Modern Dining & Living Room Accent Lighting This new construction modern style residence is located in a Mid-Town Tulsa neighborhood. The dining/living room has 18-foot ceilings with beautiful, aged wooden beams, and a textural stone fireplace as a wall divider between the two rooms. The owners have a wonderful art collection with clean simple modern furniture accents in both rooms. My lighting approach was to reflected light off the art, stone texture fireplace and aged wooden beams to fill the rooms with light. With the high ceiling, it is best to specify a 15-watt LED adjustable recess fixture. As shown in the images, this type of fixture allows me to aim a specific beam diameter to accent various sizes of art and architectural details. The color of light is important! For this project the art consultant requested a warm color temperature. I suggested a 3000-kelvin temperature with a high-color rendering index number that intensifies the color of the art. This color of light resembles a typical non-LED light used in table lamps. After aiming all the lighting, the owner said this lighting project was his best experience he'd had working with a lighting designer. The outcome of the lighting complimented his esthetics as he hoped it would!

This 1990’s custom home previously had a small kitchen and living spaces that didn’t accommodate the homeowners love for hosting large gatherings. By rearranging the layout. opening (and closing) several walls, we were able to create a cohesive living, bar, and kitchen space that is now open to the family room. While we did not want to disrupt the exterior of the home, we reframed the old sliding door to allow us to wrap the cabinetry and install new windows providing light and views to the yard. The expansive kitchen is bright and airy with plenty of storage including a wrap around butlers pantry. Our team crafted beautiful wood accents throughout including: the hood, floating shelves, large table that can seat up to 10 people comfortably, and custom light fixture in the bar area. The bar is not only a fun area for entertaining, but highly functional with deep drawers for bottles and glassware, built-in ice maker and beverage cooler, a full sink and dishwasher, and custom millwork to frame a tall wine refrigerator.

Originally, the dining layout was too small for our clients needs. We reconfigured the space to allow for a larger dining table to entertain guests. Adding the layered lighting installation helped to define the longer space and bring organic flow and loose curves above the angular custom dining table. The door to the pantry is disguised by the wood paneling on the wall.

Dining Room with Slate Flooring and Exposed Beams Ideas and Designs

For many of us, our dining rooms are combined with our kitchens or living rooms and so it’s hard to give them a defined style or design, whereas many people who do have a separate dining room often overlook redesigning the space because it is used fairly infrequently. However, if you can make your dining room or dining room area an inviting but practical space to eat with friends and family, then you’ll have no excuse not to be the ever gracious dinner party host and make the most of your dining space. Dining room ideas can range from the dramatic overhaul of layout, walls, doors, fireplaces or lighting features, to the refresh of furniture such as dining tables and chairs, or even smaller details such as dinnerware, cutlery, chair covers and small decorative features. So whether you are looking to completely redesign your dining room or you’re just looking for some dining room decorating ideas, you’re bound to find some inspiration from other homeowners, designers and stylists who’ve uploaded images of their dining rooms on Houzz.

How should I choose my dining room table?

Dining tables can be large, imposing pieces of furniture and so it’s a good idea to choose your table first and plan your decor around them. Comfort and ease of movement in dining rooms is key – even though we spend most of our time sitting, it’s preferable not to dine in cramped quarters (and crucial as a host to be able to move around the table to serve your guests). When choosing your dining room table, consider the number of people you expect to regularly seat – the perfect size for a dining table allows an intimate meal without feeling crowded. A round table leaves plenty of room for serving food at its centre, but a rectangular table is more flexible for seating extra guests at either end. If you’re after true versatility, drop leaf or extendable dining room tables are the most convenient option. The material of your selected table will set the character of your room. Glass dining tables look sleek and modern, whilst a pine or oak dining table will lend dining rooms a rustic country vibe. For a more traditional dining table opt for a dark polished wood like mahogany. Check out all the dining room decorating ideas on Houzz to see how different materials of dining table are incorporated into different rooms.

What are the best dining chairs for my table?

If your table hasn’t been sold with matching chairs then you have some extra flexibility to select dining chairs that suit your desired dining room feel. For traditional dining rooms you will want to opt for a full set of high backed formal dining chairs, whether these are upholstered, leather or wood framed. If you are looking for a more informal dining room, then a selection of mismatched chairs in different materials such as moulded plastic and even metal can be a great way to achieve this. For a really relaxed dining experience, you could even opt for a full length bench, which has the additional advantage of saving space as it can be tucked away under the table when not in use.

How should I decorate my dining room?

Elegant, neutral palettes are the safest dining room decorating ideas for smaller rooms, creating a calm dining environment for your guests. Pattern in a dining room can be a great choice to create drama but in order to not overwhelm your guests you might want to stick to a few stand-out elements – for example, wallpaper, curtains or chair covers. If you are lucky enough to have a large formal dining room then you could consider bold, opulent shades for your walls to create a grander feel. Your tableware and serveware should ideally be chosen to coordinate with your decor choices, but if all else fails keep it white, bright and simple. Lighting is also key to your dining room decor – aim for dimmable light that you can adjust to create the mood that will allow your guests to relax but still be able to see their food. Low pendant lights directly over the dining table are both practical and striking, or for large formal dining rooms you may want to opt for a traditional chandelier hung from the centre of the room. Additional wall sconces along the walls can be a great way to brighten up the room for late night dinner parties, and don’t forget how a couple of candles along your dining room table can add a delicate, finishing touch.
