In the past you may have seen our 7 inspirational bathrooms or 10 ideas to steal from hotels for a more luxe home. Today it’s all about an often neglected room in our home — the dining area.

Mid-century modern influence
Loft meets luxe with a mid-century modern influence, there’s no other word to describe this dining space than SUBLIME!
Contemporary
This dining room makes us swoon every time! The soft textures of those felt chairs and knotted wool rug, mixed with accents of timber against a white base is pure perfection.
Luxe
Solid stone dining table with architectural dining chairs and those soaring high ceilings, we’ll excuse you if you need to pick your jaw up off the ground!
Moody
Dialling up the drama, this masculine luxe dining room is oh-so-moody!
Rainforest vibes
The mossy green wall colour and cabin-like timber work give this dining space rainforest vibes. When you want to feel balanced and grounded, nothing works better than a green colour scheme.
Eclectic
Neon pieces alongside antiques — why not?! This is eclectic style at its best!
Scandi
That clean-line furniture, animal hide rug and light timber joinery all lend themselves to the Scandi style.
Contemporary coastal
There’s something so effortlessly cool about this dining room Catherine of The Stables created. We love the mix of ocean artwork and cuttlebone wall hanging to add life to the walls, and the combo of that dining table and chairs — gone are the days of matchy matchy furniture!
Industrial inspired
Exposed brick, raw concrete form walls and metal furniture are all characteristics of the industrial style. When you don’t have an authentic New York loft apartment, you can use these design tricks to channel the style.
Rustic
How wonderfully curated is this space that combines moments of luxe (that marble fireplace surround!) with antique pieces and items collected along the way. It’s full of soul and tells a story.

Gorgeous photos! I’m torn between contemporary and mid century as my favourites which probably makes no sense seeing as they’re oposites
He he, those are our two favourites too Rachel 😉
