Your dining room is a truly multi-functional space - it’s where we eat, entertain and sometimes even work. When designing your dining room, think carefully about how you use the space and what you really want to achieve with the area. Whatever your style, room size or budget, we have the dining room design for you.

Traditionally, every design element in formal spaces matched down to the very smallest detail. However, recently a trend of mixing and matching certain pieces — like dining chairs — has been blossoming among the design community, particularly among those looking to give the space a more relaxed and user-friendly feel. Maintaining one coordinating element is the key to pulling off this look. For instance, if all of your chairs are different shapes, making them the same color will help tie them together. Likewise, if all of the chairs feature distinct artistic details, make sure they’re all made from a similar material.

Using two or more light or track lighting in your dining room will not only create a beautiful visual effect over the table, but also ensure that light spreads evenly throughout the room (as opposed to casting light from a single source). This look also functions particularly well when paired with recessed lighting to illuminate the corners. When purchasing lighting for your dining room, choose two or three matching fixtures that can be spaced evenly over the length of the table. Look for fixtures that come equipped (or can be used) with dimmers so that you can set a sense of ambiance, whether you’re hosting a romantic dinner or just finishing up homework.

Since the table is arguably the most important piece of furniture in the space, it can be tempting to choose something that will make a statement. But rather than choosing an ornate design, we recommend keeping the table neutral so that it will remain timeless despite passing trends. When choosing your dining table, it’s important to focus on the quality of construction. Consider using natural materials — such as wood, glass or even stone — that will give you the flexibility to change up the design of the rest of the room in the future.
