30 Black & White Dining Rooms That Work Their Monochrome Magic

30 Black & White Dining Rooms That Work Their Monochrome Magic

An integral space for any family dinner, the dining room is a vital – but often overlooked – part of the home. Filling the space between lounge and kitchen, it often acts as the design intermediary, not lead. Using monochrome interior cues can give your dining room prominence. Drop a statement chandelier over the middle of your dining table, marking the spot for eating and laughter. Shape the space with unusually curved chairs, around a table in a contemporary finish. Paint the walls in film noir shades to create ambience in your home’s centre for entertaining. Take a look at our top thirty dining rooms that dazzle in black and white.

1 | Visualizer: Artem Bobrov
A circle marks the spot where the family comes together. This light and white room makes a statement chandelier, geometric ultra modern dining chairs and pops of living green features.

2 | Visualizer: Dekaa
Make your design cues subtle, by using textured materials in your dining room. This clean design creates diagonal grooves in its wooden floor, cubbies in its silicone chairs and tinted glass in a collective display of hanging pendants.

3 | Architect: Luigi Rosselli Architects
Any lighting guru knows that Panton VP6 lights are the business. These unique dining room pendants can easily underscore a colour theme, and this black polished wooden floor, white chiffon curtain and peony bunch combo is no exception.

4 | Visualizer: Viz Art
A monochrome finish doesn’t have to be strictly black and white. This room boasts Scandinavian style chairs in charcoal and a host of sepia prints to match wine bottles and a pendant to the kitchen.

A Semi Pendant light adds drama and art to mealtime. Make an entrance for your dining room with classic white-brushed floors, clean furniture and a low-hanging light in an unusual shape.

6 | Visualizer: Koj Design
Differing materials can combine to create a room, not clash with it. This small assembly of suede chairs and a spider web chandelier match the colours of the kitchen while creating visual focus. A pot of green adds flair.

7 | Photographer: Hey Cheese
Dining areas don’t always have to be flashy. This wooden table with charcoal beams acts as a reading, breakfast, study and dining room table, as thin charcoal shelving lines the walls.

8 | Visualizer: Dekaa
Keep it classic in simple monochromes. A bunch of three camera lights beam up two black and white panels in this block-coloured modern kitchen design.

9 | Visualizer: Kuoo Architects
Infuse your dining area with a taste of the East, with a pair of gigantic Chinese lanterns. Surrounded by slick black walls and ceilings, a multi-grooved floor and wicker cane chairs add character and texture.

10 | Designer: Nicole Hollis
Want to blend the Victorian with a contemporary dining space? Use basic white walls, two dramatic velvet chairs and matching cylindrical pendants reflected through a mirror.

11 | Architect: Hillam Architects Photographer: Dion Photography
Make your monochrome space multi-levelled and multi-dimensional. Add curves with a ceiling plaster mould, corner marbled benchtop and slick fireplace embedded in swathes of dusty stone.

12 | Visualizer: Oliver Wende
Go Scandinavian for your black and white dining, with this kitchen-combined feature. Climb the wooden ladder to a wall of white cabinetry hiding all the basics, while black painted cubby chairs hold your frame for breakfast.

13 | Visualizer: Evermotion
Scandinavian dining rooms can make a monochrome design look light, bright and open. A few French windows, white painted floor and pops of black cabinetry make this shared kitchen and dining space a chef’s dream.

14 | Source: Deko
Make the most of an elongated dining space, by designing in black and white. A concrete floor binds distressed black rafters, white pod chairs and two dramatic cylindrical chandeliers into a space perfect for entertaining.

15 | Designer: Potter Kajsa Cramer Photographer: Frida Ramstedt Source: Femina
Little pops of wood make black and white warmer. The chair legs and pale wooden floor of this classic dining look steal the show amidst pots of clambering green.

16 | Visualizer: Petru Pinzaru
Tall arched windows can only make the best grey and white kitchens better. Pair them with concrete walls, white-washed floors, Scandinavian school chairs and a large white pendant for a relaxed feel.

17 | Visualizer: Javier Wainstein
Draw in your guests with a black and white abstract acting the feature. This striking black wall is the perfect background for white and wood furniture and a leaning antique mirror.

18 | Visualizer: AR Studio
Only have the space between your kitchen and lounge? Drop a host of white beat lights alongside black suede chairs to make your vase of lilies shine.

19 | Visualizer: HDR Designer
Another beat light sensation, this mostly-white dining area appears monochrome with only the slightest hint of black. A golden interior meets concrete floors, mini sculpted hedges and white and wooden chairs for a relaxed space beside the kitchen.

20 | Visualizer: 081 Arch
Dining at the bachelor pad never looked better. An array of black pendants dangle over a black and white table, as a minimalist lounge and kitchen area make themselves scarce.

21 | Designer: n lab
Have the best of the black and white kitchens with a dining room to match. This unconventionally-shaped design uses stripes of both black and white across an origami chandelier, horizontal pendant light and stunning kitchen bench to help expand aesthetics.

22 | Visualizer: VAE Design Group
Like clean, zen-like lines? This dining room’s lines separate its unusual bookcase partitions, chair bottoms and diagonally-placed table legs to subvert a classic look.

23 | Visualizer: Inuti
Already a fan of white kitchens? Place pops of black in black cubby chairs, ceiling-inserted lights and a large monochrome abstract to make your dining space black and white.

24 | Visualizer: Minimal Architects
For those that need a larger breakfast and dining, this colour-coded space has the solve for you. Drenching kitchen bar stools in white and dining cubby chairs and pendants in black, it helps differentiate dining zones for different times of the day.

25 | Visualizer: ARTSTUDIO Design
Differentiate your dining in shades of grey. This white cubby-chaired table with black stencil detailing sits well beside grey suede couches and LED-lit inlets.

26 | Visualizer: Anthony Kalambet
An exposed brick wall can add character to your black and white dining. Pair it with black metal chairs, glass jars, black framed windows and a concrete floor for a look semi-Scandinavian.

27 | Visualizer: Dmitry Tereshchuk
Food need not be the central feature of your dining area. Hide your basic cooking skills with a pair of woollen lanterns, a smoky abstract canvas and alternating woven steel and linen chairs.

28 | Visualizer: Djamal Mustafaev
A light feature doesn’t have to be large, as this black and white dining area shows. A row of magnetic lights cling together, as pops of white frame an eight-seater dining table.

29 | Photographer: Przemysław Kuciński
Keep it simple with a white origami light over your table. This area functions for breakfast, lunch and dinner while a vase of flowers tries to stretch to its height. A black wooden design feature adds character.

30 | Visualizer: Juraj Talcik
Don’t think black and white will suit your seaside interior? Think again as this white polished floor extends out to the patio, while offerings of black cubby chairs, steel table legs and a host of white beat lights keep it clean and contemporary.

20 Dining Rooms [Visualized]

20 Dining Rooms [Visualized]

A well designed dining room or dining area can set a certain tone in your home when inviting guests for dinner, and even when simply enjoying a meal with the family. A formal eating area almost feels like a luxurious touch in this age of ready meals in front of the TV, so here are 20 dining room schemes to help you strike the right note.
1 | Visualizer: Sleiman Sbeih
Our first eating area stretches out behind a sofa, with plenty of room to comfortably seat eight people; the dining table is oval in shape, so it would even allow for a couple more diners to squeeze in on bigger occasions.

2 | Visualizer: Sleiman Sbeih
Contemporary chairs do all of the talking in this understated, wood-clad scheme. An open-sided room divider provides a place to add a little interest in the form of collectables and books.

3 | Visualizer: Fedor Goreglyad
This home layout ties the dining area to the lounge by carrying the color of the sofa into the unique over-table pendant lights.

4 | Visualizer: Giang Hoang
A dining table in the kitchen could double as prep area too.

5 | Via: Evermotion
In an uncluttered scheme, go for unusual silhouettes to perk up the look.

6 | Via: fldo3d
High stools convert a countertop into an eating area.

7 | Visualizer: 3d-vizual
Go for padded chairs if you like to linger long after dinner.

8 | Visualizer: Gaurav
Extruded feature walls provide a dramatic backdrop.

9 | Visualizer: Pivot Studio
An injection of greenery adds life.

10 | Visualizer: Donald Archiviz
A simple dining bench on one side declutters the look of a dining suite.

11 |
Contrast your suite to any nearby cabinetry for a fresher look.

12 | Visualizer: Olga Furmanova
Don’t be afraid to mix and match chairs.

13 | Visualizer: EkeInterior
Choose large lighting to anchor your dining area in an open plan.

14 | Visualizer: Juan Haro
You could also use wall art as an anchor for your open plan eating area.

15 | Visualizer: EkeInterior
This light ties in the black notes of an adjacent piano.

16 | Visualizer: EkeInterior
Wood tones don’t have to match either.

17 | Visualizer: EkeInterior
A touch of the traditional is always at home in a dining room.

18 | Visualizer: Vic Nguyen
Add a few rustic accessories to traditional and you get a lovely country vibe.

19 | Visualizer: Lucas Studio
When housing an extra long table, distribute lighting evenly.

20 | Visualizer: Tam Duong
A dining bench is great to leave a view unobstructed.

Fresh White Based Dining Spaces

Fresh White Based Dining Spaces

This collection of beautiful interior renders all tackle a white-based dining scheme to different effect. White can be both edgy or serene, sharply modern or softly traditional, and of course it goes with absolutely anything, which allows home accessories to explode with a multitude of color combinations, or to be paired back for a striking monochrome result.

A stark color scheme works brilliantly with a black floor, the dark base will anchor your design scheme and give the look more punch, a wooden floor also works well in bringing life and texture to an otherwise flat space.

Another way to bring texture to your blank palette is with an exposed brick wall, so before you have a room fully plastered, consider leaving one or two feature walls au natural, the brick tone alone will look great, but you can also white wash or gloss the rough surface for added interest within your paint plan.

Via Tearte

5 |
Via Perseverance Design
If bare walls aren’t your thing there are numerous lines of predominantly white wallpapers on the market, try wide stripes of white with another tint, like a pale grey mist, or the tiniest touch of peppermint, the added shades will make the white elements appear bright and clean.

30 Extendable Dining Tables

30 Extendable Dining Tables

In many homes, where floor space is limited, it is often the dining table that is the first large item of furniture to be subtracted from the scheme. Even in homes that have multiple reception rooms, the dining room is often taken over by an additional snug lounge room that can be utilized more regularly for casual dinners in front of the TV, rather than for an occasional formal gathering at a dining suite. However, a dining set still holds a huge appeal to many who value family mealtimes, and to those who just love to entertain; so what can be done to facilitate a full sized eating area when the desire is bigger than the place it's meant for? We've put together a collection of fabulously designed pull-out, pull down, extending, foldable, concealed, disguised and dual-use dining solutions to suit just about any space.

Gate legged dining tables have been around for a long time now, and they still provide a good answer for small homes that lack an area in which to set up a long table permanently. Some gate leg tables now incorporate storage opportunities, such as a set of handy drawers in which you can store cutlery and napkins.

2 | Designer: Sigrid Strömgren & Sanna Lindström
Some foldable dining tables can be used as a small corner table when not being used in its full form.

3 | Designer: Gudrun Theodora
This table offers a split use where one end can be used as a desk, hidden from sight when dining by a built-in cork screen.

4 | Designer: Julien Vidame
The traditional way to extend a formal dining table is to insert extra ‘leaves’, or segments, that are inserted once the two opposite ends of the dining table have been slid apart to reveal the framework. This design still works well for some but does raise the question of where to store additional leaves. There are however new designs being forged that allow a table to be opened up using a tiny concertina effect (the ingenious concept above) that negates the need for any separate pieces, as well as many that now have the leaves folded and concealed within the table itself.

Extended use can come from incorporating a concealed games table.

The most cunning of space saving dining tables have got to be those that appear as if from nowhere, with drop-down mechanisms that are fitted directly into walls, allowing a flush finish, or those that parade as an entirely different piece of furniture, such as a console table or coffee table.
