Beautiful palm leaves add a touch of nature to this transitional dining room in San Diego. Live Interiors leaned on a white-and-black palette for high-contrast drama, and used midtone wood chairs and a textured wood sideboard to provide visual warmth. A Sputnik-inspired chandelier adds a retro detail above the chunky black tabletop, while a geometric gray-and-white rug adds texture below.

EKAA Studio added a multiuse wallpapered nook in this contemporary dining room in India, which has overhead cabinets, a wood bench and glass shelving for dinnerware and decor.  White-and-gray marble flooring anchors light wood chairs with fabric cushions around a wood-and-white table. A jewelry-like chandelier with five gold rings descends from a recess in the ceiling.

8. Traditional Meets Rustic
A crisscross white tray ceiling and wall moldings at different heights add layers of texture to this Charlotte, North Carolina, dining room by Pike Properties. The juxtaposition of hard and soft carries through to the rustic gray wood table and traditional chairs in a pale neutral color. A large patterned rug with an abstract design in shades of blue pools below the furnishings. A six-light chandelier with white shades and gold accents adds an elegant touch.

7. Easy Breezy
Situated between an outdoor pool area and a kitchen is this breezy Florida dining room full of wood, metal and glass details. Emcy Interior Design added two Windsor-style chairs to the ends of a wood picnic table with benches to create a setup with character and charm. Minimalist lights with exposed bulbs that point in different directions hang from a whitewashed paneled ceiling. And close by, glass-and-wood built-ins store wineglasses, serving bowls, charcuterie boards and books.

6. Bubble Up
Haus Love Interiors hung a frosted bubble chandelier in the middle of this contemporary Indiana dining room to make an impactful design statement. Black window frames provide contrast to the muted notes of the light-colored walls, beige curtains and light wood table and accents. A winding wall mirror adds to the room’s sophisticated aesthetic.

5. Down by the Bay
This space’s large bay window with built-in seating is perfect for enjoying nature views or as extra seating for entertaining. J.P. Hoffman Design Build gave this Westwood, Massachusetts, dining room a solid wood table in the center of the room, tons of pillows and six high-back upholstered chairs to make it feel comfortable. A large chandelier in a light metal finish sits low above the table without obstructing views or encroaching on dinnertime conversations.

4. Green Scene
Green is predicted to be a popular color in 2022. And this earthy Coral Gables, Florida, dining room by True Designs is a good example of why. A green accent wall and windows capturing leafy surroundings create a welcoming atmosphere. A wood floor, sideboard table and chairs adds to the forest-like feel, satisfying the homeowners’ love of nature. Meanwhile, gold in the chandelier, art frames and curtain rod complements the wood tones and brings in a contemporary touch.

3. Bold Appétit
Dark wood flooring, black walls and a black-and-white stencil-like ceiling create a dramatic look in this Atlanta dining room by Pineapple House Interior Design. Black wingback chairs amp up the mood. Crisp white wall paneling and molding help break up the dark walls and add contrast. French country-style wood chairs, green accents and a beaded chandelier give this space eclectic elegance.

2. Natural Fibers
Pure Salt Interiors emphasized natural textures in this Orange County, California, dining area, using plenty of plant fibers and wood. A large round table with five Wishbone-style chairs and an oversize rope pendant light are front and center. A muted backdrop of white walls and curtains, dark stone countertops and pulls, glass cabinets and a sliding glass door bring balance and light to this laid-back dining space.

1. Wood Slab
Rich colors, materials and details come together in this Fort Lauderdale, Florida, dining room by DKOR Interiors. A serving area features a white marble countertop, backed by a stunning accent wall with deep blue tile set in a herringbone pattern. The tile also runs behind a recessed display area that holds plants, decor and cocktail items. Ceiling lights illuminate an abstract triptych hung on textured wallpaper, while two midcentury modern chandeliers hang over a natural wood slab table that can seat eight. An area rug with saturated blues, grays and browns ties all the room’s colors together.
