A welcoming dining room with hand-picked pieces

With a backdrop of high cabinets framing a decorative fireplace, this combined dining area and living room blends a traditional style with modern touches, spiced up by details in natural materials. Carefully selected pieces come together to create an inviting, calm mood.

Traditional lines and stoneware in stylish symbiosis

When you have things that naturally go well together – like rustic tableware and this high cabinet – it’s a good idea to let them shine. Ample space on open shelves allows for a collected, decorative display.

Bring out the beauty of wall storage

This arrangement echoes a theme of natural materials seen across the room. The surrounding naked wall adds to the calm, while the benches below are either used for display storage or as extra seats at the table.

The subtle game of connecting colours

Identifying and coordinating tone-on-tone items is a powerful means to tie a room together. The lamp becomes a visual link between bookcase and wall art, a connection easily emphasised further by e.g. a throw nearby.

A different side of everyday storage

Some furniture turns any item into something to look at. Like this timeless glass-door cabinet, showing off hobby accessories as the art that they are. Placing them in an unexpected setting, like a dining area, only enhances the decorative effect.

The centre of the room is what you make of it

You don’t need a high ceiling to achieve a spacious feel (but OK, it helps). Instead, placement is key. Create symmetry, connect colours and materials: rug and pendant, chairs and bookcases. Here it’s the dining table in focus. Stow it away, and it’s a glorified dance floor.
