Dining Room Interior Design

Wood tones can add a polished, warm feel to a dining room of any size, even for small dining room decorating ideas. However, our interior designers agreed that you don’t have to worry too much about matching wood tones, as subtle nuances between flooring and furniture make the eye travel.

Go to the old school

Since memories and culinary experiences are closely linked, you transport your guests to moments from the past. While we don’t recommend a completely traditional overhaul, the familiar provides comfort. Therefore, consider adding elements to your interior design in the dining room that hint at the past, whether through vintage quirks or a grand gesture.

Lighting is the key

Just look at the glowing natural light of artist Kaws’ Brooklyn dining room and the vibe it gives to the simplicity of mid-century modern decor. The same goes for the lighting elements of your dining room – remember that your dining room has mood-enhancing, romantic and ultra-bright settings for your dining room throughout the day.

Get Dramatic

Traditional or modern, adding drama to your dining room interior design can be easier than you thought. From large-format flower arrangements to oversized palm fronds to sculptural decorative objects, it’s easy to create a sense of drama even in the smallest of doses.

Stick to symmetry

While mismatched chairs still have a fresh, contemporary feel, there is something to be said about the relaxing energy that a symmetrical dining room interior can add to a home. The dining room upstairs offers a disciplined formality that still feels opulent thanks to flashy matching chairs that make up the subtle blend in the space.

At least a mirror is essential

Notice how elegant and simple the space upstairs is, but the polished brass chair legs and a minimal round mirror add a polished elegance to the interior design of the dining room that is sure to be timeless. Do a similar thing and bring at least one meaningful mirror with you to quickly create a grown-up sense of glamor – it’s that simple.
