Eclectic Dining Room with Art Deco Stylings

SVM Interiors Ltd

This 5 bedroom home was furnished for clients that lived out of the country and they wanted to AirBnB it when they were not here. It was important for them to maintain some character and their own style, which is a mix of modern and arts and crafts, with some Art Deco accents. The table is a Mathew Hilton Cross table and chairs in dark stained oak. The sideboards are by Marks and Spencer. Accessories by John Lewis and West Elm.

Hackney family home refurbishment

Samantha Watkins McRae

We were thrilled to be asked to look at refreshing the interiors of this family home including the conversion of an underused bedroom into a more practical shower and dressing room. With our clients stunning art providing the colour palette for the ground floor we stripped out the existing alcoves in the reception and dining room, to install bespoke ink blue joinery with antique mirrored glass and hemp back panels to define each space. Stony plaster pink walls throughout kept a soft balance with the furnishings.

Maison Wabi-sabi en Bourgogne

Projet Wabi-sabi

Février 2021 : à l'achat la maison est inhabitée depuis 20 ans, la dernière fille en vie du couple qui vivait là est trop fatiguée pour continuer à l’entretenir, elle veut vendre à des gens qui sont vraiment amoureux du lieu parce qu’elle y a passé toute son enfance et que ses parents y ont vécu si heureux… la maison vaut une bouchée de pain, mais elle est dans son jus, il faut tout refaire. Elle est très encombrée mais totalement saine. Il faudra refaire l’électricité c’est sûr, les fenêtres aussi. Il est entendu avec les vendeurs que tout reste, meubles, vaisselle, tout. Car il y a là beaucoup à jeter mais aussi des trésors dont on va faire des merveilles... 3 ans plus tard, beaucoup d’huile de coude et de réflexions pour customiser les meubles existants, les compléter avec peu de moyens, apporter de la lumière et de la douceur, désencombrer sans manquer de rien… voilà le résultat. Et on s’y sent extraordinairement bien, dans cette délicieuse maison de campagne.

All Fireplace Surrounds Dining Room Design Ideas with Pink Walls

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
