Look #1

Senior style editor Sally Armstrong’s dining space is a breath of fresh air. She stuck with a largely white palette, grounded by dark accents as well as a hit of bright color for a sense of playfulness. The strong, clean lines of the dining table are accentuated by it’s chunkiness, which acts as a fantastic contrast to the dainty as well as shapely bistro-style bentwood chairs. If you have an general white as well as black palette, don’t be afraid to add a great dose of color, even if it’s just in one statement piece — it can truly make the space come together.

Look #2

This dining space by designers Christine Ralphs & Michelle Lloyd Bermann mixes ’50s Hollywood antiques with a palm beach breeziness that’s irresistibly dreamy. The freshness of the simple white table as well as wicker chairs lighten the look of the glam pieces in the space.

Glam it up with a smoked mirrored sideboard (try putting two side-by-side to achieve a long, sweeping large look) as well as an elegant gold-toned lamp.

Look #3

In the Calgary house of a young family, designer Nam Dang-Mitchell designed a awesome as well as contemporary dining area that still feels warm as well as inviting. There is a great deal of wood in this look, so the key to mastering this mix is to make sure your dining chairs and dining table have different colors of wood. If the woods are as well similar, it will look as well matchy-matchy. Nam Dang-Mitchell went with a pale white oak table as well as medium walnut chairs, which have a fantastic contrast against each other. To prevent going overboard on mixing wood tones, select a sideboard that feels like one of the two woods you already have. In this case, a wood sideboard that takes a cue from the walnut chairs works perfectly, as well as a fresh white frame adds a awesome touch.
