A welcoming dining room with hand-picked pieces
With a backdrop of high cabinets framing a decorative fireplace, this combined dining area and living room blends a traditional style with modern touches, spiced up by details in natural materials. Carefully selected pieces come together to create an inviting, calm mood.
Traditional lines and stoneware in stylish symbiosis
When you have things that naturally go well together – like rustic tableware and this high cabinet – it’s a good idea to let them shine. Ample space on open shelves allows for a collected, decorative display.
A natural spotlight on the dining table
The table setting takes inspiration from the natural materials in the room – including the pendant above – to create a table defined by straightforward, stylish simplicity.
Bring out the beauty of wall storage
This arrangement echoes a theme of natural materials seen across the room. The surrounding naked wall adds to the calm, while the benches below are either used for display storage or as extra seats at the table.
The subtle game of connecting colours
Identifying and coordinating tone-on-tone items is a powerful means to tie a room together. The lamp becomes a visual link between bookcase and wall art, a connection easily emphasised further by e.g. a throw nearby.
A different side of everyday storage
Some furniture turns any item into something to look at. Like this timeless glass-door cabinet, showing off hobby accessories as the art that they are. Placing them in an unexpected setting, like a dining area, only enhances the decorative effect.
The centre of the room is what you make of it
You don’t need a high ceiling to achieve a spacious feel (but OK, it helps). Instead, placement is key. Create symmetry, connect colours and materials: rug and pendant, chairs and bookcases. Here it’s the dining table in focus. Stow it away, and it’s a glorified dance floor.
