Contemporaneo e Zen a City Life | 102 mq

Quando ho affrontato la ristrutturazione completa di questo appartamento ho stravolto completamente la distribuzione della casa, che aveva la cucina in zona notte (giuro non sto scherzando) e ho cercato di aprire il più possibile gli ambienti. Ne è derivato un gioco di scorci visivi incrociati, di inserti bianchi e dettagli di legno color Bamboo. Il risultato è aver reso la casa molto più vivibile di prima, e aver adottato uno stile essenziale che secondo me in qualche modo evoca la pace di certe case giapponesi. E secondo voi?

BiglarKinyan expanded the existing dining room space into the unused formal living room thereby creating space for a larger table and gathering space. Since the sum of the original living room and dining room space was larger than required only for dining, parts of the space were reutilized as a dining walkthrough pantry and bar, as well as a piano lounge.

Modern Mixed Art Homeland Project | Whole House | Hong Kong

Zepboo

This is a case study of a client living in Hong Kong. The client's residence is a 100-square-meter home. The client approached us with a requirement to find suitable lighting fixtures for their entire house. The home decor style combines modern design with a mix of natural wood and Scandinavian influences. The client wanted to select different pendant lights for each room - the living room, dining room, two bedrooms, and balcony. They wished for these pendant lights to perfectly match the style and complement each room, while also being budget-friendly. For the living room, the client desired a touch of Chinese-style wooden accents. Hence, we selected a bamboo-woven pendant light with a Chinese design. As for the balcony, the client wanted a consistent style with the living room, so we chose a double-layered bamboo-woven pendant light. For the two bedrooms, the master bedroom leaned towards a predominantly white color scheme, so we opted for a white Scandinavian-style pendant light. The second bedroom had a focus on natural wood, so we selected a wooden pumpkin-shaped pendant light. For the dining room, which had an overall modern white theme, we chose a white Macaron-style PH5 pendant light. Interestingly, during the process of selecting lighting fixtures, the client also became interested in our multifunctional robot-inspired five-layered dressing table. They ultimately decided to purchase and install it in the master bedroom. Upon receiving the products, the client expressed their satisfaction with how well the lighting fixtures aligned with their requirements. We are delighted to share this case study with everyone, hoping to provide inspiration and ideas for their own home renovations.

Wabi Sabi Wind Paper Pendant Light Project | Dining Room | France

Zepboo

Introducing a client case study from Marseille, France. Our client resides in a 75-square-meter residence and prefers a modern minimalist interior design style. With a penchant for white and wood tones, the client opted for predominantly white hues for the architectural elements, accentuated with wooden furniture pieces. Notably, the client has a fondness for circular shapes, which is evident in various aspects of their home, including living room tables, dining sets, and decorative items. For the dining area lighting, the client sought a white, circular pendant light that aligns with their design preferences. After careful consideration, we selected a round pendant light crafted from rice paper, featuring a clean white finish and a touch of modern Wabi-Sabi aesthetic. Upon receiving the product, the client expressed utmost satisfaction, as the chosen pendant light perfectly met their requirements. We are thrilled to share this case study with you, hoping to inspire and provide innovative ideas for your own home decor projects.

Nordic Flower Macaron Pendant Lamp Project | Dining&Living Room | HongKong

Zepboo

This is a case study of a client living in Hong Kong. The client's residence is an 80-square-meter home. The client has a preference for a modern minimalist Scandinavian style, with an overall white color scheme complemented by colorful decorations. The client's objective was to select a pendant light for the dining area, specifically in white color, and not too large in size. The client favored small and simple designs. After careful consideration, we recommended the elegant and compact bud-shaped white Macaron pendant light, which is one of the most popular choices for Nordic-style small pendant lights. Given the size of the dining area, we suggested the client purchase two of these pendant lights to achieve better lighting effects. Upon receiving the products, the client expressed their satisfaction, as the pendant lights perfectly matched their requirements. We are delighted to share this case study with everyone, hoping to provide inspiration and ideas for their own home renovations.

Dining Room Design Ideas with White Walls and Yellow Floor

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.
