8 Stylish New Dining Rooms Designed for Gathering
See how designers use color, texture and smart layouts to create welcoming spaces for daily meals and hosting
The dining room serves as the ultimate hosting hub, yet its success relies on a delicate balance between formal elegance and everyday durability. The eight projects featured here show how designers are reimagining gathering spaces with bold wallpaper, color drenching, sculptural tables, vintage pieces and other thoughtful details.
2. Deep Color Moment
Designer: Margaret Carroll Interiors
Location: Potomac, Maryland
Size: 216 square feet; (20 square meters) 12 by 18 feet
Homeowner’s request. After months of trying to gather ideas and buy products, this homeowner approached designer Margaret Carroll “frustrated and confused,” Carroll says. “The decision fatigue was real. She needed someone to walk in, assess what she had and make confident, experience-backed decisions fast, without a drawn-out design process. The room had good bones and some great pieces — a beautiful solid wood dining table, a colorful rug, a transitional chandelier — but nothing was coordinated or cohesive.”
Special features. “The biggest transformation in this room came from committing to color,” Carroll says. “The walls, trim and ceiling are all painted in Sherwin-Williams’ (dark taupe-brown) Mink, a full color-drench approach that immediately gave the room a moody, sophisticated feel. When you stop treating walls, trim and ceiling as separate decisions and unify them in one deep tone, the room reads as intentional and enveloping.
“Beyond paint, it came down to two things: art and the drapes. My client owned a vibrant, colorful abstract piece but it was living in another room, underutilized. I found it during our walk-through and relocated it to the dining room, where it now plays beautifully against the deep Mink-colored walls. The multicolor composition pulls every accent in the room together — the warm walnut table, the black spindle chairs, the rust and blue in the rug.
“The custom linen drapes in gray chambray add softness and height. The mix of seating — black spindle dining chairs paired with a cream bouclé host chair at the head — creates that deliberate tension between formal and relaxed that my client wanted.”
Carroll uses Houzz Pro software to manage her design projects. “I use it for invoicing, time tracking, billing and selection tracking day to day. The Houzz Pro Clipper is probably my most-used feature for sourcing. Houzz is a consistent part of how I run my practice.”
Designer tip. “Stop shopping for new art before you’ve audited every room in your home,” Carroll says. “Most clients have a piece somewhere — a hallway, a guest room, even in that basement storage — that would be transformative in the right context. Art relocation costs nothing and can be the single highest impact move in a room.”

3. Collected and Open
Designers: Kevin Oreck Architect and homeowner Tess Canfield (interior design)
Location: Los Angeles
Homeowners’ request. “The dining room was previously not open to the kitchen, and the kitchen was previously not open to the back garden,” says architect Kevin Oreck. “The goal was to connect the living room, dining room and kitchen to the garden by opening them all up to each other. But we wanted to do this while respecting the original details of the house.”
Special features. “We needed to work off of the marble dining table, which was previously owned,” says designer Tess Canfield, who’s also the homeowner. “To complement the unique color palette in the table, we chose the Ava Marika teal and orange wallpaper from Woodchip & Magnolia, which helped with custom sizing for the inset ceiling. Lighting-wise, we did not want to compete with a very dramatic lighting installation in the kitchen, so over the dining table we chose a 1960s Kalmar flush-mount fixture, which adds a subtle drama and an unobstructed view into the other spaces.”
Designer tip. “I have a personal bias against matching dining sets,” Canfield says. “I prefer a collected feel, even in more formal spaces. Mixing dining chairs and tables, to me, shows a real thoughtfulness and intention. In this case, we mixed two sets of Scandinavian designs from the same 1950s era, alternating on either side of the table. The chairs are subtly different from each other but very different from the table, resulting in a look that is both elevated and unfussy.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “Installing the Kalmar light fixture was an endeavor,” Canfield says. “We had to update the wiring to current electrical standards and install each glass piece separately, which are deceptively different in sizing. Of course, being a vintage fixture there were no instructions and some of the hardware was concerningly stripped. It took a few trips to various hardware stores to find replacement pieces that would keep the fixture secure without sacrificing the vintage authenticity and style. Let’s just say we hope that the LED bulbs inside will last as long as they say they will.”

4. Softly Layered Charm
Designer: Jennifer Morris of JMorris Design
Location: Brooklyn, New York
Homeowners’ request. Designer Jennifer Morris updated this Brooklyn brownstone to give it rich vintage character and highlight its charming distinctive historic details like ornate molding. “I wanted to highlight moments of color and depth with thoughtfully selected wall finishes and carefully chosen fabrics to artfully balance classic elements with modern touches,” Morris says.
Special features. Limewash walls in an ethereal blue and a wax finish. Warm red oak dining table and chairs. Credenza with blue leather doors. Brass cabinet surround and brass light fixture. Custom handmade rug. “The dining room was for everyday use and large gatherings,” Morris says. “The clean sculptural oak dining table is warm and grounding. It offsets the detailed fireplace with ornate carvings, which anchors the room with historical elegance. The rich textural walls add depth and interest. They are moody and romantic in dim light but also inviting and cozy in daylight hours. The wax finish on the limewash gives an Italian plaster feel with an easier install. The wax also has a wonderful sheen that bounces light around.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “This room has three large entryways, and arranging furniture was challenging with only one real wall,” Morris says. “Also, the custom handmade rug showed up 1 foot longer than expected, which was frustrating because we really carefully measured it to ensure spacing between the rooms — but it worked out.”

5. Country House Warmth
Designers: Sarah Cummings of Hillside Manor Decor (while at Haus Interior Design) and Becky Wetzler of Haus Interior Design
Location: Great Falls, Virginia
Homeowners’ request. “This estate home was a new build designed with a European country aesthetic for a family of five,” says designer Sarah Cummings. “The clients wanted a welcoming formal dining room upon entry that conveyed a sense of rustic refinement but could also withstand the everyday needs of their busy family as well as entertaining larger party gatherings.”
Special features. “Though the home is grand in scale and style, we deliberately designed it with a warm and neutral palette in keeping with the owners’ desire for comforting old-world charm,” Cummings says. “We applied contrasting performance fabrics to the custom upholstered dining chairs to be both fashionable and functional. The soft copper-and-teal paisley pattern and velvet textures on the chairs evoke a modern sensibility.
“We opted for a stained trestle draw-leaf dining table with extensions to quite literally expand with their needs. The symmetrical custom built-ins are a mix of both open display and closed storage for practicality. We installed a shimmery Phillip Jeffries shoreline grass wallcovering within the tray molding in the ceiling and a custom rug bound with nailhead trim border as another sophisticated detail.”
Designer tip. “Each space was intentionally designed with its own points of visual interest — wallcovering selections, painted or stained built-ins, custom furnishings, etc. — that continued the flow throughout the home,” Cummings says. “All of the selections needed to be cohesive with the surrounding spaces since the main floor had a fairly open plan.”

6. Made for Lingering
Designer: Tonia Coleman of Le Belle Maison Interiors
Location: Frisco, Texas
Size: 304 square feet (28 square meters); 16 by 19 feet
Homeowners’ request. “The homeowners came to us with a desire to redesign the space so that it felt warm, inviting and deeply functional for the way they truly live,” says designer Tonia Coleman, who uses Houzz Pro software. “They love gathering their family around the table, often for long, meaningful meals, but their existing dining room didn’t support that lifestyle. It lacked comfort, scale and the welcoming atmosphere they were craving. Our vision was to create a space that encouraged connection, where guests could linger for hours without feeling confined or uncomfortable. The clients asked for chairs that felt more like lounge seating than traditional dining chairs.”
Special features. Cerused white oak dining table. Clean white walls (Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore). Custom rug. Performance fabric chairs. Burl wood sideboard. Alabaster lamps. “We selected a custom-sized table with a dual pedestal base that didn’t interfere with the generously scaled, fully upholstered armchairs that provide exceptional comfort while still maintaining an elevated, refined aesthetic,” Coleman says.
Designer tip. “We mixed the burl wood in the sideboard with the cerused oak finish to keep the dining room from feeling too ‘woodsy,’” Coleman says.

7. Playful Family Mix
Designer: Barrett Oswald Designs
Location: North Salem, New York
Homeowners’ request. “The clients have two small children, so functionality was a definite consideration,” says designer Barrett Oswald. “We needed to strike a balance between durable and aesthetically pleasing. The end result is a beautiful home that can truly function for family life.”
Special features. “One of the most special features is the combination of wallpaper and paint,” Oswald says “Layering the two adds depth while still keeping the room cohesive and enveloping. It really came together once we added plenty of art and playful lighting. Those elements bring warmth, break up the structure and make the space feel collected rather than overly formal.”
Designer tip. “One trick we used here that we recommend often is treating the trim and moldings the same as the walls rather than highlighting them in a contrasting color,” Oswald says. “It actually makes the original millwork feel more intentional and pronounced instead of breaking it up visually. It’s a simple shift but it gives older architectural details a more modern, cohesive presence without losing their character.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “As with many older homes, nothing is ever standard — trim profiles are unique, proportions are slightly off and the existing finishes have a depth and patina that’s hard to replicate,” Oswald says. “We spent more time sourcing pieces with texture, subtle variation and a sense of age, and in some cases adjusted finishes so they didn’t feel overly crisp. That extra layer of refinement made all the difference in helping the new elements sit comfortably within the home’s original character.”

8. Moody Glam Vibes
Designers: Jeanie Engelbach and Ryan Romanowski of apartmentjeanie
Location: New York City
Size: 168 square feet (16 square meters); 12 by 14 feet
Homeowners’ request. “When the homeowners purchased this apartment, it was a complete white box, devoid of color, warmth and vibrancy,” says designer Jeanie Engelbach. “The dining area, and the rest of the open floor plan, did not accurately reflect our clients’ edgy, energetic and gothic yet glam aesthetic. As self-identified homebodies who love to entertain, they wanted a space that felt like them and was inviting to their guests. Having worked with them previously, we knew they trusted our instincts and ability to integrate their style and passions into the overall design concept and weren’t at all shocked when we suggested we use our client’s bright magenta-colored hair and black wardrobe as the inspiration.”
Special features. “To bring this vision to life, we fully committed to color drenching the entire open-floor living and dining room in a rich aubergine — Benjamin Moore Plum Royale — that transformed the space from generic white box to something far more regal and cinematic,” Engelbach says. “We carried the graphic metallic Art Deco-inspired wallpaper from the living room as a frieze to add contrast and structure, while the warm walnut custom-built bar and matching record stand introduces depth and acts as visual divider from living to dining area.
“The bar’s mirrored backsplash reflects light and creates an illusion of multiple windows. We inherited the polished live-edge dining table with lucite base from the apartment’s previous owner, then softened the room with curved velvet chairs that play off the plum tones. The chairs’ matte black steel tube frame anchors the hand-knotted wool rug in black with streaks of white . The dramatic Italian cascading crystal beaded chandelier brings movement and glamour.”
Designer tip. “When working with an open-floor-plan living space, it’s important to delineate designated areas within the larger floor plan,” Engelbach says. “However, implementing one consistent decorative element throughout — in this case, the paint and wallpaper — creates a sense of cohesion and continuity.”

Virginia's Award Winning One Stop Kitchen & Bath Remodeling Resource
Designers: Traci Connell and Abbey Latham of Traci Connell Interiors
Location: Dallas
Homeowners’ request. “The original layout of the home wasn’t supporting how the family lives or entertains,” says designer Traci Connell. “The formal living room felt underutilized, while the dining room lacked the scale needed for hosting. We reworked the plan by converting the original dining room into a secondary prep kitchen and redefining the formal living room as the primary dining space. This shift created a more natural connection between cooking, serving and gathering, allowing the home to function with greater intention.”
Special features. Large-scale striped wallpaper. Tiled fireplace. Geometric smoked glass chandelier. “The design focused on proportion and presence,” Connell says. “The fireplace wall grounds the room, while the scale of the table and seating allows it to comfortably host without feeling oversized.”
Designer tip. “Pay close attention to scale, especially in a larger room,” Connell says. “Undersized furniture will make the space feel disconnected, so we selected a table and seating that properly anchor the room while still allowing for comfortable flow. Using an architectural element like the fireplace wall as a focal point adds structure and presence, which means the space can feel complete without relying on excess decoration.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “One of the biggest moments of trust came when we proposed converting the formal living room, complete with a fireplace, into the primary dining space,” Connell says. “It’s not the expected move, and there was a point where the client had to lean on our experience in reworking homes and trust how the space would ultimately feel. The key was showing how the fireplace would bring a sense of warmth and intimacy, allowing the room to feel grounded rather than overly formal. Once the scale, layout and materials came together, it shifted from a question mark to one of the most natural and inviting spaces in the home.”
