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.

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.

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 goemtric 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.

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 being used to work or eat it, it can function as a makeshift kitchen island and prep area.

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, a books add tons of color and style.

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 if they're pretty brass!)

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.

Spotlight a Fireplace
Designed by Studio DB, this dinning room is such a nice blend of warm and cool tones. The pale blue-gray and crisp white walls and light fixture as well as the color-block marble table are energizing while the artwork, chairs, and sconces bring in warmth.
The fireplace itself also delivers, creating a cozier environment.

Allow for Flow Between Spaces
The open floor plan in this Chicago family apartment designed by Bruce Fox called for cohesion between the dining and living room areas. That soft peachy paint and deep pink sofa are reflected in the printed armchair at the head of the dining table and also mimic the rosy glow of the pendant light. The color scheme was inspired by a photograph taken of the familay in London during spring, when the city was veiledin

Rework Vintage Items
Though contemporary in look and feel, this dining room designed by Heidi Caillier also boasts a lived-in, historied character. That's thanks to the vintage pieces, from the carpet to the light fixture, as well as the nods to farmhouse style, like the display of decorative plates and wooden table.

Create High Contrast
In this dining room by Raji RM, the large-scale artwork anchors the room and sets the tone. While it speaks to the classic dining set and sconces, it feels fresh against the crisp white coat of paint, blond wood flooring, and pair of contemporary pendants.

Don't Be Too Precious
New York City-based architect and designer Anik Pearson gave this remote Utah dining room a perfectly balanced personality.

Rehab Your Basement
Designer Jae Joo gave this cellar in a Boston rowhouse a sleek upgrade with polished dark gray and black dining chairs and floral vases atop a nondescript table.

How to design a dining room – 10 expert tips to the perfect space for entertaining
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
Looking for expert tips on how to design a dining room? They can be tricky spaces to get right dining rooms, there needs to be a balance between function (checking it seats the right of people for your needs, has the right layout so everyone can maneuver themselves around all the furniture that is needed) and form (ensuring the room will wow your guest and gets the ambiance spot on for the vibe you want to create).
But don't worry, we've asked the experts on how to design a dining room that gets that balance spot on.
So whether you have a separate dining room you are decorating solely with the purpose of it being a glamourous space to host, or if your set up is a kitchen diner, all of these tips will help you make the important decisions on color, furniture, layout and more...
1. Decide on the function of your dining room
(Image credit: Paul Craig)
If you are starting totally from scratch with your dining room, before jumping into color schemes and wallpaper patterns, ask yourself what is the room's main function? Is it just for dinner parties or will you be eating casual family meals in there too? Will it ever need to double as a workspace now we are WFH a whole lot more? How many people will you need to seat? Do you want to create an intimate space or something formal and elegant?
Essentially you need to decide who, how, and when the space will be used and let those decisions dictate the furniture you choose, the color scheme, and the layout.
If you are unsure where to start, we'd recommend going old school with a mood board – save images you like or take them out of magazines and you'll soon start to see a theme occurring. Take inspiration from your favorite bars and restaurants too as these are great sources for quirky decor.
'We always start by asking our clients how often they use the dining room, how many people would typically be seated at the table and the nature of these dinners – whether they are formal, plated meals, buffets from an adjacent surface or passing dishes around the table.' says Brenda Izen of Izen Architecture .
'Their answers will dictate the size and proportions of the room. If they need flexibility in table size, such as the ability to extend the table, this will help to determine room adjacencies. We also work toward an overall look and feel of the space and establish what the main accents will be. Sometimes it’s the light fixture, sometimes it’s a wall or ceiling treatment, sometimes it’s a color brought in with the chairs or window coverings.
'
2. Get your dining room flooring right
(Image credit: Stacy Zarin Goldberg)
Maybe you are sticking with the floors you have inherited, but practical as it may sound flooring in a dining room is a key element to make sure it functions well. A dining room floor should not only look lovely, but it also needs to work hard too, these rooms are high-traffic spaces and are susceptible to spills and stains too.
'When it comes to choosing flooring for your dining room, there are three main things to consider: style and design, durability and ease of cleaning.' explains David Snazel of Carpetright .
'Dining rooms usually see a lot of traffic, so it’s best to opt for high quality, durable flooring that is low maintenance and will stand the test of time. It is likely there will be spills and splashes from food and drinks so choosing a material that is easy to clean is essential, particularly when entertaining. Darker designs and styles will be a little more forgiving to everyday marks.
'
'Hard flooring is a popular option in many homes that often host guests. Engineered wood is a premium solution providing a durable and attractive finish. If you want to add a tactile touch underfoot, layer rugs to add interest with color and pattern.'
3. Plan for plenty of lighting
(Image credit: Ti Archive)
Plan your dining room lighting early on in the design process because it's a really important element as it will set the tone for the whole room. You want to make sure there's enough light so your guests don't appear to be sat in a cave, but you still want it to feel glowy and ambient. Avoid any really strong downlights as not only will they create awkward shadows, they'll spotlight on a single space rather than disperse a low light throughout the room.
Opt for plenty of light sources – a chandelier or a pendant light looks lovely above a dining table, making it the clear focal point of the room but add in lights around the edges of the room at eye level too in the form of lamps or sconces.
If the room is used for more practical tasks like working, or if it's your many dining space that you use day to day, consider going for dimmer switches so you can easily change the mood of the room depending on what it's being used for.
4. Pick the perfect color scheme
(Image credit: Ti Archive)
Moving on from the move practical aspects of designing a dining room to the more fun and creative decisions. First up color. The dining room color scheme you choose will come down the overall feel you want to create in the room – are you thinking dark and sumptuous or bright and airy?
Again, these decisions will come down to how often you use the room and at what time of day. If you often use it for breakfasts and lunches, going super dark might be a bit intense, maybe stick with neutrals or experiment with blues and greens. But if it's solely a place for entertaining of an evening, we say be brave with something deep and rich.
'Dining rooms are often used for more formal social gatherings such as evening dinner parties and therefore tend to be the domain of more ambient lighting such as candles & table lamps so think of colors that deliver richness and dare it be said, glamour!' says Patrick O’Donnell of Farrow & Ball .
'Red was often the preferred color for dining rooms in the 1990s, the color red apparently helps your metabolism! To revisit this tried and tested formula but for a more discerning look, consider the supersaturated Bordeaux red, Preference Red, a decadent, deep wine red that will envelop you in its richness. Use a softer white for your trim as clean whites can be too stark with reds such as Stony Ground whose earthy hue will complement beautifully.'
5. Or add pattern with a wallpaper
(Image credit: Douglas Friedman | Trunk Archive)
Paint isn't the only thing that can bring together a color scheme, dining room wallpaper is a really easy way to bring pattern, color, and texture into a space. We love the fresh, bright colors and prints going on in this space, proving our point that dining rooms are not the rooms to play it safe, have fun with it and choose unexpected patterns that would just be too over the top for your more lived-in rooms.
'As a place that combines food, wine and all your favorite people, the dining room is uniquely important and deserves to make a statement.
Therefore, a beautiful wallpaper or wall mural is always a great idea.' advises Lucy St George, Co-founder of Rockett St George .
'Introducing an instant hit of color and pattern, wallpaper has the power to instantly change the atmosphere of a space, evoke memories or whisk you away to a beautiful destination. When it comes to selecting a wallpaper for your dining space, we would always recommend going bold. A beautifully bold wallpaper, whether botanical, geometric or abstract helps spark conversation and provides the perfect backdrop for dinner party entertaining. As an added bonus, the pop of color and pattern that wallpaper brings also helps to make every everyday family meals a special occasion.'
6. Find the perfect dining room furniture
(Image credit: 2LG Studio)
It's got to the be the key part of designing a dining room – the dining room table and chairs. And it's not a decision to make quickly, really think about what size and shape will suit your space best.
Think about how many people you need to seat when you host? Would an expandable table be the best option or a circular table so you have some flexibility on what the chairs can go?
We'd go as far as to suggest putting down masking tape in the shape and size of your potential buys so you can see how it would look in the space and how easily you can move around it.
And check it's all going to be to scale too, you don't want a tiny table floating in a sea of floor so if your room is more spacious choose a long rectangular design that's going to fill the space nicely. 'When designing a dining room, think of comfort first, we always try to imagine a long cozy dinner party so comfy chairs and a BIG table are a must. Also a connection to the garden, here we use a malachite green as the dining room is right next to the french doors into the garden beyond.' recommend Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead founders of 2LG Studio.
7. Choose the right layout
(Image credit: Future)
It might appear that you are quite limited when it comes to dining room layouts – table in the center, chairs around the edge is there any more to it? Well yes, this setup makes sense but it's not the only option, especially if your dining room is small and it's important to factor in other pieces of furniture and seating and also you might want to consider the room's aspect too.
In a smaller dining room, you might want to up to coziness by placing the dining space in one corner – mixing a circular table with a couple of chairs and a built-in banquette. You then have room to potentially add in a second seating area with a love seat and a bar cart that feels like a different zone within the room.
And in larger dining rooms, float the table in the center and adding bookshelves or console tables at the edge of the room that can double up as storage for glassware and crockery. Emily Henderson's key rule when it comes to dining room layouts is always 'give 30″ to 36″ of a walkway between large furniture pieces (if your dining room allows for it) if not then at least 18″-24″. Make sure you have at least 24″ of space all the way around your dining room table so that people can move freely around it without having to bump everyone at the dinner party on their way to use the powder room.'
8. Bring in practical (but beautiful) storage pieces
(Image credit: Alexander James)
Speaking of storage, it can be useful to have some extra surface space for drinks and decor and a place to store glassware or crockery.
Ben Burbidge of Kitchen Makers says 'good storage is an essential part of a modern dining room. It can help to make your space feel relaxed and, if intelligently designed, means elements such as drinks, cutlery, and crockery are within easy reach yet still discreetly hidden for a relaxed and informal feel. For those that love to socialize including a freestanding larder style cupboard, which could incorporate an integrated wine rack, will make a practical and stylish addition to the dining experience.'
Console tables also make for great storage in a dining room and provide a spot for adding extra lighting and bringing in some decor into a room that most furniture has to be kept clear of clutter. The key to getting this right is to always make sure your console table is higher than the dining table so your eye is drawn to the display and not interrupted by the table.
9. Add softness with a large area rug
(Image credit: Paul Massey)
Rugs are a lovely way to ground a dining table and add in some texture, pattern and color.
The key is to get the right size so your dining table and all the chairs sit comfortably on top but there's still some floor to be seen. Emily's rule on rugs in dining rooms is to 'allow at least 36″ from the edge of your table to the edge of the rug. The average dining table will need a rug that’s at least 8′ wide. This gives you room to pull out your chairs without falling off the rug.'
Think about fabrics too. Avoid anything long pile as dining rooms are of course spaces for eating and drinking so spills and stains are inevitable. Pick something that's hardwearing like jute.
10. Inject some personality
(Image credit: Naomi Finlay)
Then it's just about decor. Bringing your personal style into the space. We are a big fan of gallery walls in a dining room, mostly because they add so much personality to a room, and yet they take up zero floor space and you can switch them out as often as you like to change the vibe.
'Due to the proportions of a typical dining room, it often provides the largest, blank wall in a house and is an amazing opportunity for a place to hang either a large piece of art or a series, and the art has a captive audience!' says Brenda.
Plan out the layout on the floor before you start hanging anything, and don't just stick to a uniform grid, mix and match frames and hang them slightly more randomly for a more informal, on-trend l look. And bring in objects amongst the prints too – plates work nicely in a dining room and give a gallery wall more texture and interest.
What is the best layout for a dining room?
The best layout for a dining room will depend on the size of your room and the atmosphere you want to create. If you want to go elegant and formal, we'd recommend keeping it simple with a long rectangular table running down the center and a comfortable amount of chairs so your guests all have enough space. Consider adding a console table at one end of the room and add a couple of tall lamps to create a symmetrical feel that always adds extra elegance.
If you have a small dining room, or you just want to create something more cozy and intimate opt for a circular table and either keep it center if you have the space and ground it with a circular rug or take it slightly to one corner and use the rest of the room as a more informal gathering space to entertain before you eat.
Add in a love seat and a bar cart too.
What do you need to include in a dining room?
'Comfortable chairs are a must. It’s only a successful dinner if you can sit for several hours without getting shifty. Lighting is also incredibly important and the ability to modify the lighting depending on the setting. We like to incorporate different lighting sources together – pot lights, a central fixture, integrated millwork lighting and sometimes even sconces.' says Brenda Izen.
Adding storage in the form of a dresser, console table or credenza is always handy for drinks and extra crockery. And even if you are squeezed for space, a drinks trolley can hold glasses and bottles so you aren't having to constantly go back to the kitchen for top ups.
And candles are an essential for us too! Unscented taper candles would be our go-to and dot around tea lights in pretty holders too, they will disperse a lovely glowy light across whatever surface you put them on.

Dining room interior: 20 photos of ideas
Broad soul, table holidays, family way of life, these are the phrases that characterize Russians. It is in Russia that from time immemorial a wonderful tradition has developed to visit or gather with the whole family at the same table. For these purposes, the house necessarily had a dining room.
She played a key role in the organization of everyday life in pre-revolutionary Russia, as if she played the role of the center of the whole house.
Unfortunately, it was replaced by small kitchenettes of typical Soviet-era apartments, and it seemed that even the name of such a room as a dining room had disappeared from our everyday life forever.
But fortunately, more and more families have recently found it necessary to plan for such a room when building or buying a home.
Today, the dining room, like a room in a house, is becoming more and more integral to everyday life. And it is very important to give this place a comfortable, finished look in a certain stylistic solution for the interior of the whole house or apartment.
It is important to competently and professionally choose not only furniture and attributes, but also think over the lighting of this room, divide it into functional zones - this is what will enable the dining room to become a favorite room in the house.

Dining room interior: combined with the kitchen
space.
Zoning of such a room is carried out with the help of various design solutions, of which there are a huge variety.
It can be an arched passage between zones or a multi-level ceiling, or even a floor of different heights. By the way, the steps between the kitchen and the dining room are an interesting touch, they give the maximum feeling of dividing the room into zones and at the same time a feeling of a common space.
Such techniques will give a more stylish perception of the kitchen and dining room ensemble. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the operation of the premises, using finishing materials of different properties in the decoration.
For example, to decorate a dining room you need to use materials that give a feeling of home, comfort, such as parquet on the floor, a chandelier hanging over the dining table, wallpaper on the walls.
At the same time, in the kitchen area, it is necessary to use such materials as various types of tiles, washable wallpaper, stretch ceilings.
This is primarily due to the specifics of this room - frequent wet cleaning and cooking.
Dining room and living room
Another option present in the interiors of modern houses is when the dining room and living room are combined. This option is no less practical than the one discussed above. Having finished the feast, you can move to the living room area, where you can continue the holiday or just a family vacation.
This combination also needs strict space zoning. But if in the first case it is logical to apply interior solutions related to building design solutions, then more often the separation of the living room and dining room is conditional and is done with the help of furniture, decorative partitions or the use of decor in a setting using household appliances or even an aquarium.
Although the use of aquariums and other "nature corners" today is not as important in the interior as a few years ago.
Dining room as a separate room
Ideal if the dining room in your house occupies a separate room.
This, first of all, emphasizes the status of the owner and speaks of his material wealth and a certain way of life of your family. About your tastes and traditions.
It is this room that requires the deepest study in terms of interior design, since this is the place where your family meets at a common table.
Before buying furniture, decide on the style of the room, consider as many possible design options as possible in order to most successfully fit the interior of the room into the overall ensemble of the house.
Thinking about decorating the interior, contact a specialized studio with many years of practice and a good reputation, where they will model the interior in 3D and show you how it will look after implementation. Carefully work on every detail of the interior, whether it be the ceiling or decorative elements.
View all furniture options from classic to folk modern. See how it fits into the overall design of the room, how it harmonizes with its parameters, the design of windows, doors and other attributes of the dining room.
View and present the different table and chair options. They are the main attribute of this room.
Consider different cabinets and sideboards. Pay attention even to what dishes will best suit your dining room, since now computer modeling methods can do almost everything, except to put you inside your 3D room.
Arrange the lighting and choose (albeit virtually) the chandelier of your future dining room. In a word, bring your project to the ideal that you have always dreamed of.
As a rule, in design studios you will be offered not only to model the interior, but also help with its implementation. If the family budget allows, this is a very good reason to accept their offer.
Talk about dining room interior is endless, but remember that the most important thing is not to create this room, but to fill it with the spirit of joy, kindness and hospitality. Make it truly the center of family life and a source of traditions for all whom it unites!

How to design a dining area: 5 design tricks
Romantic dinners, family meals, gatherings with friends, board games, important negotiations - all these events are united by a table, and, as a rule, a dining one. The dining area is the emotional center of the whole interior, and its design can emphasize this. We tell you how to decorate the dining room according to modern trends.
Look up
The dining area can be a separate room, an extension of the kitchen, or an "island" between the kitchen and the living room in an open plan. In each of these cases, it requires a separate lighting scenario. Even if it seems that the general light in the room is enough, do not neglect the lamp above the dining table.
Bedroom 2020: hot trends
In the interior of the bedroom, everything should "think" about you: colors, textures and decor.
This is literally your comfort zone, in the design of which your own feelings are always more important than fashion trends. But this year's trends are also very flexible: you can safely choose between romantic floral prints and strict minimalism. We will tell you everything about the design of the bedroom 2020 and help you make the right choice.
A group of lighting fixtures, a chandelier or a colorful single lamp on a low suspension can take on all the decorative load. The trend is large-sized spectacular models.
Spherical lamps harmoniously look above the round tabletops, but it is not necessary to repeat the shape of the table, the main thing is that it is proportionate to the tabletop and hung at the correct height.
Not only the shape of the plafond is responsible for aesthetics, but also the light itself, which will work like a theatrical spotlight, snatching the scene from the twilight. To prevent the spotlight from being blinding, choose a warm, not too bright lighting, reminiscent of the live fire of candles.
Such light will create a chamber atmosphere, the food on the plates will look more appetizing, and the faces of those gathered at the table will be more expressive. A good idea is lamps that allow you to adjust the intensity of light: bright light for a family feast, subdued for an evening for two.
Beauty underfoot
The main focus may not be at the top, but under your feet. Decoratively reinforce the lower part of the dining room with an expressive carpet with an active pattern. Carpet can also serve as a simple zoning tool to highlight a dining group in a European layout where the kitchen, living room and dining room share one room.
Another way to draw attention to what is under the table is the table itself, or rather its sculpted base - a trendy alternative to the traditional four legs.
Head of the table
A promising candidate for the role of the protagonist in the design of the dining room is an accent wall.
The accent can be made due to a contrasting color or an expressive pattern on the wallpaper. If there is no window in the dining room, a framed landscape or trendy landscape panels that will help visually open the wall will be a good solution.

Miscellaneous company
Gathering assorted chairs around the dining table is not a new, but a relevant design technique that has taken root well on the basis of the modern trend to “collect” the interior from elements of various styles.
Different chairs at the same table take the interior away from austerity and conservatism, giving it a bohemian informal atmosphere. You can safely combine: famous designer models and Soviet vintage, solid classics and plastic from the mass market.
Chairs can be combined not only with their counterparts, but also with a bench. If they look like they happened to be nearby, then the dining room is in trend.
If too sharp contrasts are not to your taste, collect chairs that have something in common. You can unite a multi-legged company due to a single color or material. Chairs of different shapes and styles can be painted in the same shade or related with the same upholstery. If you prefer a more delicate approach, gather at the table models from the same series, but in different colors.
