Dining Rooms Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Dining Table Design

4 years ago

Hello,

I’m slightly struggling with some design ideas for my dinner table. I’m really keen on having a runner, placemats and a centrepiece but don’t want to overcrowd the room or make it too dull.

I really like some slate placemats and coasters like the attached but was wondering what people’s thoughts were and whether anyone had any ideas on what kind of runner to get? Or any suggestions on placemats to bring the room together?

I’ve also attached pictures of the room

Thanks in advance.

Hi there - the slate looks lovely! You could try placing the placemats only first and see how it looks? I think the coasters might make it a bit cluttered as you said. You could keep them to one side and place them out during meal times? Just a case of trial and error as only you can truly see what feels too much etc.

Hi. Personally, I'd go for softer textures, like these linen runners and place mats or jute ones from Nordic house. You could also add a large plant and maybe a window dressing in your colours or just some sheers? Perhaps also some art on the wall opposite the fire An do paint the radiator in the wall colour? If you didn't want the table permanently laid you could just add the runner and a tray with some decorative pieces

Lovely space, I imagine at this stage you have got sorted with the table and chairs... what did you choose. My flooring looks like yours a bit... ceramic tile made to look like wood... I'm thinking of a wooden table and chairs for mine... currently dark grey but I think ash or light oak would warm the space nicely

We are building a vacation home which is open concept. The dining table area back wall is 10'7" wide. When facing the dining area there is a half side wall that comes out which is approx 6' that opens to the the living area and another small wall approximately 3' that juts out on the right side. I'm in the process of buying a dining table and want to make sure that there's enough room for chairs to be pushed in and out and access to the back of the table. I love a table that is 88" long but I think it may be too long. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got A lovely caligaris dining table that I bought for my previous much smaller dining room and don't want to part with it. It extends to double length but it's quite narrow. Any ideas for how to source a good topper to make it wider/proportionate? It will be our main surface for eating, so needs to be stylish yet durable

I would only put out your place mats when actually eating at the table. When not in use a linen table runner would look good and then add a plant or candles or flowers etc. Here’s a couple of ideas.

What Sonia said. I'd also take a look at circular table mats, as there are a lot of rectangles in the room already.
