This dining room uses streamlined mid-century modern style furniture and pops of gold to create a space-savvy and elegant design. Making it the perfect space for someone who wants to make a statement in their small dining area.

Moody and dramatic this dining room proves that contemporary style doesn't have to be all neutrals and rounded lines. Rich wood finishes, a patterned wool rug, and camel colored leather dining chairs carry the contemporary design movement's signature simplistic silhouettes but have a surprising edginess thanks to their dark colors.

Not only does the extendable dining table in this room create space options for your guests. But the minimal style also leaves room to breathe by creating an open and airy space.

Keep things simple with this a fall tablescape that leaves room for everyone's plate but still feels sweet enough to show you care. Here a bowl of seasonal pears and an olive branch in a simple vase are a wink and nod to the season. They invite guests to your fall holiday table and leave room for all the wine bottles, plates, and dessert dishes they might bring with them.

Preparing for the holiday season can be daunting. Whether you're hosting for family, friends, or roommates, the pressure to create a memorable holiday experience can get in the way of you actually enjoying the holiday. Set your self up for holiday season success with a dining room mixes minimal ornamentation with high impact autumnal inspired design. Here smooth uncomplicated finishes make for an easy post-celebration clean up. At the same time, bold silhouettes and stunting autumn hues imbue the space with a festive and joyful feeling that will last through the holidays and beyond.

A jute rug in an oversized ikat print provides a durable anchor to this hip dining room. The spun globe pendant light adds drama without being too serious.

Mixing style elements like modern and eclectic can create a transitional design. While the table is simple and has clean lines the chairs add a fun eclectic style. A bright colored rug and a pop of modern art ties this dining room together! 

This dining room is definitely dominated by the dining table. A clean-lined but heavy table, the dark, rough wood creates a definite rustic feel, which is supported by the complimentary wood tones of the dining room chairs. (The two wood tones flow together nicely since they’re both in the warm wood tone family.) But mid-century modern shapes keep the look from veering too rustic.

If you live in a small apartment or are otherwise really short on space, a built-in alcove can make an excellent spot for a minibar. It also works if you have a built-in cubby or awkward feature that you don’t know what to do with!

If you want to create a clutter-free dining space that still packs a punch, we suggest taking a queue from this dining room. Each item in this design from the chandelier to the marble table has a bold yet clean silhouette. This combo makes for tidy space that leaves a lasting impression.
