How To Create a Divine Dining Space

IIHS Blog·Naomi Findlay·May 9, 2025· 2 minutes
Creating the perfect dining space is something we can all achieve and guess what?! It doesn’t need to be done with a big budget! Many families or households don’t take the time to regularly use the dining table as a chance to get together and enjoy a good meal and great company. Dining spaces can be designed to accommodate each household's lifestyle and taste. From a small family breakfast table to a large formal dinner, there are no set rules as to what you can and cannot include in your dining space. As long as your end result is a space that feels inviting and comfortable. Some examples of items you could include in different dining areas could be: Something traditional or conservative…
  • a timeless timber table and chairs
  • timber buffet styled with simple candles and/or vases
  • Contemporary artwork or mirror
Something modern or eclectic…
  • a white timber table
  • colourful chairs
  • quirky console table styled with plenty of fun personal touches
  • modern artwork or unique wall feature
With the styling industry ever evolving and many of us wanting to keep up with these changes, we can be pleased to know that sourcing that ‘must have’ item is achievable. The current market caters for all budgets with less expensive items to very costly, it really depends on what you’re after and what you’re wanting to spend. Either way knowing you can create a space that has been designed and styled specifically for you should mean plenty of enjoyable times will be spent around the dining table, in style!
