Say goodbye to the old-fashioned plastic table and its old-fashioned tablecloth. Make way for a designer aluminum table, trendy modular chairs and chic new furniture. Don’t know how to get your dining room on trend? Bandi Design shares its top 7 tips!
1. Choose neutral colors for chic
Trends don’t mean “fashions that go out of fashion”! Who wants to change the color of their walls or furniture every two years? You don’t! That’s why we advise you to opt for neutral colors: cream, taupe, chocolate, ecru, greige…
Do you like bright, flashy colors? Then we recommend using them for textiles (curtains, tablecloths, cushions) and decorative elements (vases, knick-knacks, lamps, etc.) So you can easily change your decor if you get tired of these colors! After that, we’re not the type to tell you what to do! Dreaming of a canary yellow wall? Let’s go! Above all, your interior should look and feel like you!
2. Opt for a designer dining table
The table is the star of your dining room, the star of your living room! So take the time to choose it carefully! The first thing to consider is the material. It must be attractive and durable. Forget plastic or plywood, which will give your room a cheap look. Choose noble materials such as wood, marble or aluminum.
An aluminum table for your home? It’s certainly not the usual thing to do, but we’re not here to be like everyone else, are we? What we want is an interior that’s trendy (like in the decorating magazines), but also timeless (that won’t go out of fashion and that you can keep for years). Aluminum makes this unusual combination of tradition and modernity possible.
See for yourself! The Bandi Design table table will leave no one indifferent. Made of aluminum, it evokes both solidity and lightness. It seems to take up no space in the room, yet it’s all you can see. Its light, airy forms bring elegance and modernity to your dining room. And that’s without mentioning its practicality: 8 people can sit comfortably around it. Ideal for welcoming family or friends for a nice little dinner!
3. Diversify seating for a trendy dining room look
Let’s move on to the choice of chairs! Are you the daring type who wants to make a statement? Our advice: break the rules! In other words, don’t be afraid to break the rules and stop doing what everyone else is doing. Who said you had to have 6 identical seats? Dare to do things differently and mismatch seats!
Okay, but how do you go about diversifying your seating while keeping your interior chic and elegant? Here are two possibilities to inspire you:
- You can choose 6 different seats, but with a common material (aluminum, for example).
- You can place three identical chairs on one side of the table, a bench on the other and armchairs at the end of the table.
Discover our Tooon chairs chair models: modular seating to suit your every whim. You can configure your seats as you wish: with or without armrests, in white or black, with metal, aluminum or wood legs, with or without cushions. The customization possibilities are endless, so treat yourself! And if you want to mix chairs and benches, discover the Bandi.
4. Adopt a (fake) animal skin rug
Rugs are THE element that will make your dining room warm and friendly. The trend is towards animal skins (cow, sheepskin, faux fur, mohair, etc.). Give your room a real identity! You’ll have a decor that’s… just right!
A black and white cowhide under the dining table and a few white sheepskin rugs on the chairs will look great! But don’t hesitate to choose a more original model if you want to make it a highlight of your interior. They come in all shapes (oval, round, rectangular) and colors (brown, white, mauve, pink, zebra, glitter).
5. Choose lighting inspired by nature
Good lighting is essential in the dining room. There are a number of strategic areas that need to be illuminated. First of all, consider the main light: a ceiling light or chandelier are excellent choices, as they diffuse their light gently in all directions. These are ideally placed above the dining table. You can also add a pretty floor lamp in a corner of the room to create a more intimate atmosphere.
In terms of materials and shapes, the trend is for pieces inspired by nature. Choose lighting fixtures reminiscent of leaves, flowers or even pebbles for a soothing, Zen atmosphere. Choose natural materials such as wood, rattan, plant fibers or feathers.
6. Decorate your dining room with plants and flowers
In keeping with the idea of inviting nature into your home, consider arranging a few plants or bouquets of flowers, according to your preferences. A ficus lyrata would be ideal in your dining room. Place it in a pretty wicker basket and arrange it in a corner of the room. Its beautiful foliage dresses the space with elegance. You can also place hanging plants on a shelf or in your bookcase. Hoya, Scindapsus and Sedum Morganianum will add an exotic, friendly atmosphere to your furnishings.
You can also place pretty bouquets of fresh or dried flowers on the dining room table or window sills.
7. Hanging an artwork
For a unique decoration that reflects your personality, you can decorate one of your walls with an art painting. This wall decoration will bring a unique touch to your dining room. Contemporary, abstract or classic, it’s up to you to decide what suits your taste. If you have a fairly neutral, minimalist interior, this canvas is an opportunity to bring a little color and originality into your room! If you’ve also chosen a cowhide rug, be careful not to go overboard.
You’ve got it: the secret to trendy dining room decor lies in choosing quality pieces! It’s better to invest in good furniture, a good rug and a work of art that are sure to enhance your room, rather than accumulating trinkets. For a chic, timeless and designer interior, discover the Bandi brand.
