While the classic dining room may have once been viewed as a formal, stately space, the contemporary dining room can easily inject effortless style and sophistication into your home. If you’re aiming for a modern space which is also perfect for entertaining guests, we’ve curated a few dining room décor ideas to complete your happy home.

Turn to rustic wood and ceiling windows for a country inspired space: Try bringing a hint of farmhouse charm into your space, in the form of a reclaimed wood table and rustic wooden floors. Meanwhile, slender white chairs, white blossoms paired in a clear glass vase and hanging pendant lamps can complete your space. As we settle into Spring 2017, ceiling windows also offer a peek of the great outdoors and usher sunshine into your dining room.

Use a round wooden table for a chic and unconventional finish: For anyone who wants to avoid the traditional long dining table, a circular wooden table just may be your solution. Add funky seats, a white crochet lampshade and a grey and white colour scheme for the ultimate space.

Complete your dining room with a glasstop table and plush black chairs: While wood is certainly a popular material for the average dining room, the look of clear glass can also impart elegance. A glasstop dining table offers a modern touch, while black seats provide an edgy contrast. For a finishing touch, adorn your walls with colourful artwork and dangle a gold metallic chandelier from your ceiling.
