Stylish Dining Room Ideas
Whether your style is formal or family friendly, use these design tips and decorating ideas to update your dining room.1.Mix Color and Style
Play with furniture styles to achieve a personalized look. Just unify with color. These red lacquer bamboo-style side chairs add a bold punch of color that coordinates with the cabinet interiors of this space.
2.Paint it Black
Nothing gives tired pieces an instant lift like glossy black paint. Black spray paint reinvented this 1980s brass light fixture. Inexpensive shades wrapped in apple green ribbon complete the lighting makeover.
3.Soften the Space with Linens
Simple details like the finish of your linens help set the tone of your dining space. This round table and antique chairs are covered in simple linen and checked fabrics. A dainty scalloped edge on the chairs and table topper adds a decorative touch.
4.Save Space with Built-Ins
Add storage to a small dining area with a built-in china cabinet. You’ll not only save floorspace, but you’ll also have the opportunity to integrate architectural details like decorative trimwork.
5.Try a Modern Light Fixture
Forgo the traditional dining room chandelier, and try a more modern approach. The undulating form of this pendant breaks up the otherwise straight lines in this space.
6.Create Privacy with Pocket Doors
Get the free traffic flow of an open plan and the intimacy of a closed dining room by using sliding pocket doors. On the left side of this room, reclaimed heart-pine pocket doors can be closed to hide the kitchen.
7.Highlight Artwork
Make your artwork a focal point by downplaying the other colors in the space. Clean lines and neutral colors give this space a gallery-like feel, allowing a distinctive, brightly colored painting to take center stage.
8.Lighten Up with Windows
Natural lighting makes a dining room magnetic. A clutch of chairs normally found in a living room, including two English wing chairs, amps up this room’s style. Canvas upholstery unites the mismatched vintage chairs.
9.Mix Upholstery
Add textural depth by mixing upholstery fabrics. These dining chairs sport patterned upholstery cushions, and the backs are covered in a coordinating solid.
10.Take Your Cue from the Natural Surroundings
Reflecting its forested location, this house is decked out in a variety of natural materials—from rough-hewn beams to rustic furniture made from branches.
