A cool, sophisticated dining space for a modest budget

By combining contrasting elements, you get a room with sophisticated energy that looks luxe without the hefty price tag. Sprinkled with one or two accent colours, the room looks cohesive but not excessive. Bold black features are highlighted with shades of yellow, oak and gold to make the room pop.

Separate the space

Turn one room into two by using shelves as your wall dividers. This modern cube shape with a see-through aspect gives the illusion of more space, but can also be used to display books, decorations and plants for a more personal touch. Mix in different baskets in black to hide clutter and instantly uplift the look.

Extra seating always on hand

With extra storage space underneath to keep board games or extra tableware, this bench is perfect for small-space living! Keep a handy bench up against the wall, then add it to the table when guests come over. The cut-out handles help you to move the bench around easily.

Create a dining out feeling at home

Styling your table with dinnerware can turn it into a fun restaurant experience when you have guests over. Plates and bowls in grey give a modern take that’s easy to match. Add extras like napkins, flowers and gold cutlery for a luxe look. To make it feel cosy and rustic, serve food on wooden chopping boards.

A rug to make it pop

To make the dining space as inviting as possible, have a soft or textured rug underfoot. A rug with a good size frames the space while giving a sense of harmony and cohesion. Choosing a rug that is textured or made of natural materials, like jute or wool, enhances the feeling of homely comfort.
