Style the Perfect Dining Room with SHF

Create an inspired dining room with a contemporary chic look. Here’s how to achieve an effortless style with unique furniture choices from SHF.

Choosing the perfect dining room furniture…

If you’re working with a clean slate in your dining room, be sure to choose the right furniture to suit your room. Many modern homes now boast beautiful open plan dining spaces and this means thinking out of the box about your choice of furniture. Top considerations would therefore include:

• Furniture placement. This can be tricky in an open plan space where walls do not necessarily create natural boundaries for furniture placement.
• Flow. Open living room layouts usually flow from one room into the next. There is a natural transition that needs to echo throughout your furniture too.
• Style, shape and size of your furniture. How big is your demarcated dining area? Will you require a rectangular, circular or oval table? What size will work best and offer you the functionality your family needs?

A statement of style

Your furniture should complement the look and feel of the rest of your home. You want your space to feel cohesive and not disjointed. As such, if you want to create a contemporary chic look, modern materials like wood and metal can set the right tone.

Furthermore, detailed pieces can add ambience and become statement pieces in the home too. As an example, the Venice Dining Table (5) from SHF is crafted from a beautiful natural toned engineered oak. The turned legs bring a sense of old-world charm and the piece, in itself, can easily become a focal point in the dining room.

If you’re after something with character and soul, the inspired Beehive Dining Table (6) is another beauty, originating from India. A gold and espresso tabletop gives the Beehive an air of sophistication.

Apart from a statement table, you also need to consider the rest of the room and how it will best serve your needs. A modern console table offers storage and style. Take, for instance, the Oriental Console (2) which boasts a beautifully intricate wooden geometric front. An eye-catcher in any room, this console offers ample surface space to showcase your favourite homeware.

In the end, your dining space should be an extension of your personality and style. Choose quality pieces to create an inspired setting and shop the look at SHF.
