Formal Dining Rooms

Fratantoni Interior Designers • August 11, 2018

Old-World Elegance

Architecture and accents give this dining room an elegant, old-world look. The wood chandelier, ceiling beams, and stone wall with inset arched mirrors contribute to the room’s aged appeal. Old-world style furniture continues the theme, and two different types of upholstery material give the chairs unique flair. The backs are covered in a caramel-on-black Jacobean floral print, and the seats are clad in matching brown leather, proving that elegance is in the details.

Royal Touch

Gilded accents give this gray-and-white formal dining room a regal touch. White walls and wood flooring set the stage for metallic gray and gold details. French doors are framed with floor-to-ceiling slate gray draperies hung from gold curtain rods. A light gray patterned tablecloth and gold accents on the mirror and place settings add to the room’s elegance. The crystal-and-gold chandelier puts a finishing touch on the regal tone.

Natural Class

This nature-inspired dining room combines warm, neutral tones with earthy prints and finishes to create a classic, country French look. Mustard yellow walls bring warmth to the formal setting, while the foliage print on the chairs nods to nature. The carved details on the table and elaborate candle chandelier assure the intricate ethos of country French style is at the forefront of the room’s design.

Inspired Style

Mixing modern style with antique accents creates a dynamic, high-end look in this dining room. A chic combination of black and white with metallic accents keeps the color scheme simple yet sophisticated. Overhead, a frosted-glass drum shade surrounds a detailed chandelier, fusing elements from both elegant and modern design sensibilities. Gilded, carved mirrors and sculptural urns round out the room’s elaborate detailing, while a neutral textured rug finishes the room with a modern geometric design.

Standout Comfort

Located between the kitchen and living room, this dining space is designed to stand out from the rest of the house. With white walls as a backdrop and chestnut-color wood floors in the surrounding rooms, the neutral area rug and dark-tone furniture ensemble set the dining room apart. Velvet-upholstered chairs surround a sleek, dark table and add a sense of comfort to the space, while a crystal chandelier formalizes the space.

Handsome and Simple

Stately doesn’t have to be fussy. In this dining room, classic wood furniture, a neutral color palette of golden beige and taupe gray, and a selective use of accessories offer a more masculine look. Flaired seat covers and a curvy serpentine light fixture soften the look to ensure the design doesn’t stray into severe.

Misty Blue

Pale blue walls and accents add variety to this elegant dining room. Gold, bronze, and ivory tones balance the cool blues with gilded warmth. Wooden chairs upholstered in champagne-color brocade surround a stone table with a grand garden statuary as its base. Ivory draperies are lined with blue and gold at the bottom, reflecting the powder blue color of the walls and the bronze and gold wall decor.

Grand Arch

The formal tone of this dining room is accentuated by the barrel-vault ceiling and the crisp, basic color palette of creamy white and gray. The arched leaded-glass window above the hutch mirrors the rounded ceiling, and a curvy and elaborate chandelier also guides the eye upward to the arch
