DINING IN ...
THE JOYS OF DINING AT HOME Your dining area should not only accommodate the household at mealtimes but also reflect your design style. A major trend in this area of the home – similar to many contemporary restaurants that have opened in recent years – has been to make the design style less formal. This encourages a relaxed atmosphere that is warmer, more welcoming and less conservative than our previous generations were perhaps accustomed to. These days the dining table not only serves as somewhere to eat, but also as a place where we can work and chat. Most commonly in contemporary homes, the dining area is not placed in a room isolated from the rest of the house, but instead is part of the main living area and/or in the kitchen – where bar areas are built-in to the kitchen design for casual dining and socialising. The dining area has gone through quite a transformative era, and it has been elevated to new heights in terms of importance, which means investment in this part of your home is worth the time and effort and can offer a long-term reward and a whole lot of new memories.
