Wipeable leather seating surrounds a very large extension table in a family-friendly dining room. Built-in storage was added to both sides of the dining room and painted wall color to maintain light and flow from the open living room. The HVAC system is buried in the base of this particular cabinet. Cesar-stone was used at the built-in counter tops for ease when serving buffet-style and the LED under-cabinet lighting is on a dimmer to set the ambiance.

A hot trend that shows no sign of slacking, exposed brick is a great way of bringing texture into the design of the space. Playing off of the taupe in the mortar, the paired chairs at this chic dining table tie in the warm grey throughout the home while playing with a burst of color in the hanging lighting.

Dining room - mid-sized contemporary u-shaped dining room idea in San Francisco with flat-panel cabinets, light wood cabinets, granite countertops and an island

Design Firm - Lee Meier Interiors The patterns, colors and furniture plan all played important roles in this individualistic dining room. Moving the dining table to the back wall rather then the center of the room allowed the opportunity to add a long beautiful banquette with flanking bookcases. I turned the paper to be hung horizontal to get a more modern stripe and that coordinates well with the sheers. The unique dining chairs feature a Malachite patterned fabric with emerald mohair seats while the banquette has many different patterned pillows adding a nice warmth to the room. The two Shagreen bookcases give more space which dining rooms tend to lack to add personalized accessories and frames.

Great room - modern great room idea in Denver with white walls

Spyder Wood Dining Table delivers a delightfully original design and material combinations. Manufactured in Italy by Cattelan Italia, and designed by Philip Jackson, Spyder Wood Dining Table takes advantage of its high modern base and incorporates it with the more organically inclined top.

The square dining table repeats the shape of the square kitchen island and the same chandeliers hover over each of them granting them the same formal treatment.
