Contemporary Dining Room

Large-paned windows allow for maximum light in this bright, modern dining room. The colourful artwork and dark dining table provide colour and depth to an otherwise pale scheme, while the Barker & Stonehouse bucket chairs give the space a cutting edge.


Keep your table setting sophisticated with shades of moss green, lime and deep purple, set against glossy black table and chairs from Mufti, with a neutral linen runner. Here, Arthur Price cutlery has been decorated with berry sprigs and tied with ribbon, while beautifully scripted place cards add a welcoming touch.

A Habitat glass trestle table and Louis Ghost chairs by Philippe Starck reflect light and enhance space. White walls, exposed brickwork and a steel pendant light are modern, a reclaimed radiator and wooden floorboards add a traditional touch. A Cath Kidston spotted oilcloth provides colour, a squashy leather armchair textural contrast. Frosted film at the windows gives privacy.

The deep blue walls really add drama to this dining room, when contrasted with white chairs from Ikea and a stylish lampshade from Vaughan Lighting. The overall look is sophisticated and the contrast of colours work well, finished off with striped cushions and a dark wood table.

The claret reds and warm woods of a traditional dining room are given a contemporary twist with iconic designs like the Arco light and the chairs from The Conran Shop.

White walls and a creamy floor are the backdrop to a bright photograph of flowers, whose colours are echoed by the roses on the table. Rich grained contemporary chairs and glass-topped table from The Chair Company are offset by a dramatic black wall. Sliding glass doors bring the garden in.
