The dining room is the ideal destination for entertaining family and friends. Sometimes, it is less of a “room” and more of a dedicated space or corner. No matter the size, your dining area’s design details should allow function and fun. Looking for ideas or inspiration? Here are some of our favorite dining rooms from past projects. Whether you prefer a formal setting or a more laid-back, funky space, we have decorating ideas and design tips for every style.

Keep the Table Small
Though many dining spaces have large, long tables, you don’t have to choose that for your own home if it doesn’t fit your lifestyle. Forget the stereotypical big dining room table and settle for a smaller, compact choice like the one pictured below.
It’s nice to have a smaller dining room table to accommodate more people in your space!
Utilize Color
Maximize the energy in your dining room with colorful furniture, like these cherry red chairs. The bright red hue adds a lovely pop of color, as does the addition of a cheerful yellow flower arrangement.
Punch up the energy in your dining room with color!
Highlight Architectural Details
Don’t forget to highlight architectural features in your dining room! In the space pictured below, the pastel pink shades, funky wallpaper, and modern light fixture draw your attention to the feminine design elements throughout the room.
Notice the curved lines, hints of mid-century design, and soft complementing colors.
Create an Elegant Oasis in Your Dining Room
This room features white window treatments customized to fit the space, while visually stunning candelabras offer an artistic nod to nature. Additionally, the abundance of windows provides a picturesque view of the outdoors.
This room reflects the homeowner’s desire for calm, casual spaces.
From vibrant and bold to classic and casual, we hope you’ve found just the inspiration you need from these dining rooms.
