Contemporary Dining Room Ideas

posted by Dining Tables & Chairs
Contemporary dining rooms require minimal furniture and accessories and the use of durable materials. This makes the space great for families because the room will be easy to clean and affordable to decorate. You might even be able to create a contemporary dining space with your existing pieces.

Contemporary Colors

  • Neutral colors often appear in contemporary design. A basic color palette allows you to keep up with the ever changing trends. Use inexpensive artwork and accessories so you are always on the edge of design. Paint the walls in a bright white, medium taupe or soft gray. If you want a more daring dining room, consider a bold chocolate brown or black. Use accessories such as bright orange plates or red curtains to bring in appetizing colors. Draw the accent color from artwork or use green accents for a nature-inspired room.

Materials and Focal Points

  • Contemporary design combines natural and manmade materials. Bring nature into the dining room with a durable laminate, bamboo or wood floor that can be easily cleaned. Leave wood trim unpainted to show off its natural beauty. Place a few plants around the dining room for a cozy touch.

    The focus of a dining room space can be the architecture of your home or back yard. Accomplish this by keeping the room neutral so the eye drifts outside. Take off the window coverings to let more light in and lend a casual air to the contemporary dining room. If you want window treatments, try natural bamboo or grass shades. Add a silk panel on either side of the window. The shades will give you privacy and the curtains won’t even need to close.

Furniture

  • Contemporary dining room furniture focuses on straight lines. Look for chairs that include a fabric element such as micro-suede parsons’ chairs. Stainless steel and frosted glass make for a modern dining room table. Any wood tones should be dark, such as espresso, with minimal grain showing. Showcase the beauty of your dining room set by forgoing tablecloths or chair pads.

Accessories

  • Keep accessories to a minimum in a contemporary dining room for a sleek look. Make a decorating statement with the scale of the pieces you do use. Instead of a flower arrangement, place tall curly willows in a pottery vase in the corner of the room. Replace a traditional chandelier with an oversized drum shade.

    Look for floor to ceiling artwork that can serve as the focal point of the space. You can create your own custom artwork by stretching a contemporary fabric over a frame and stapling it. Contemporary patterns are bold and geometric. Use the fabric in one area of the room so it really stands out.

How to design a Contemporary Dining Room

posted by Dining Tables & Chairs
 

 

A contemporary dining room can really make your house feel modern. This style appeals to a lot of home buyers, so it is great if you are selling your house. It makes the room feel “decorated” without being fussy. This also means that you have less things to buy if you are starting from scratch. Here is how to get a contemporary dining room no matter your budget.

  • 1

    Understand what the word contemporary means. Contemporary is often confused with modern style. Modern furniture came from a specific time period. Contemporary literally means “the present time.” Contemporary style is always changing. Whatever is contemporary now, won’t be contemporary in a decade. This means that you will be on the cutting edge of design. It also means that your furniture may seem dated in a few years. Spend the appropriate amount of money. You can choose neutral furniture pieces that will transition into the next style. If you are set on having a really unusual dining room set, cut your budget in half so you can replace it when it becomes outdated.

  • 2

    Create an illusion of space. This can be done by taking out any unnecessary pieces of furniture. Decide how important it is for you to have a china cabinet. If you don’t really use it, this can free up a ton of space. Clean the windows so more light enters the room. Keep clutter to a minimum. Only use what is absolutely necessary. Contemporary style tends to stay away from chair pads & table clothes. The beauty is in the lines of the furniture. Since this can feel a little stark make sure that every item is special in some way, even your flatware.

  • 3

    Repeat shapes. A contemporary dining room gives off a feeling instead of an overall theme. You can create continuity in your room with shapes. If you have a round dining table, try a large drum shade light fixture over it. You can repeat the pattern on the rug, & even etched into your glasses. Stripes, squares & other geometric designs are often found in contemporary design. Just make sure that you use muted or neutral colors so it doesn’t start to look childish.

  • 4

    Decorate with white. White is one of the most used colors in contemporary dining rooms. You might think that you already have a white dining room, but it may be looking a little dingy. This can make the room feel unkempt. The white should be intentional instead of the default. However, a coat of bright white paint will really bring in that contemporary feeling.

  • 5

    Use elements of nature in unexpected ways. This can be as simple as having a bamboo floor in your contemporary dining room. Modern design stays away from many natural elements, but a few touches in contemporary design can soften the feel. You can even look for chargers with a sleek wood grain on them, or bring in a sisal area rug.

  • 6

    Play around with height. Many contemporary dining rooms are found in newer homes. These often have high ceilings. One of the biggest trends in dining right now is a counter height table. These work especially well in breakfast nooks. Just make sure that you are comfortable sitting at this new height for a good length of time.

  • 7

    If you accentuate the height of the room it can make the entire space seem larger. You can even try making a large centerpiece made out of curly twigs or willows. Top notch wedding designers often use these at celebrity weddings. Just make sure that the piece is skinny enough that your guests can still see each other around the centerpiece or through the branches.

Remodel a Contemporary Dining Room

posted by Dining Tables & Chairs

A contemporary dining room can be a sleek and elegant room in which to entertain your guests. Whether you are starting with a new home as a blank slate or updating a traditional dining room, you can create a sophisticated space by painting the walls and establishing a focal point, choosing the right flooring materials and textiles, and purchasing modern dining room furniture and light fixtures. The goal of modern design is to reduce visual clutter and maintain clean lines.

  • 1

    Update the flooring. Replace worn carpeting with polished hardwood, or opt for contemporary carpet squares or natural stone tile. If you decide on a hard flooring surface, protect it from scratches from sliding dining chairs by laying down a modern rug. Choose a solid-color rug, or try a striped or geometric pattern.

  • 2

    Create an accent wall. Paint one wall of your dining room an eye-catching shade such as orange, brick red or lime green. To introduce pattern and texture, hang wallpaper with a contemporary pattern. Further establish the wall as a focal point by hanging a large modern painting or a grouping of black and white photographs.

  • 3

    Purchase modern dining room furniture. Avoid tables and chairs with too many elaborate details; instead, look for pieces that feature clean lines. Glass-topped tables are popular, as are solid wood and stainless steel. All your dining chairs should match to avoid the shabby-chic effect. If you have the space, purchase a modern dining console in which to store your china and other items.

  • 4

    Install a contemporary light fixture above your dining table. Choose from brushed nickel or chrome finishes; if you prefer a softer look, choose a drum-shaped fabric shade. There are also many modern light fixtures made of glass, but avoid the dated crystal chandelier look.

The Aspect Contemporary Round Table

posted by Dining Tables & Chairs

There are a few designs that will fit into both rustic and Hotel Furniture category. The Aspect Contemporary Round Table by Cabot Wrenn is one of those designs.  A flat round top in wood and supported by slender legs, this table bears a delicate look. But these looks are deceptive. The legs are a part of a frame made out of the best quality wood veneer and the table top is a perfectly designed circle that has ambiguous lines dividing it into equal sections and has been exquisitely polished to render it the alluring charm it has. It is the geometrical design that sets this table apart and it can fit into any surroundings and even amongst the Cabin Furniture.

Contemporary Furniture

Contemporary Furniture

From LoveToKnow Interior Design

Contemporary furniture is well known for its simple lines and distinctive color palettes. The phrase “less is more” definitely applies here. This modern furniture style is admired by those seeking an updated look as they transition from traditional design styles.

Up to Date Furniture

Contemporary modern furniture design grew out of industrial advances in materials and manufacturing techniques during the early 1900’s. Around this same time and into the mid-twentieth century, there were also very influential design trends coming from several movements:

  • Arts and Crafts
  • Art Nouveau
  • The Secession
  • De Stijil
  • Bauhaus
  • Le Corbusier
  • Art Deco
  • Scandinavian Style

New materials developed during the twentieth century have fueled the creativity of furniture designers. Contemporary modern furniture is often crafted from steel, plastic, molded plywood, acrylic, or glass components. There are still innovative materials being discovered for use in furnishings by today’s contemporary designers who increasingly look for green design solutions.

Types of Contemporary Furniture

Many contemporary furniture designs are inspired by mid-century modern pieces such as the Eames lounge chair. In general, this clean-lined furniture is free from decorative trim, detailed wood carving, tufting, or other embellishments.

Other celebrated contemporary furniture designs include the following pieces:

  • Tulip or pedestal chair
  • Pension chair
  • Seconda chair
  • Venturi chair
  • Graves chair
  • Argyle chair
  • Zig-Zag chair
  • Barcelona chair and couch
  • Grand Confort chair and couch
  • Wassily lounge
  • Stickley chair

Contemporary furniture can be either formal or casual, depending on the upholstery materials selected as well as the accessories displayed in the room. Popular upholstery choices for contemporary rooms include leather, cotton, canvas, and linen. The colors of modern fabric and leather upholstery tend to be in neutral tones or bolder colors like red, yellow, or blue. However, a lot of contemporary furniture pieces can be found in black or espresso finishes.

Contemporary beds tend to be low to the ground and sometimes feature attached shelves for use as night stands. There is usually no box spring used, so the bed frame is designed as a solid platform or with short support legs. Often times there is either no headboard or a very low profile version made of wood or upholstered with fabric or leather.

Contemporary dining room furniture is often made of metal, wood, acrylic, or glass materials. One innovation worth checking out is the extendable dining table which has the flexibility of changing to different size configurations without the need for removable leaves. Modern dining chairs are very simple in design with straight or slightly curving backs. Common color palettes for contemporary dining sets are wood stains, silver metallic, and black leather.
