Retro-modern dining space that’s the heart of this home

Here’s a modern-style dining area with retro details and warm colours that’s the hub of a small, open-plan home. At its centre is an extendable table, matching chairs and glass-door cabinets that turn storage into decorative display. Brown-stained wood and soft, rounded shapes bring calm, while posters on one wall add an art gallery feel.

Furniture you can use for more

The space is small, so the furniture needs to multi-task. The trolley provides mobile storage for cooking and for serving. The table works for more than just meals – hobbies, for example, or planning a dinner for friends. Its retro design and rich wooden tones help set the mid-century modern look in the room.

Storage with a decorative twist

A modern-style cabinet, matching the room, keeps glasses conveniently close to where they’re used. It means the kitchen doesn’t need wall cabinets for storage, giving a more open, airy feeling. The reeded glass makes the tableware behind it look extra decorative and atmospheric, too. And you get opportunities to display some of your favourite objects on the open shelves and the space on top.

Set the table and boost the style

Sitting up to six people is easy with this extendable table. Its thick beech veneer adds to the calm, cosy atmosphere. The coordinated tableware is simple and practical but also decorative. It strengthens the retro style and helps the meal appeal to the eyes as well as the taste buds.

Spacious storage that highlights your favourites

Two cabinets provide organised storage, again with reeded glass doors enhancing the decorative effect. They’re spacious, so two of them can hold a lot of dinnerware, plus they make a bigger impact this way. They have spotlights added inside to make your favourite pieces shine even when they’re not on the table.

Art and a retro touch in a modern-style dining space

This dining space between kitchen and living area is truly the calm heart of this home. Soft, rounded shapes, warm wood and retro details set the style, while the posters and their frames, their impact enhanced by the muted colour of the wall, make a big personal artistic splash.
