A space dedicated to good food and great conversation, the dining room is an essential part of any family home — whether you have a small dining space that's outfitted with a cozy banquette or a formal design with a sophisticated dining set. From simple upgrades to bigger renovations, we've rounded up gorgeous dining room decor ideas that make meal time more enjoyable.

Considering you'll spend hours at a time gathered with friends and family in the dining room, the best decorative pieces should tell a story and strike up conversation. For that reason, we love statement lighting, stylish rugs, lively wall art (plus DIY wall decor) and striking wallpaper patterns. As for dressing your dining table, you can't go wrong with luxurious candles, impressive centerpieces and fresh greens. If you're looking for a budget-friendly DIY project, you can create a gallery wall, revamp old furniture or give your walls a fresh coat of paint (note: these colors are trending).

There are so many directions to take, whether you're partial to the farmhouse aesthetic, crafting sleek spaces or you're hoping to bring best 2023 design trends into your interior (hint: warm woods, gold accents and statement rugs are popular this year). Since most people swap their tabletop decor as the seasons change, we've sprinkled in ideas for Thanksgiving place settings, cozy holiday tablescapes and DIY centerpiece ideas that are fitting for spring.

Add Color to Niches

1 of 91

Infuse Niches With Color

It's easy to fill wall niches in your dining room with decor, but you can emphasize them even more with a simple wallcovering. In a Virginia dining room, designer Joe Ireland used a handmade tissue wallcovering by Twin Diamond Studios in the niches to set an elegant backdrop for decorative plates.

Frank Frances

Use Different Upholstery

If you like the idea of mixed dining chairs but still appreciate an element of cohesiveness, use the same chair in different colors and finishes. Here, design duo Cortney and Robert Novogratz added the same chair in different neutral fabrics and wood finishes to the 12-foot-long dining table in their West Village home.

Nick Glimenakis

Add a Built-In Bar

Make sure ingredients for cocktail and mocktail refills are within reach by incorporating a built-in bar unit, like the one in this dining room by designer Eneia White. The custom unit looks like an actual piece of furniture thanks to a coat of Black Satin paint by Benjamin Moore and antique-inspired hardware sourced on Etsy.

Make Room for a Kids' Table

Kids' tables can certainly be cozy and chic. Just take it from the small seating area in a California home's dining room designed by Alexandra Loew. Situated in the bay window, the setup serves as the kids’ table during big gatherings.

Frame the Entry

Everything inside your dining room is crucial but so is the entry to it. Here, designer Lathem Gordon framed the entrance to her Atlanta home's dining room with a carefully crafted gallery wall that sets the tone for all of the estate sale finds and pieces passed down through generations found inside.

Marietta Leung

Angle the Table

If you reside in an apartment with limited dining space, don't simply tuck the table into the corner. Instead, place it on an angle as designer Jasmine Lam did in her London flat. A curved sofa anchors the assemblage and makes it feel more inviting.

Mix Dark Wood and Bright Colors

For Chauncy Boothby's own dining room, the designer paired vintage brown furniture with Lulworth Blue paint by Farrow & Ball and Thibaut wallpaper to give the traditional foundation a playful update. A textured rug and rattan basket give the room a slight coastal feel.

Eric Roth

Fake a Banquette

For a cozy seating setup, fake a half-banquette. In this dining room, designer Liz Caan paired a cushy vintage sofa—that has lots of pillows for back support—with a set of dining chairs to give the room a casual yet welcoming feel.

Make It Pink

Once used as a greenhouse, the dining room in actors Candice van Houten and Guy Pearce's Amsterdam home is romantic yet playful. Designer Nicole Dohmen of Atelier ND Interior added a bubblegum pink dining table by Sabine Marcelis and pink striped Roman shades. The purple curtains match the walls and ceiling, giving the room an overall sophisticated yet lively feel.

Choose a Mural Wallcovering

Tell a story or make a bolder impact with a mural wallcovering, like this one called Menagerie Chinoiserie in a custom colorway by Voutsa. Designer Courtney McLeod included a table with an acrylic topper and chairs in performance velvet that “shimmers and adds glam."

Karyn Millet

Play Up the Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

Keep it simple yet inviting with a dining room the coastal grandmother queen Nancy Meyers would surely approve of. Featuring a large wicker pendant, neutral chairs, and a textured rug, this dining room by designer Kari Arendsen is a prime example.

Helen Norman

Give It an Ancient Feel

To enhance the aged feel of a barrel-vaulted ceiling made of Jerusalem stone in a Florida home's dining room, designer Lauren Liess incorporated antiques including the table, chairs, art, and limestone flooring.

Eric Piasecki

Go Red

Make a statement with cherry red wall paint, red dining chairs, and a red rug. Elevate the look with gold accents, like the chandelier, mirrors, and console tables in this formal dining room by design firm Cullman & Kravis.

Jamie Padgett

Add a Contemporary Fireplace

If a full-blown mantel isn't your style, opt for a more contemporary fireplace to warm up your dining room. The sleek one in this kitchen by designer Richard T. Anuszkiewicz makes it feel like both a living room and a dining room. The extra candles on the dining table add to the ambiance.

Ngoc Minh Ngo

Turn It Into a Tasting Room

If you're a wine aficionado but don't have the space for a separate cellar, make your dining room double as a place to store your collection. Built-in cubbies along one wall—like in this room designed by Pam Schneider and architect Pospisil & Brown Architects—should do the trick.

Tessa Neustadt

16 of 91

Focus on Texture

With textured accents like wicker Roman shades and a handwoven rug, you can easily amplify the warmth in your dining room. Keep the overall look simple with patterned curtains in neutral colors and wood accents, like in this dining room designed by Interior Archaeology.

Eric Piasecki

Think About Trim

Whether it's on your dining chairs or along your walls, trim can instantly upgrade any space. Just take it from this dining room designed by Cullman & Kravis, which features gold trim that wraps around the room and mimics the gold accent along the dining table's bases.

Kelly Marshall

Add an Unexpected Detail

Designer Keita Turner livened up the dining room in this Brooklyn apartment by giving it unexpected details, like one mismatched chair out of four and a geometric mural that plays nicely with the burnt orange walls that surround it.

Separate It With a Built-In Screen

Welcome light and airflow into your dining room with louvered oak panels, as seen in this North Carolina beach house by designer Barrie Benson. The built-in screen offers some separation while maintaining a spacious atmosphere.

Balance Warmth With Formality

A matching table and chair set creates cohesion in this eclectic dining nook designed by Ariene Bethea. Bolster pillows and custom throws make the corner nook extra cozy and multi-purpose. Though it feels tailored, it's still approachable and warm.

Separate Zones With Ceiling Wallpaper

A sunny shade of sisal wallpaper connects the open kitchen to the dining room and separates it from the seating area in this great room designed by Halden Interiors.

Nicole Franzen

Think Outside the Obvious Layout Options

An offset, extra-large circular table flatters the shape of the window nook without appearing too cramped, as it's not crammed right up against the windows nor smack dab in the middle of the room. While the colors are muted and the materials are understated, the geometric shapes throughout add tons of intrigue.

Enable Indoor/Outdoor Flow

Kingston Lafferty Design created an indoor/outdoor dining room by extending a built-in table on both ends of the wall. They're connected by a large window with accordion glass doors for seamless flow when larger parties are dining and visually by the glossy tiles. Visually, they're a stylish statement and outside, a durable, weatherproof material. Plants also make the two spaces feel like they're in conversation with each other.

Heidi Caillier Design

24 of 91

Stay Nimble

Whether you live in a small studio apartment or you're designing a guest area in your home, this micro dining room designed by Heidi Caillier will steer you in the right direction. A slim antique table can seat four if needed (there's an extra stool off the side in the sitting area to the left, not pictured here), but is otherwise nestled against the wall to open up the floor plan. When not used to work or eat, it can function as a makeshift kitchen island and prep area.

Nicole Franzen

25 of 91

Build a Library Wall

Animate the walls while also maximizing storage space with a custom wall-to-wall bookshelf in the dining room. Not only will this guarantee plenty of meal-time talking points, but it also eliminated the need for investing in expensive wall art for the dining room. Books add tons of color and style.

Stephen Kent Johnson

26 of 91

Customize a Banquette

Custom back cushions that match the seats create both cohesion and comfort in this dining nook designed by Studio Shamshiri. The wooden wall paneling warms up the darker elements and also reflects the more casual chairs across the table.

Nicolas Gourguechon

27 of 91

Make Vintage Chairs Comfy With Cushions

Spice up a gallery wall with frames in various sizes and a contrasting pop of color in the middle. If you've opted for an eclectic array of vintage chairs, make them feel cozy with a tie-on cushion, as Devin Kirk did in this playful dining room.

28 of 91

Build In Outlets

Does your dining table also double as a homework zone, cooking prep space, or home office? Optimize your table with outlets, as Heidi Caillier did here. (Bonus points if they're pretty brass!)

Thomas Loof

29 of 91

Use Durable Fabric

Interior designer Welsey Moon clustered some lucite tulip chairs with upholstered seats around a casual Corian-topped table base. These pieces lighten the more formal mood of the deep blue velvet banquette, parquet floors, and antique mirror. And while that blue velvet may look fancy-schmancy, it's actually upholstered in outdoor-friendly fabric so it's super durable.

Tamsin Johnson

Create an Eat-In Kitchen

Tamsin Johnson used sleek stainless steel and striking marble in this kitchen, giving the eating area a glamorous and modern backdrop to compliment the dining room decor. It feels more formal than a typical kitchen nook, allowing the homeowners to use it as a proper place to entertain.

Unusual contemporary style dining rooms

The traditional colors of the New Year holidays are bright red and green, and the main elements are Christmas balls, garlands and a fluffy Christmas tree. nine0003

But if you want to diversify the New Year's interior of your house, make it unusual and original, and at the same time move away from standard holiday color combinations, then use Christmas decorations, garlands and other decorations to match the main color scheme of your dining room, since it is not at all necessary to use traditional colors to prepare your home for the long-awaited holiday.

It's also a great idea to replace the traditional Christmas tree with a fluffy "Christmas tree" garland that can be decorated with Christmas balls, as did the designers of Regina Gust Designs in the photo below. The stylish, elegant Scandinavian-style dining room turned out to be very bright and unusual, and fluffy garlands on the windows are an excellent decoration for the room and a full-fledged alternative to an artificial Christmas tree. nine0003

Brilliant cascading chandeliers and unusual pendant lamps can be a great decoration and addition to the dining room for the New Year, in order to make the lamps even more festive and unusual, you can additionally hang glass Christmas balls, fir branches, cedar branches and shiny garlands on them.

For example, the designers of Mindi Freng Designs used a dazzling and exquisite chandelier placed directly above the festive dining table to decorate the dining room of a private house. Designers added an unusual chandelier with a white garland, transparent glass balls and other unusual Christmas decorations. An elegant, stylish chandelier is made in the main colors of the spacious dining room - snow-white and silver. nine0003

Bright, festive dining room in an eclectic style.

Traditional fluffy Christmas tree for decorating the dining room

The main, traditional element of the interior of the house for the New Year holiday is a fluffy artificial or real Christmas tree.

Most often, a fir tree is placed in the living room, but if the free space of your dining room allows you to place a fir tree, then be sure to use it, as one more festive fir tree will not be superfluous in the interior at all. If there is no such free space for spruce, then you can always find it by moving bookcases, removing bedside tables and other interior items for a while in another room. nine0003 A bright Christmas tree decorated with New Year's toys and garlands will surely become the centerpiece of your New Year's dining room.

Stylish dining room with a huge Christmas tree.

AMR Design placed a large artificial Christmas tree against the wall of the spacious dining room, decorated with a huge number of gold and silver balls.

So, the designers of Regina Gust Designs used golden candles, figurines, ribbons, balls and other accessories to decorate the dining room. nine0003

You can choose candles to match the overall color scheme of your dining room, or candles can be unusual, bright colors, with interior patterns or drawings. You should also consider candlesticks, which, together with candles, can be an excellent New Year's accessory.
