Five delicious dining rooms

When gathering for a meal with family and friends, it’s not just what you put on the table, it’s who you have around it that counts. Having said that, furnishings, fabrics and fixtures go a long way in contributing to the mood in the room. Regardless of whether your style is formal or casual, be sure to top things off with a striking light fixture, or two, to get the room talking.

Chandeliers brighten a living space
Two sets of twin chandeliers add eye-catching grandeur to the formal dining and living room areas.

BRIGHT IDEA: Let your lighting shine
Lighting played a major role in the renovation of an English Tudor built in 1980 in the countryside east of Columbus, Ohio. Nestled among 31 wooded acres in the Pataskala community, the home was sorely in need of a makeover. The end result is luxury living at its finest, where every room shines including the formal dining room where twin chandeliers hang from beamed ceilings to add eye-catching grandeur.

Renovation makes room for dramatic light fixtures
By removing the second floor of the original home, the owners were able to gain a soaring ceiling height for the common areas.

BRIGHT IDEA: Get cozy with a breakfast nook bench
This cheerful breakfast nook has everything going for it—a trendy statement light, a splash of color and a fantastic view. The owners of this St. Petersburg, Florida home took advantage of every square inch of their kitchen, utilizing a small space by the back door to create the ultimate spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. The cozy corner bench beckons the family to take in their surroundings, both inside and out.

Unique chandelier dangles over a breakfast nook
Overstuffed bench cushions and an eye-catching chandelier create a cozy breakfast nook.

BRIGHT IDEA: Mix and match styles
Stone archways provide a subtle visual separation between the kitchen and dining areas in this 2018 Cincinnati HOMEARAMA® home. Metal side chairs and black clad windows add an industrial element, while the stone, ceiling beams, and wide-planked flooring add the farmhouse features. Contributing a bit of a surprising effect are two crystal chandeliers positioned to add elegance to the setting without obstructing the view outside the full wall of windows and French doors.

BRIGHT IDEA: Antiques create great dinner conversation
An antique Moroccan cabinet juxtaposes with the teal wallpapered walls and white tile flooring in this Dayton, Ohio dining room. The homeowners stumbled across the wood cabinet covered in goat leather during a stroll through an antique store in Fez, Morocco. The imported piece, now filled with other treasures from their travels, is tucked into a wall niche in their dining room and complements the midcentury modern design of the space.

BRIGHT IDEA: Black and brass add drama
The dining area resides on the second floor of this urban-designed Tampa home. The eclectic space incorporates a loft-like feel with large windows and a wall of fully retractable glass doors opening out to a large patio. Hints of black and brass, seen in the light fixtures, cabinetry, hardware and custom wall art establish the industrial vibe felt throughout the entire home. Natural materials like hardwood flooring and custom concrete counters complement the design.
