I, like many other designers, have embraced the very vogue trend of mixing chairs. Not only do I suggest using a different host and hostess chair, but I also like to suggest variations for the side chairs which would include alternating colors with one chair design or repeating the same color with alternating chair styles. What a fun way to catch the attention of guests.

Strive for low maintenance. Pair round tables with funky bases.

3. Natural Elements and texture
With less being more, dining room spaces are adorned with natural textures that add a layer of dimension while perpetuating a clean environment. Table tops and bases along with sideboards are wrapped in grasscloth and linen to warm up the space. Mixing and matching various materials including shiny and matte metals play a key role in creating an outstanding dining room look.
As an Interior Designer for Safavieh, I have become an avid trend seeker; surfing the internet, working closely with the most cutting- edge manufacturers, and picking the brains of other designers. I have made it my perpetual crusade to stay abreast of hottest design trends year after year. This week, I want to share the latest and greatest dining rooms trends with you.
1. SpacesInformal With an abundance of energy focused on dining rooms, the shift from a formal look slowly graduated to informal, now becoming the norm for many of my clients. Intimate gatherings went by the wayside—the main goal is to accommodate as many family members and friends as possible. That said, relaxing, casual and a no-fuss, space.aresustainableforgivingnance,striverevered.environmentno-mussiswidelyMostclientsforlowmainte-whichmeansfabricsandelementsimperativeforthe
2. Round and Oval Tables with basesfunky For those with limited space, round and oval tables have stepped up to the plate this year, softening the space with “curve appeal”. These curvy tables have ultimate appeal while breaking up the consistency of other modern room.furnishingsawaythatwithclutterspaceofpedestalametaltabletopelements.straight-edgeWhethertheisglass,wood,orstone,havingfunandfashionableaddsasense“whimsy”tothewithouthavingtothebackgroundancillaryobjectsdrawattentionfromthemaininthe
4. Mix and match chairs Gone with the wind, the notion of “matchy match” chairs are now in the rear-view mirror.
The pandemic thrust us into a new reali ty, and the backyard has a starring role. Yards and other managed landscapes became a safe Backyardinghaven.became a way of life as lawns, gardens, patios and decks evolved into outdoor offices, classrooms, family gather ing places, and the new “hot spots” in our neighborhoods.Accordingtoa new poll commissioned by the TurfMutt Foundation and conducted online by The Harris Poll, the outdoor office trend is here to stay with many Americans using their yards as makeshift offices for their jobs. Stats show that nearly two in five Americans who have a yard (58 percent) say they have spent time doing work for their job in their yard during the pandemic. So how is the backyard set up to meet all of these needs?
Consider what needs to happen in the backyard and map activity areas. A shady table can double as a home office, study zone, art table, or dining spot. A hammock or outdoor sofa can suffice for napping, reading or studying. A patch of sturdy grass is perfect for sports, family games and play. A fire pit offers cozy chairs for star gazing and socializ ing, while a grill near a seating area promises delicious meals. A wall, fence, or pergola may hold an outdoor movie screen for nighttime viewing. An herb or vegetable garden helps kids learn about science and nutrition while reaping the satisfaction of growing food for the table. Factor functionality with purpose Is there a quiet spot for conference calls? Or a shady spot that minimizes glare for online video meetings? Note where electrical outlets are and if an outdoor-rated extension cord will be needed to accommodate all of the electronics that may be used outside. Check WiFi coverage and cell service in the yard and determine if there is enough comfortable seating. Spruce up landscapingexisting

Assess the backyard and do some basic “clean up.” Fix bare patches in the grass. Use a leaf blower to clean out flower beds. Prune bushes and trees. Cut the grass to a healthy height. Add a fresh layer of mulch around your trees and in flower beds. Freshen up by weeding, planting flower beds, and filling pots with colorful flowers and verdant plants. Use plants and shrubs to hide unsightly items and control noise

How To Create The Perfect Outdoor Living (And Work) Room
—TuffMutt Foundation The outdoor office trend is here to stay.
Trees, shrubs and bushes offer cover from neighbors, deliver shade, camouflage unsightly pool equipment and air handlers, and tamp down noise. Planters with flowers between seating and eating areas on a patio add visual interest and privacy. Shrubs and tall plants are a terrific privacy-creator (and noise canceller for those conference calls). Put the right plant in the right place Choosing the right plants for the climate zone and for your lifestyle will create a back yarding space that is attractive. It will also be easier to maintain, and support pollinators and wildlife. Consider watering and sunlight or shade needs for any plants added. A hardy grass variety is more likely to hold up to pets and kids. Save delicate flowering plants for patio containers, and be sure to research toxic plants to keep pets safe. Invite the outdoors in Blending interior and outdoor living spac es helps the backyard feel like an extension of the home. Open blinds and curtains to the yard. Use complementary indoor and outdoor décor in similar colors, materials and styles to create a cohesive space. This enables everyone to transition seamlessly from indoor life to outdoor living.
