Ideas for Dining Rooms

Dining room with artwork
A conversation piece, such as this art work, will keep guests’ attention and draw focus around the room rather than just the table. Mix and match chairs to add colour if your dining area is neutral.

Small country-style living room with teal and grey colour scheme
A circular table works really well in a small space and is cosier for guests. The teal, dove grey and rust colour scheme add a modern touch to a rustic dining room.

White conservatory dining room
If you want to make the most of your conservatory, turn the space into a dining room. This lovely white dining room accentuates the natural light, and little touches, such as the flowers on the table and the bowl of apples, help bring the colours from the outside in.

Traditional large opulent dining room
The show-stopping chandelier provides a dramatic talking point and the neutral walls, classic black-and-white prints and dark wood furniture ensure this traditional dining room doesn’t look outdated.

White and pine kitchen-diner
Possibly the perfect canvas for any kitchen-diner. This dining area can be dressed up at night for a dinner party or kept simple for every day use, or for the kids to do their homework. The wall mirror, chandelier and tableware ensure the room isn’t boring.

Small hallway dining area in blue
Hallways are having a major moment right now, and one of the big trends is to turn your hallway into a dining area. We love the mix of wood, stone tiles and bright, punchy cornflower blue.

Medieval-style dining room with modern art
Mixing traditional and modern can mean many things to many people, but we’ve rarely seen a Medieval-style table work so well with powerful pop art and objects d’art, other than in boutique hotels.

Retro red dining room
Statement wallpaper is a brilliant way to zone-out a dining room. We love this bright red retro wallpaper teamed with matching accessories and red and grey floating shelves.

Country-style floral dining room
Shabby chic works so well in a small dining room. An antique mirror, exposed beams and a vintage floral print tablecloth add the finishing touches. Country-style wooden chairs painted in pastel colours give rustic-style a modern edge.

Modern dining room with plum walls
A traditional dining room with modern styling. Plum accents in the lighting and painted chimney breast help to define this as a dining zone. Don’t hide away matching chinaware, display it in a glass-fronted cabinet instead.
