feeling dining space. The map on the wall creates a chic academia vibe and can be a talking point to test geographic knowledge at the table.
6. Choose a paint color that changes throughout the day
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
Stuck between a blue or green wall paint idea for your traditional dining room design? We know how hard it is picking a paint color that won't make you nauseous while you devour your dinner. So if your dining area currently looks like a sea of
paint swatches, choose a hybrid hue like Green Blue from Farrow & Ball.
This chameleon-like color needs no other name, it's exactly what it says – sometimes blue and sometimes green depending on the changing light throughout the day.
So you'll just have to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in this traditional dining room to see what hue you're presented with!
Keep your other decorations light, so you can really appreciate the subtle differences throughout the day.
7. Warm up a white room with earthy-hued chairs
(Image credit: Neptune)
In today's modern world with multi-functional living, it's a shame that formal dining rooms are seldom used. Instead, it's not uncommon to see families eating on the sofa, or kids sneaking snacks into the bedroom. So, more often than not, the safest option is to paint the walls in in a neutral white design.
But, if you don't choose the best white paint for your space, then it can often feel cold and clinical. If you don't fancy repainting your entire traditional dining area all over again, then the next best thing might be to introduce some colorful, yet still classic chesterfield-style quilted chairs in a warm color such as rust or trendy mustard.
Olive and lemon trees in this space add a lovely Mediterranean vibe with a gorgeous zesty and herbaceous scent that'll permeate throughout the room. What's more, you won't have to deal with the wasps or pesky mosquitoes that come with alfresco dining.
Oh, and that large mirror makes the space feel HUGE.
8. Create a DIY focal point using a washing line and pegs
(Image credit: Neptune)
Flowers and plants are a typical feature in a traditional dining room idea. Not only are they visually-pleasing, but they also add a wonderful smell to your eating area - provided you don't have hayfever or other allergies!
This modern take on biophillic decor quite literally brings the outdoors in. To recreate the look, hang a washing line from wall-to-wall and across your dining table. Then use wooden pegs to hang cuttings from various plants found on your forest walks or your backyard.
This can be changed seasonally, using pretty springtime foilage or evergreen winter cuttings.
Just make sure that they are affixed securely so that a Holly sprig doesn't end up in someone's meal - no matter how MasterChef that may look!
And it goes without saying, if your pets like to linger in the kitchen in hope of some scraps or a bit of bacon going spare - opt for pet-friendly houseplants in this area of the home to avoid a costly trip to the vets.
9. Pair mahogany and deep blue for a dramatic effect
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
With most of our time spent at work, or in school, traditional dining rooms are mostly used in the evening time when we take dinner.
So turn your last meal of the day into a royal event by combining a dark, moody color with a red-brown wooden dining set. Opt for a color such as Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe to create a stark contrast against the auburn grain of the wood.
This daringly dark hue is fabulous as a background to art, so just like a beautiful wine pairing to food, this shade will sit perfectly behind an ornately-detailed brass picture frame.
10. Opt for a traditional stone floor
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
Country-inspired interior design brings the outdoors in and incorporates earthy elements, such as wood and stone into furniture and decor. Whether your house is old or new you can transform it into a characterful country sanctuary.
'Natural stone flooring can be one of the most forgiving floor coverings if the right stone and finish are chosen.' explains Isabel Fernandez, director at natural stone company Quorn Stone .
11. Create a talking point with a surprising feature
(Image credit: Albion Nord)
'Every home and design should have some sort of story attached to it. If the design doesn’t tell a story about the homeowner, the house or the surrounding area, it can then lack depth and connection,' says Camilla Clarke, creative director at interior design studio, Albion Nord .
'Whether it be a design around an inherited piece of art or a celebration of the classical features of a property, this will help create the soul and character of a home and make it different to any other house,'
'For example we are working on a new countryside project where we are using the wood from a large fallen oak tree that has been growing in the grounds of the estate for hundreds of years to create a beautiful bespoke table in the wine room.
By connecting the design to its surroundings, it adds a story of inheritance and character that makes it special and unique from any other design.'
12. Add functionality to your dining room with modular storage
(Image credit: Neptune)
More commonly seen in contemporary dining room setups, modular storage is usually made up of clean, modern designs that are gradually built upon or stacked. But if you're in need of a traditional dining room idea that can evolve into something larger, a piece from Neptune's Chawton collection is an idyllic investment.
This gorgeous berry-colored design is perfect for dark dining rooms, but can also be paired with light beige decor to provide contrast. Dried flowers and oil paintings are welcome additions to create a period-style scheme.
13. Go modern traditional using florals
(Image credit: Andrea Schumacher interiors)
'Dress up the walls. Wall coverings can make a remarkable difference in any room.
If you are looking to take it a step further, use a fabric pattern that matches the wall covering on the dining chairs. This will create a custom vibrant look that is sure to dazzle your dining experience,' says Andrea Schumacher , interior designer.
'There's also nothing more beautiful than a well-made flower arrangement as the centerpiece to a curated tablescape.'
14. Incorporate velvet chairs for a luxury tactile touch
(Image credit: Erin Comerford Miller Photography)
'The color and texture of the velvet chairs are a texture play with the wall covering, which is a painted grasscloth,' says Caroline Brackett, owner of Caroline Brackett Studio of Design .
'We love mixing textures as well as styles, which is why we chose this chair fabric. It brings out one of the colors in the wallpaper and they really stand out in the room. Fully upholstered dining chairs are always more inviting and comfortable in our opinion, and we feel that these chairs beckon you to come sit at the table,'
'The silk drapes with contrasting decorative tape are another way to incorporate a different texture to the room as well as bringing out another color in the paper - the oxblood red which is lovely with the teal chairs.
'
15. Think about what's underfoot, too
(Image credit: Andrea Schumacher Interiors)
'Using an area rug is a great way to define your space and pull your color from the ground up. Incorporate complementary tones from the area rug into upholstered dining chairs, artwork on the walls.' says Schumacher.
Kristin Bartone, owner of Bartone Interiors adds: 'The most important thing for a dining room is an adequately sized rug that covers the floor under all the chairs, even in the extended position. Many people make the mistake of getting a rug that is too small, or skipping the rug all together.'
16. Use kids art for a fun take on a classic gallery wall
(Image credit: Bartone Interiors / Lissa Gottwals Photography)
Gallery wall ideas are a great way to show off your interior personality. But as a relatively new concept of curating a set of your favorite framed wall art, it can often look 'too styled' or inauthentic.
Bring a family touch to your traditional dining room ideas by using your kid's artwork from pre-school or a rainy weekend to dress your walls.
That way you'll have something that's truly unique to your space, and it won't cost a thing!
17. Don't be scared to use bold colors
(Image credit: Kelling Designs)
'When it comes to the design elements, for me personally, it's all about color, pattern and personality,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs .
'As with any room in your home, the dining room should be a representation of your own personality and style, and should be filled with things you love. We are seeing our clients move away from neutral, minimalist dining rooms and choose bolder design schemes.'
18. Create a symmetrical and soothing scheme
(Image credit: Bees Knees Interior Design / Kyle J Caldwell Photography)
There's something aesthetically pleasing about having a symmetrically-designed dining room with an equal amount of furniture mirrored on each side of the room and this white dining room idea is the perfect example of it with its matching dressers, chairs and lighting scheme.
'Our client longed for a soft palette, so we put together a space with soft greens and blues to create a very soothing and welcoming space.' says Mary Maloney, of Massachusetts based, Bees Knees Interior Design .
19. Create an elegant feel with a deep paint shade
(Image credit: Future)
The right paint color can transform any room in the house, and the dining room is no exception. Think about the look you want to create: relaxed and rustic, or smart and formal?
A bright off-white is a fail-safe, brightening option, but we do love greens and reds in the dining room for a more distinctive effect – and if you will mainly be using your dining table in the evening, you can afford to go for a deeper shade.
20. Create an eclectic look with contemporary chairs
Want to try your hand at combining traditional and modern dining room ideas? The dining room is probably the easiest room to achieve a traditional/contemporary fusion – all you need is light, contemporary dining chairs, matched with a traditional table.
This dining room benefits from a nice contrast between the imposing dining table and modern chairs. Have a look at our pick of the best contemporary dining chairs –most of them will work well as part of a traditional dining room design.

Want a perfect conversation topic over dinner? Travel is not a bad subject to start, especially if your dining room design is a testament to a diversity of cultures and styles.
This dining room cleverly combines Eastern and Western influences; the traditional Japanese ceiling lights and Roman-style bust are both from Rockett St George.

Keeping the design scheme monochrome is one of the easiest ways to achieve a timelessly elegant look. Try a discreetly patterned wallpaper for a bespoke, cozy look. This dining room has been decorated with Viola wallpaper by Sandberg.
But of course, grey wallpaper ideas come in all different prints and motifs, so finding one that suits your traditional dining room design is key.
23. Brighten up the room with a zesty paint shade
(Image credit: Little Greene)
Green is a popular color for traditional dining rooms – it's a soothing shade that makes for a restful room, perfect if your dining room doubles as a breakfast room.
Which shade to go for? The rooms above are in deeper green tones, which is perfect for rooms that will be mainly used in the evenings, beneath artificial light or candlelight.
If you're decorating a traditional dining space that you'll use in the morning, too, a zestier green paint shade will make the room feel brighter and more cheerful. Match it with white and turquoise for a subtle look. This lime green paint shade is from Little Greene and is called Sage & Onions .
Bring your own personality to your dining room by putting your favorite glassware, ceramics, and even plants on display, You'll need open shelving or a dresser – and then it's just a matter of collecting objects you really like.
Etsy is a great place to start building your collection of ceramics. Or, you could take up pottery yourself to create a piece of earthenware that's bespoke to your traditional dining room design.
25. Make the dining space cozy with printed textiles

Want a cozy, lived-in look in your dining space? Printed, loosely coordinated fabrics should be on your radar: from colorful curtains to sumptuously upholstered dining chairs, printed textiles are the perfect material for creating a bespoke, vintage look.
This dining room has been designed with fabrics by Vanessa Arbuthnott .
26. Choose stylish window treatments
(Image credit: Neptune)
The right window treatment ideas will add style and drama to your dining room, especially if you have a gorgeous, large window you'd like to draw attention to. And for a really grand look, nothing beats shutters.
27. Invest in a quality dining set
(Image credit: Future/Brent Darby)
Traditional dining room ideas don't have to be colorful and ornate.
You can keep the design neutral and fuss-free, but be sure to invest in a quality dining set, which is the heart of any dining room, traditional or otherwise. Solid wood dining furniture is best for traditional schemes. Personally, we'd start off by looking at the best traditional dining tables.
28. Make the most of a multi-use space
(Image credit: Jody Stewart)
Does your dining room double up as the hallway/living room? Make the most of the available space by choosing compact dining furniture. A round dining table is best, since it has no corners to bump into, and you can squeeze more people around it comfortably. Personalize your furniture for a cottage or farmhouse feel by painting it.
29. Accessorize with table cloths, flowers and artwork
(Image credit: Bruce Hemming)
If your dining room is part of an open-plan layout, you'll want to blend its design with that of your living space. Pick furniture that looks equally good in a living room and accessorize in the same way you would in your living space, and you'll create a cohesive look.
Use this approach in a dining room-only for a space that feels welcoming and warm, whatever the wall color.
30. Embrace romantic excess with a pink color scheme
(Image credit: Brent Darby)
Want to make a real design statement with your dining room color scheme? Choose a less expected, vibrant color for your walls that will instantly personalize the space. Try a color that's usually used in a different type of room (say, a bedroom paint idea) for maximum effect, and complement it with neutral but ornate furniture.
For a similar romantic pink shade try Rangwali from Farrow & Ball.
31. Go boho with lots of shelves and decorations

If you want a more relaxed, Bohemian take on traditional dining room style, we have some good news for you: you can forget about the current de-cluttering craze and put your knick-knacks on display instead. A few pictures on the walls, that lamp you picked up in an antiques shop, and a plant garland – hey presto, a dining room that looks lived-in and charmingly idiosyncratic.

32. Create a dining area in the hallway

If space is limited, but you still want a separate dining space, think about areas of the home that are underused and could be reworked as a dining area. A wide hallway is definitely a contender – but be sure to choose an oblong dining table to maximize dining space and to make movement around the hallway easy.
This renovated cottage sports an ingenious solution to the lack of space: a hallway idea with a bench for seating.

An open-plan kitchen idea can be designed in a variety of ways, and positioning the dining table centrally in the room is just one of them. Symmetry will not suit every room, so think in terms of the space you have and what will work best for it.
We like this traditional dining room design idea created in the corner of this garden-facing kitchen, creating an illusion of more space.
35. Liven up a corner dining space with floral wallpaper

Mini dining spaces tucked away under the stairs or in the corner of a room can look really charming – but you'll need to think of ways to counteract the darkness of these spaces. Brighten up your corner dining space with a bold, floral wallpaper idea; a mirror will also help make the space look bigger.
This dining area has been decorated with Gosford Meadow wallpaper by Laura Ashley.
36. Go all-white for a French cottage look

This cottage breakfast room looks very chic, in a summery, Provencal way, thanks to the striking white dining room idea. The doors of the dresser were hand made by the owner, and the table was hand painted with Annie Sloan chalk paint .
37. Get rustic, sturdy furniture to match a cottage interior
The front door leads straight into the dining room. With its Victorian range lit, it’s a cosy room on winter evenings. Salvaged beams give character to this rebuilt section of the property.

Picking the right dining furniture for a period room is all about proportions – in other words, matching the lines and architecture of your furniture to that of the room itself. Here, a cottage dining room with chunky, beamed ceilings and stone floors needs sturdy, solid furniture to match.
38. Add warmth with wood flooring

Choosing the best wood flooring is one way to create the perfect traditional dining room design – and it's more practical in the dining room than in the kitchen. Choose rich, dark tones for an authentic or formal look.
What is the function of a formal dining area?
'Formal dining table ideas pivot around how the space is going to be used. If it’s purely for grander occasions, this will dictate what sort of table you need. Go with the sense of pomp and ceremony and choose a large, stately, rectangular table that can fit plenty of people around it', says Holmes.
'By the same token, if you’re going to be using it more frequently, then it’s worth looking at extendable designs that have more intimacy for when there’s fewer people, but can grow to host a big gathering,'
'Remember that a circular table feels less formal than a squared edge one, if you want to soften the tone of the room.
These will extend into an oval which is a good balance between formal and relaxed,'
'The same advice applies for chair choices – they have the potential to make a formal room feel far more or far less grand. Generally, chairs with arms carry formality.'
What chairs can I use in a traditional dining room?
'Mixing dining chair styles is such a wonderful way to inject personality, and we love using a more traditional armchair with fabric slipcover for the ends of the table, along with a more ladder-back, Chippendale, or Windsor style around the sides.' says Maggie Griffin, founder of Maggie Griffin Design

Interior design of a dining room in a classic style with photos and design options
Eternal classic is considered the embodiment of an amazing combination: luxury and restraint. Thanks to existing rules, the design of a classic dining room should ideally emphasize the inherent elegance of such spaces.
The noble traditions and discreet design dignity of the aforementioned style have always attracted connoisseurs of beauty. Preferably classic dining room stood out for its harmonious proportions. The correct geometric shape should be not only the dining room, but also furniture. Linear or corner cabinets, sideboards, sideboards, tables and chairs must emphasize the severity of the interior.
The functionality of such a solution is manifested in saving space and providing the opportunity to use it for other needs. Often interiors of dining rooms in the classic style cannot do without chic furniture made of expensive wood species: beech, cherry, oak. The semantic center of the room is a well-known picture of the interior of the dining room: a large dining table with matching chairs. A mandatory component of the design are high-quality elite materials, which, in addition to their exquisite appearance, stand out for their resistance to various temperature influences.
As for the color scheme, calm light tones should prevail, the classics do not like contrast, so you should strictly adhere to the rule for choosing tones. The decor should be restrained, but at the same time very rich. Carved decorations, gilding or bronze, stucco molding and patination of furniture will perfectly decorate and emphasize the rich decoration of the dining room.
Lighting needs special attention, because classic style in the interior of dining rooms loves natural light.
It is desirable that the room is on the sunny side of the house and has a large window. In this case, focusing on the light source, the role of decor can go to a multi-level lambrequin.
Historical changes to the classics
As mentioned earlier, traditional classic design favors light colors. The very concept of grand style was first mentioned in the 16th century during the Italian Renaissance, when local craftsmen tried to profitably present a combination of practicality and elegance. Today, thanks to different views and the desire for change, designers have decided to bring another shade to the interior. We are talking about dark furniture made of noble wood. Many professionals are convinced that such color furniture is a reflection of the negative influence of Art Nouveau. Some also argue that such innovations have a very positive effect on design and are in line with modern requirements. Since interior design of a dining room in a classic style should be harmoniously arranged, dark furniture will draw attention to the rigor and consistency of the classics, thereby complementing its main characteristics.
Classic style design industry
Over the past 10 years, interest in classic style design has grown exponentially. Connoisseurs of this trend in art equip their dining rooms in a classic style, the photos of of which serve as a vivid example of the fact that various variations of details and trifles can harmoniously complement the design picture.
The historical path of classicism as an interior style was quite thorny. It is reasonable to say that during all this time the direction has succumbed to some modifications. At the beginning of the twentieth century, dominance in Europe was captured by a new aesthetic trend - neoclassicism. It retained the restraint of classicism and the grandeur of antiquity, while leaving only a minimum of decor. Today, many designers prefer neoclassicism in the interior of the dining room, since this style, like true classics, is ideal for a place for daily meals.

Classic residence in Jurmala (41 photos)
Type: Private Object: House Residence Total area: 1200 sq.
m.
Concept
On the Baltic coast, architect Alexander Kratovich implemented a large-scale project - a classic residence of 1300 sq. m. m with expressive facades in the spirit of English Palladianism and respectable interiors worked out to the smallest detail. “I joined the project at the stage when the customer had already started building the house. But he realized that the modern, modernist project does not suit him. I offered him a completely different style, which was more suitable for his ideas about suburban housing and personal preferences - traditional classics.
The difficulty was that the house was already twenty percent built, and had to be tied to the existing layout and foundation. My suggestion was to “raise” the house higher, that is, to build it towards the hill, and leave the existing built part as one-story, and make a terrace on the roof. There, on the terrace, there is also a dining room in the form of a belvedere,” says the architect.
The original construction of the house was examined and many defects were found, due to which many had to be demolished or strengthened. The house stands on a hillside, and a reliable support was required with a guarantee against displacements and distortions, so the foundation was used as a monolithic slab. The facades are decorated with hand-molded red-brown clinker bricks, the architectural details and columns are made of Egyptian sandstone… Due to the complexity of the reconstruction, the work dragged on for five years, but in the end, the customers received an ideal family residence in terms of style and implementation.

Type: Private Object: Apartment Total area: 122 sq.m.
Concept
Designer Daria Susekova created a grand interior with historical overtones: interesting, detailed, filigree assembled. It harmoniously combines elements of different traditional styles: classics, baroque, chinoiserie with modern design trends.
“The customer is from St. Petersburg, she spends a lot of time on business trips abroad. Paris, Milan, St. Petersburg - these are her favorite cities, the classic surroundings in them are the norm of life.
Therefore, she was also looking for an apartment in Moscow with a cultural background,” notes the author of the project. She especially wanted to live near the Patriarch's Ponds, in one of the pre-revolutionary tenement houses with beautiful architecture and an atmospheric front door. “I got the apartment after it was dismantled, absolutely everything was removed in it down to the brick, everything was cleaned under the floor, the wooden floors were opened ... Only the outer walls were preserved, everything else had to be created anew,” the designer notes.

Villa with peacocks (43 photos)
Type: Private Object: House Total area: 800 sq.m.
Concept
Designer Natalia Pantyukhina designed the interiors of a historic Italian villa, creating a luxurious setting for a summer holiday.
The history of this villa, located near the small town of Vicchio in Tuscany, dates back several centuries. For the first time, construction began here in the 16th century, by the end of the 19th century only the foundation remained of the old building, on which a stately mansion in the style of a traditional Italian palazzo was erected at the beginning of the 20th century.
This is how the villa took on the appearance that has survived to this day. She changed several owners until she found herself in a Russian family, who decided to carry out a careful restoration, restore the frescoes and return the place to its former grandeur.
The work on the project took several years, restoration and decoration were carried out gradually and did not interfere with the usual life of the family, which at that time had a rest, invited guests, arranged receptions, held weddings ... This approach is very typical for traditional architecture, when construction and life of the house go on parallel and do not interfere with each other.
The villa is surrounded by two hectares of park, which was chosen by peacocks. On its territory, in addition to the patio and the pool, there is another unique historical building - the chapel of St. Catherine, which gives the ensemble a romantic halo.

Classic townhouse in Barvikha (26 photos)
Type: Private Object: House Townhouse Total area: 220 sq.m.
Concept
For his regular customers, the architect designed the interior of a townhouse in Barvikha with an area of 220 sq. m. m, turning a three-story space with a complex structure and multi-level premises into a comfortable country house in the spirit of an old family estate. The house originally had a very odd layout with several levels, half a flight of stairs and small isolated rooms.
“When we arrived at the facility for the first time, we thought that something interesting would hardly come of it… But as soon as the partitions were removed, the internal volume began to work in a completely different way, there was a feeling of a large space: logical and solid”, - says the author of the project. A comfortable space with an open structure has become the basis for a respectable interior with muted colors, pleasant to the touch materials and an enveloping atmosphere.

Apartment in the spirit of Italian villas (22 photos)
Type: Private Object: Apartment Total area: 180 sq.m.
Concept
Designer Ekaterina Rudnitskaya's customers are great admirers of the classical heritage, connoisseurs of historical interiors and antiques. “This is an adult married couple whose children have grown up and live separately,” says the designer. “They wanted to create a grand apartment for two in the spirit of soft, lightweight classics. Without excessive decor, with a cozy, intimate atmosphere typical of classic Italian and French villas. We managed to achieve this with the help of nuanced work with color, noble materials and delicate decor.”
The apartment is located in a complex of industrial buildings of the former Java tobacco factory, which have been reconstructed into apartments in our time. “We got a unique space of 180 sq. m with ceilings over four meters - a scale worthy of the classics, if not for one thing.
With such an impressive area, the apartment has only two (albeit panoramic) windows, and even those are located on the narrow side, and one sewer riser. This made it very difficult to choose the optimal planning solution,” the author of the project notes.

Type: Private Object: House Total area: 500 sq.m.
Concept
Two customers - old friends and colleagues, work together, relax together, they also decided to live outside the city in the neighborhood and purchased a three-story duplex in the cottage village "Bristol". They invited the architect Marcel Iskandarov to decorate it, who not only designed a separate wing for each family, but also designed the interiors in completely different ways, in accordance with the tastes of the two customers.
The classical architecture of the village was conducive to the creation of interiors with a historical theme, the author of the project suggested relying on the classic manor style: bourgeois, in a good philistine style with numerous decorative details, custom-made products and antiques. When the design of the house was completed, the architect landscaped the common area and designed a complex of buildings: a guest house with a sauna and a swimming pool, a greenhouse, a garage and a barbecue pavilion.
