Luxury Dining Room Design

Designing a Dining Room for Modern Entertaining

The formal dining room is evolving.

Today's luxury dining rooms need to accommodate everything from intimate family dinners to larger celebrations.

Begin With the Table

The table establishes the room's proportions.

Allow enough space around it for chairs and circulation before deciding on other furniture.

Create a Lighting Focal Point

A chandelier or sculptural pendant can anchor the dining table visually.

Combine it with discreet architectural lighting so the atmosphere can change throughout the evening.

Introduce Bespoke Storage

Built-in cabinetry can provide storage for glassware, tableware and serving pieces.

A concealed drinks cabinet can make the room even more useful when entertaining.

Add Texture

Upholstered dining chairs, rugs, curtains and wall treatments soften a room that otherwise contains many hard surfaces.

Cochrane Design combines colour, fabrics, fixtures, fittings and bespoke details when developing its interiors, allowing dining rooms to form part of a consistent whole-house scheme.

Make It Personal

A luxury dining room should not feel like a hotel restaurant.

Artwork, objects and materials should reflect the homeowner and give the room character.
