Dining Room with walnut wood hand-carved table that seats up to sixteen

MPdL Studio

A luminous dining room with custom hand carved walnut table that seats up to sixteen and holds spaces for custom glass bowls. Furniture in the space includes an exceptional 1950s Dunbar woven-front credenza by Edward Wormley and limited-edition chairs by Danish woodworker Ask Emil Skovgaard. The sheer curtains wrap around the space and there are views to the brickwork on the exterior of the house as well as the custom wood stairs and paneling in the entry.

Handsome doesn't have to be expensive. We love gallery walls, mismatched chairs, flea market finds and an eclectic, urban vibe.

CASA MILLE

Arch. FABIO FANTOLINO Studio

Casa Mille unfolds within the 1930s extension of a historic 19th-century palace belonging to the Counts Callori family, in what used to be the Count's artisan workshop and the former stables in the outdoor garden. Only the kitchen is the only room created inside the building's nineteenth-century sleeve. The history of the property has provided one of the most florid design strands of contents and atmospheres to all the design: the living room was created in the Count's artisan workshop, influencing the choice of an industrial floor in helicopter concrete. The stage instead reflects the historical soul of the house and invades the contemporary part with an industrial finish with an asymmetrical cut. To balance the more informal part of the industrial part, the choice fell on a contemporary and iconic design, through the use of American walnut in custom furnishings and textured and textured upholstery, softening the hard character of the helicopter concrete floor and making the flavor of the whole most welcoming project. The materials in each room chase and contrast, enhancing each other also in the finishes: all the wood has a gloss component that makes it shiny and reflective as opposed to the more opaque and matt finishes of the laminates and lacquers and fabrics.

MPdL Studio - Princeton

MPdL Studio designed this house with healthy living in mind, using materials and furnishings that meet or exceed current environmental standards. The project is an experiment in new ways to think about detailed brickwork, glass, millwork and cabinetry. For the dining room, MPdL Studio designed a walnut wood, digitally designed and fabricated table that could flexibly accommodate groups of varied sizes. The design features a scalloped edge that relates to the body of the person sitting at the table. The size and rhythm of the edge can comfortably seat 10 to 16 people. The divots along the center of the table were designed to receive three different sizes of the Georg Jensen BLOOM mirror bowls designed by Helle Damkjaer. The legs read as extensions of the divots for a futuristic, yet warm, effect. You would never guess that this table is digitally designed and fabricated. A stand out design move in the dining room is to balance the warmth of wood with the reflectivity of glass and chrome, mixing contemporary design with old-world techniques. The dining table is paired with Ask Emil Skovgaard chairs and an exceptional 1950s Dunbar woven-front credenza by Edward Wormley. Conversely, the walls between and around the windows are clad in a slightly frosted Bendheim mirror glass. This allows the wall to read as a singular element, and perceptually expands the size of the space. This use of glass sets the tone for the selection of the light fixtures, and other finishes in the room. In general, we place special attention to the way that window treatments transform a space and the dining room is a good example of our techniques. The wall to ceiling sheer curtains completely transform the effect of the room when pulled to a close, allowing the space to remain luminous, while accentuating the verticality of the space.

Dining Room Design Ideas with White Walls and Blue 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.
