THE DINING ROOM

Start with the table, the heart of the room. Whether you choose polished marble, dark walnut, or light oak, your dining table sets the tone of the space. It is the foundation. Select materials that speak to you and do not shy away from mixing them. Pair a walnut table with oak chairs or contrast velvet seating with table decoration in marble or ceramic. These combinations give the room depth and a unique character.

Chairs are a great way to add personality to the space. Choose designs that blend timeless comfort with a playful, modern flair. Mixing different styles around the table brings energy to the room. Experiment with varying shapes, curved lines, and bold angles to create a dynamic vibe that makes the space feel inviting and alive.

Colors do not need to be the same to match perfectly and work together. A multi-colored rug, bold chairs, and poppy decorative pieces can clash in a way that complements. The color contrasts create visual interest and bring energy to the room without overwhelming it. Skip the perfection and embrace the freedom of mixing and matching.

Accents add personality and warmth to the room. A console table is the perfect place to display art, mirrors, sculptures, or a stack of books. Adding a scented candle creates an inviting atmosphere, letting you step into a scene. Think about items you truly love to make the space feel personal and reflective of your own style.

Lighting is essential in setting the mood. Layer your lighting by using different table-, floor- and ceiling lamps with soft, subtle lighting to create a warm and inviting feel. Sculptural light sources can become focal points, adding dimension to the room. Experiment with different shapes, materials, and levels of light to keep the space interesting.
