Looking for inspiration for your dining area? We’ve gathered some fabulous ideas focused on casual spaces that work equally as well for a dinner party as for a place to catch up on email with a coffee.
Versatile living spaces are both practical and necessary as we move towards living in smaller homes with open plan kitchen, living and dining rooms being the norm. The dining table is often the hub of the home – a place to eat, to socialise, to work and to do all those odd jobs that need doing!
We’ve compiled an inspirational album of dining rooms that are casual and comfortable for the day to day demands of life yet have what it takes to set the scene for chic dining.

Style tips for a casual dining table:
- Cut the formality by mixing and matching styles. For example, if your table is antique, choose contemporary chairs, or vice versa.
- Soften the edges. Square edged tables look more formal than tables with rounded shapes.
- Try a bench down one side of the table for comfy daytime lounging/cosy evenings.
- Bright colours can look more casual than dark shades.
- A large number of matching chairs lined up down the sides of a table is impressive but will instantly look formal.
- In summary, to reduce formality, think about:
- A combination of chairs and bench with cushions
- Brighter colours,
- Mismatched chairs,
- A rustic table surface/material,
- A rounded edge table
- Mismatched styles (eg antique with contemporary),
- Oversized casual lighting
- Casually arranged table decorations
