Hand-painted flooring
Hand-painted and stenciled flooring offers a casual vibe for a dining room. Honeycomb patterns from the 1930s are popular, as are French-inspired designs.
Dining room doubling as a library
Let the dining room do double duty as the space where you eat and become inspired. Reserve one wall for a large library to display prized books and show off design-focused magazines.
Vintage lighting
Hit the flea market to find old chandeliers and vintage lighting pieces from the 1920s or earlier. Add silk curtains to a room for an elegant but easy effect.
These are just some of the ways to approach interior design for your dining room. The key to creating a cozy and inviting space lies in thinking about what decorating style will make you feel most at home.
