The dining area is where the whole family gathers around the table at the end of the day, and also the place where friends come together on a Sunday afternoon. The dining area can be an annex to the kitchen or an additional element to the living room, a space designed in a way that makes it easier to serve meals. Today we have prepared tips for arranging the dining area and ideas from our projects.

We recommend that the dining area meets the main design theme of the entire home in order to offer a comfortable atmosphere to the space and to consider several aspects related to style – colors, lighting, finishes – details meant to enhance the dining area, visually connecting it to the rest of the house.

The dining area is placed as an extension of the living room. The lighting fixture that occupies a large surface of the ceiling zone harmoniously combines the two functional areas of the room. The neutral background is complemented by the colorful accents in the chairs.

For the dining area, it isn’t necessary to choose massive furniture, imposingly designed chairs, a table in vibrant colors, or sophisticated decorative elements. Keep in mind that the dining zone is a frequently used space, which means you need durable furniture, with simple lines and ample transit space around it for easy movement.

The dining table should be proportional to the available space. If the space is not generous enough and does not allow you to choose a larger table, opt for an extendable one. Narrow models are also ideal for small spaces, especially since they offer enough seating for guests and encourage conversation.
Choose dining chairs based on the table’s height, as well as on the level of comfort they offer. If you have chairs from the same set, you can opt for different colors or choose seat cushions to beautifully complement the space.

In the dining area we chose to mix modern and classic elements. We opted for a table with a wooden top and copper metal chairs, while as a texture for the chairs we chose velvet for extra elegance and comfort.
The dining area should seamlessly continue the overall style chosen for the house. For example, if you chose a classic design for your home, the dining area should be decorated in the same style to maintain balance and harmony.

After selecting the design style, you will choose the colors for the dining area, which will be reflected in the furniture, walls and decorative elements. You can choose a chromatic range consisting of complementary colors or monochrome nuances. You can opt for a dining area in pastel shades or neutral colors for a relaxing atmosphere or you can choose an accent color to provide dynamism to the space.

If the layout and zoning of the house allow, we recommend placing the dining area near natural light, close to the windows. Natural light helps you highlight every detail of the dining area.

This dining area is placed near the window zone, benefiting from lots of natural light. For a balanced environment, we opted for shades of beige, ensuring also a dynamism effect through the chairs’ shade of green.

Regarding the artificial lighting, the best option would be to place a light fixture right above the table – in addition to a pleasant aesthetic, it would separate the dining area from the rest of the room and make it seem like a different room.

This dining zone reflects a transition area between the kitchen and the living room, so a special element was needed to make it stand out. Thus, we chose an imposing light fixture, which provides an elegant air but also light for late meals.
