We focus on meal times during annual special festivities and personal anniversaries, but sitting down to break bread together is something that should always carry a sense of ceremony. Enjoying this daily activity with the added shine of a luxury dining room design means that every day can feel like a special occasion - without all the added prep and hoo-ha. Inspiration for luxury dining furniture and decor can come in many shapes and forms, so we have put together a whopping 51 images of our favourite dining room decor schemes to draw inspiration from. Plus, we offer a few tips and tricks that can be adapted to fit many different room sizes and budgets.
The ceiling is just as important as the floor – sometimes more so. If you want to create an intimate feel for your dinner parties, visually lower a ceiling by installing a dark feature, like a stained wood slat design. This tip can work in just about any room dimensions but use caution on low ceilings, you don’t want to leave your diners feeling claustrophobic. 
A live edge dining table isn’t just for rustic cottages. Live edge tables are big news right now and there are sizes to suit all sorts of dining room floor plans. 
Define your dining area on a flat woven rug. You don’t have to create an island of colour with your rug, even one in a similar tone to the existing floor will create a luxury island on which to welcome your guests. 
Accentuate the head and the foot of the table with a different colour chair – or a completely different chair design altogether. 
Use oversized dining room pendant lights in multiples to make a bold, expensive looking statement… Even cheaper lighting options can look high-end when set in twos or threes. 
If you’ve got the budget for one big stand out chandelier then it’s a great way to set a high-end scene. 
Add a stylish sideboard and a sparkling mirror. These ones are set against an undulating feature wall for added effect. 
Use colour in unexpected ways. Not only do these glass globe pendants bring a cluster of rouge to the table, but ombre window drapes dip a toe into the blue spectrum too. Behind the white dining table and the black chairs, a random section of wainscot has been picked out in a blush tone. 
Alternatively, you don’t have to be so subtle with colour. Great swathes of turquoise and red crash up against each other in this wide open space, where masks decorate the bright volumes. 
Use two different dining chair silhouettes to encircle your table. You can pick them out in similar shades for a subtle yet interesting effect.

Change out the flooring beneath the dining zone in an open plan home. 
A large or linear dining table light is another effective way to anchor your table in an free-flowing living space. 
A formal dining room gives you options. You might be happy perched at the breakfast bar for most meals, or sitting out on the patio. However, you will be thankful for that formal eating option when festivities roll around and when hungry guests stop by. 
Create a warming effect with wall to wall wood. This sunny dining room is clad in wood panels and furnished with matching wood grain dining room furniture. A concrete ceiling balances out the scheme with a cooler finish. A glass exterior and dividing wall gives the natural toned room full views of the garden. The dining table and chairs give off a mid-century vibe. 
If possible, consider installing a fireplace. This one has a log burning stove and integrated log store. Copper pendant lights hang above a wooden table that matches the tones of the cut logs. The modern dining chairs you see here are the Flow by Jean-Marie Massaud. 
Bring in natural greenery. This dining pendant includes planters to bring the garden right to the table. 
Dress to impress – the table that is. Use floral arrangements or classic candles to set the scene, even when the table is not in use. This floral centrepiece picks out the rich colour of the formal dining chairs. 
Add a reflective wall to double the sense of space. This can be done with mirrors, smoked or coloured glass, or high gloss panels. 
Introduce a sense of movement with a veined marble feature wall… 
Add elegance to a shadowy corner with an attractive screen. This is also a great way to disguise a bank of electrical sockets or cover up a small study area. 
Meld contemporary with traditional. These chic modern dining chairs with classic tufted upholstery surround a glass dining table. The room decor follows suit with the theme, with contemporary monochrome prints hung against a wall of boiserie. 
Fashion a feature wall, like this rustic exposed brickwork wall that’s cut through with a marble stripe.
