Formal Dining Room Decor

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 08:20 AM PST

Although many of us seem to end up eating our meals in front of the television these days, it is still tradition to have a formal dining room in our homes. So how do we make the traditional ideal meet contemporary tastes? This set of fabulous dining areas should provide some food for thought.

In this space dual height windows create a sun spot for dining that has been furnished with funky geometric chairs, which allow the natural light to flow through them, and the angular shapes are echoed in the design of the table top. Bright yellow accent pieces draw on inspiration from the sunny surroundings.

Momentary pops of color clashing give a room bags of warmth and interest, and mismatched chair finishes are a great way to introduce extra colors into a dining space, along with cool wall art, brightly painted feature walls and patterned area rugs.

Homes with a Colorful City Vibe

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 09:01 AM PST

These two homes, both visualized by Denis Svirid, are edgy little numbers that have been scattered with eye-catching elements and vibrant key pieces. They layouts of each place are both fun and functional, and adaptable to many different types of home. Take a look and get inspired to add a little urban flavor to your own space.

The first of this duo of designs is a home in Kiev, which has a feminine feel without resorting to the all too overused pink and sparkly, or fuzzy red love hearts, though this visual does have a funky lipstick-red current running through it that has been clashed with purple-pink and a zesty splash of orange. The apartment was designed for a young girl “living in the rhythm of the 'Big City”.
