Graceful Dining Room With a Modern Twist

Whether it’s a stand-alone room or part of an open-plan zone, the dining area is a place that should be practical, functional and beautiful. A place for family dinners, homework and dinner parties, your dining room has the potential to be one of the most frequented rooms in your home if you get the design right. Dining rooms can be tricky spaces to get right. There needs to be a balance between function and form

If you are starting totally from scratch with your dining room, ask yourself what is the room’s main function. Is it just for dinner parties or will you be eating casual family meals in there too? How many people will you need to seat? Do you want to create an intimate space or something formal and elegant?

Essentially you need to decide who, how, and when the space will be used and let those decisions dictate the furniture you choose, but also the colour scheme and the layout. Take inspiration by saving images you like, doing a mood board or taking inspiration from magazines like the dining room in this article!
