An intimate, smart and dramatic feel was what we set out to achieve with this formal dining room that sits at the heart this family home. I was immediately drawn to Lewis & Wood’s incredible range of mural-style botanical wallpapers but wanted to ensure the design was muted and sat quietly on the walls above a new dado and panelling that would elevate the room. The paint colours chosen were Charleston Gray for the panelling, Rolling Fog for the doors and Shaded White (all by Farrow & Ball) for the ceiling. The wallpaper is Adam’s Eden in Roan which sits very comfortably alongside the textured Birdlip Twill window dressings in Slade also by Lewis & Wood; the reverse of which was used as a border trim down each curtain and the blind. Sourcing an oval, extendable, pedestal dining table of the perfect dimensions for the space was a huge challenge, so Norfolk Interior Specialists created this bespoke oak piece with beautiful spherical pedestal legs. Under this sits a stunning antique carpet sourced by Farnham Antique Carpets. Pendants over the table are by Visual Comfort and glossy Gourd vase lamp bases on the antique side table in tortoiseshell from Vaughan.

This terrace house had remained empty for over two years and was in need of a complete renovation. Our clients wanted a beautiful home with the best potential energy performance for a period property. The property was extended on ground floor to increase the kitchen and dining room area, maximize the overall building potential within the current Local Authority planning constraints. The attic space was extended under permitted development to create a master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The palette of materials is a warm combination of natural finishes, textures and beautiful colours that combine to create a tranquil and welcoming living environment.

Traditional Dining Room Ideas and Designs

For many of us, our dining rooms are combined with our kitchens or living rooms and so it’s hard to give them a defined style or design, whereas many people who do have a separate dining room often overlook redesigning the space because it is used fairly infrequently. However, if you can make your traditional dining room or dining room area an inviting but practical space to eat with friends and family, then you’ll have no excuse not to be the ever gracious dinner party host and make the most of your traditional dining space.

Dining room ideas can range from the dramatic overhaul of layout, walls, doors, fireplaces or lighting features, to the refresh of furniture such as dining tables and chairs, or even smaller details such as dinnerware, cutlery, chair covers and small decorative features. So whether you are looking to completely redesign your dining room or you’re just looking for some traditional dining room decorating ideas, you’re bound to find some inspiration from other homeowners, designers and stylists who’ve uploaded images of their dining rooms on Houzz.

How should I decorate my traditional dining room?

Elegant, neutral palettes are the safest dining room decorating ideas for smaller rooms, creating a calm dining environment for your guests. Pattern in a dining room can be a great choice to create drama but in order to not overwhelm your guests you might want to stick to a few stand-out elements – for example, wallpaper, curtains or chair covers. If you are lucky enough to have a large formal dining room then you could consider bold, opulent shades for your walls to create a grander feel. Your tableware and serveware should ideally be chosen to coordinate with your decor choices, but if all else fails keep it white, bright and simple.

Lighting is also key to your dining room decor – aim for dimmable light that you can adjust to create the mood that will allow your guests to relax but still be able to see their food. Low pendant lights directly over the dining table are both practical and striking, or for large formal dining rooms you may want to opt for a traditional chandelier hung from the centre of the room. Additional wall sconces along the walls can be a great way to brighten up the room for late night dinner parties, and don’t forget how a couple of candles along your dining room table can add a delicate, finishing touch.
