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you are set on having a really unusual dining room set, cut your budget in half so you can replace it when it becomes outdated.

    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.

New Modern Dining Room Home Design Photos in Atlanta

Many of us remember the dining room from our childhood as the separate, formal room that housed the most expensive pieces of furniture and was only used on a handful of special occasions and holidays. Running around the dining room chairs, and hiding under the dining room table. These formal rooms are still found in today’s homes but you can also find multi-purpose rooms, informal dining rooms and even outdoor dining rooms.

Moulded Plastic Chairs Rin

Moulded Plastic Chairs Rin

Moulded Plastic Chairs Rin There’s just no need for the functional to be boring – and the Rin Chair by Hiromichi Konno proves it. A smart moulded plastic chair from Fritz Hansen, the Rin chair would be at home in a range of situations around the house. It’s perfect for a home office or dining room… and would be a natural choice for a breakfast bar. The integrated cushion also makes it a comfortable choice. Rin chair makes a strong statement with a deliberate contrast between the predictable and the unpredictable. How? Well, the four-legged star shaped base is reassuringly stable and familiar. But the moulded seat shell features cut-outs that are less expected… each side has two absences, two voids. Rin chair is a paradox. Available in a range of solid, bright colours such as green or red, the Rin chair also looks sublime in black or white. Designed by Hiromichi Konno, from Fritz Hansen.

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.
