The dining room is a room that has been a common theme for me this month. I have helped one friend make the most of her conservatory-come-dining room; am in the process of helping another friend add colour to her dining room. In addition to this, I am designing a dining room in the style of Philippe Starck for my course (photos of all of the above to follow); and I am also still in the (long) process of designing my kitchen-dinner for when we get our extension.
I must confess that I have never given that much thought to the dining room, as an owner of a small flat, to dedicate one room to eating and entertaining is too much of a luxury. However, during my research, I have been insipred by the ones below (all from House to Home).
 |
| Eclectic dinning room with a mish mash of colours and types of chairs |
 |
| Pretty in pink |
 |
| I LOVE the way the wallpaper continues on the ceiling - very brave! |
 |
| Two-tone green and turquoise works surprisingly well |
 |
| Dramatic dark blue is softened by the pink flowers |
Whilst I love these colourful rooms, the ideas I have for our extension, will mean a more simple palette for a calm effect, more similar to the images below.
 |
| The floor to ceiling glass doors make the garden almost part of this room |
 |
| Simple monochromatic palette brought to life with patterned textiles and chairs |
 |
| A simple bench set-up is made more interesting with an unusual arrangement of paper lanterns |
 |
| This is gorgeous - black bentwood chairs and large glass doors in black aluminium - makes me swoon! |
