Keep the room warm and welcoming by mixing in warm wood tones and gorgeous, orange upholstery.

A very dramatic look!

This is a very nice look that could be adapted to suit traditional or modern decorating dining room ideas.

Look at the feature light, echoing the position and shape of the table, as well as picking up the main color scheme.

Very successful and smart!

Very light and airy!

But see how they've actually mixed in whites, creams and patterns and textures to stop it becoming stark and bare.

Very nicely done - and lovely feature chandelier - this feature is picked up in the shape of the candelabra on the left of the picture.

Look at the row of apples, created as table decor - if you're short of a more traditional table center-piece, try a line of 4 or 5 apples, oranges or candles. Very contemporary!

Glass and chrome will always give a contemporary feel to your decor - and are very suited for small rooms, or open plan areas that you would like to feel more spacious, as they reflect light, and don't have the 'bulk' of more traditional furniture.

A good open plan arrangement, with the dining space defined with low-hung lighting over the table. The sofa backs onto the dining space, so separating them, but still keeping them unified.

Sleek and clean-looking!

As the walls are so bright, the blinds, flooring and furniture are kept quite neutral and simple - neat clean lines give a very modern feel to suit the contemporary color scheme.

Simple, low-backed chairs are good for a small space. A lovely look, with real 'wow factor'!

The glass table reflects the light and sky wonderfully. Maritime heritage can be seen in the ship-style lighting and chairs. Totally idyllic!

A sophisticated, no-nonsense style!

It makes the most of the unusual room shape, and large windows. The low hanging chandelier pulls attention and focus to the dining table.

Do consider going for bold and dramatic colors for your dining room.

Red works very well here, and is picked out in all the accessories too.

Perfect color co-ordination of black, with the pale wicker chairs, also against that zingy lime green. Finally the green looks fantastic against the purples and lilacs.

All against a very simple and neutral background, for maximum impact.

Beautifully done!
