Lighting
Unexpected lighting can add interest and create a cozy atmosphere. Lighting also helps to create a more lived-in feeling that is so conducive to relaxed conversation. Add mid-century flair and industrial intrigue to your home with an iconic chandelier, outfitted with exposed bulbs. Place one over your dining table to instantly elevate the space. Or just add a pair of lanterns - they look less formal than chandeliers and instil a space with warmth and light-hearted fervour. Balance the rustic pendants with glam chairs or an equally elegant mirror.
Dining table
Nothing says fine dining like a handsome, modern dining table. Whether iconic or novel, oval or square, invest in a set that is a standout for originality, integrity, style, and adaptability to any modern interior space. Go Boho with mismatched chairs, get a custom plank table that seats 12, or opt for a less-than-traditional table or a bench in place of chairs to keep things interesting. Keep in mind your dining room is the heart of your home, where you serve up food and laughter with family and friends. Choose dining furniture that fits your needs and makes the room an even more comfortable place to spend time.
Wallpaper
Get a dramatic makeover and make your dining spaces sing with a high-octane design or mute it down with a regal pattern. Opt for a tea paper when you want to suffuse your space with femininity, a bold backdrop for unique furnishings or reflective wallpaper that stuns when the lights are lit. Dining rooms were made for lingering and they're all about inviting conversation and connection. In order to achieve this mood, a dining room must be pleasing to the eye, be functional, yet feel inviting.
Eclectic Textiles
Textiles can make a world of difference - especially in unique patterns. Add a bold, vintage Kilim under your dining table to echo a rustic feel, or an elegant hand woven wonder perfect for stylish interiors.
