Special features. Midcentury furniture. Pinkish rug. Green walls. “The Benjamin Moore Lafayette Green paint really makes the room,” Kushlan says. “Without it, the space certainly wouldn’t have as much visual impact.”Designer secret. “Don’t be afraid of color,” Kushlan says. “Working with a professional to find just the right hue is also helpful. What works in one home may not be right for another, so remember, paint isn’t a one-size-fits-all.”“Uh-oh” moment. “We went through several shades of green before finding the right one,” Kushlan says. “We would see them one day, think we had the perfect one and then come back the next day only to change our minds. Because paint can change so much in different light, it’s essential to see it morning, noon and night before taking the plunge and deciding on a single color.”Paint: Lafayette Green, Benjamin Moore; dining table, chairs, bar cart and chandelier: West Elm; artwork: Minted; ceiling fan: Rejuvenation; mirror: Anthropologie; rug: Lulu & Georgia; table accessories: CB2See more of this home | Browse modern dining tables
21. This updated bungalow in Los Angeles’ Hermosa Beach features a dining room that is a perfect marriage of Arts & Crafts and contemporary style. The new dining table and chairs were inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, while the stunning glass chandelier would look right at home in the most modern of spaces.
1. A Formal Surprise!I don’t know about you, but as I got to know this list I felt sure the No. 1 dining space would be a cozy breakfast nook or inviting kitchen booth. But, no, formal dining still rules. This room is part of a Houzz Tour that was a hit with readers in 2017 — one with transitional farmhouse style, smartly designed based on Not-So-Big-House principles. While this is a separate formal dining room, it has cozy proportions and casual touches. For instance, all of those windows make it feel like a sun porch. The mix of seats and a bench keeps things family-friendly for little ones to eat in here, and the table and lanterns bring in farmhouse style. There’s direct access off this room to the home’s wraparound porch. Meanwhile, the coffered ceiling, substantial wainscoting and drapes lend traditional dining room formality.Takeaway: You really can’t go wrong with a coffered ceiling in the dining room.
