The art of entertaining: 3 different dining room styles
Most homeowners in London love to receive people and entertain. Is there a better feeling than hosting your loved ones under your own roof? A gathering that brings everyone together, where you can create memories and spend quality time with the people that mean the most to you, is part of home life. Everyone’s style of hosting is different, and that’s why designing your dining room in a way that supports your hosting style is key. Here are three styles of dining room design for you to consider.
The elegant host:
Incorporating a formal dining table with a luxurious look and attention to detail will create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Choose upholstered chairs for added comfort; encouraging guests to linger around the table during extended dinner conversations will result in late nights of laughter and joy.
Ambient lighting, such as chandeliers or pendant lights, enhances the sense of sophistication by adding depth and providing an inviting glow.
The casual gatherer:
Whether it’s a terraced, Georgian, or Edwardian detached house, or whether it’s a rustic look or an urban-style dining table that invites a relaxed and approachable vibe, this design is for the hosts who invite guests around whenever they like. Have breakfast with school mums, lunch with your sibling or dinner with friends here. Mix and match seating with a combination of chairs and benches for a laid-back atmosphere that will make your guests feel right at home.
You can integrate versatile storage solutions like sideboards or open shelving to display curated décor items and easily accessible serving ware too.
The modern entertainer:
Choosing a sleek and minimalist dining table with clean lines and a contemporary aesthetic reflects a modern sense of style. This is for the hosts who want minimal maintenance yet wish to make their guests feel welcome. Bringing comfortable yet stylish chairs with unique shapes adds an element of design that will get your guests talking.
Each design approach caters to different types of hosts, ensuring that the dining room aligns with your entertaining style, the capacity required, personality, and the overall atmosphere you wish to create. Your social gatherings are important so let’s get it right. Years from now, you will look at your dining room and allow those memories to come flooding back. The heart-warming moments that make life meaningful are those we share with others.
