INSPIRE YOURSELF A starting point coming from our intellect, emotions or prompt action... these are all paths we internally build to create what we call Inspiration. It is a process, a way of living to achieve what we aim for. If there was a path to bring innovation and ideas, what would it be? Anything can inspire us, but with the amount of information we are exposed to nowadays, our mind can simply get overwhelmed. A book by itself can be a unique product, open to multiple interpretations and an inspiration tool to different people in many different ways. But a book can also be a technical tool, simply organised, to help you bring your ideas into life. Covet House has the purpose of inspiring the design community with its new collection of inspirational books. This collection is one of the most powerful tools to boost creativity amongst the interior design community. This collection is composed of a series of different books for each room division. Every book has a deeper exploitation of ideas and a wide range of styles. This book contains hundreds of ideas for Kitchens and Dining Rooms selected by a team of interior designers who searched for projects all over the world. It is a blend of projects from renowned interior designers and a combination of materials from the most luxurious and exquisite brands.
Introducing
DININGROOMS KITCHENS WORLDWIDE SELLECTION Food nurtures the mind, body and soul. The Kitchen is by many considered to be the heart of the home, a place of bonding experiences. The dining room serves the continuation of this experience. Although different cultures have different ways of interacting with these spaces, generally the kitchen and the dining room should be designed to be welcoming and conducive for people to come together. These are rooms in which you can make a real statement, whether about your cooking skills or your personal tastes.

The interior design of a dining room or a kitchen has to be capable of combining practicality with aesthetics. However, we can emphasize the practicality part in the kitchen and the aesthetics in the dining room. Take into consideration your decor, your lifestyle and how frequently you will use the space when you’re planning a layout. The harmonious synthesis between innovation and tradition meets here in an exclusive and sophisticated gathering of the classic and modern design in dark tones.

We used very much wood in the interior to decorate the walls, the floors and partially the ceiling. This material creates a remarkable atmosphere and smells fantastic. ARCH.PREDMET INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO
Inspired by the modern classic color palette, this project is filled with browns, beiges, blacks, whites and greys. It is a minimalist ambience, with techniques that add complexity and diversity to space featuring the minimum amount of materials being used, iconic furniture items and quiet colors. A project Inspired by the Interior of the space, the concept was underpinned by the architecture of the room itself. This room is part of combination of iconic styles without being predictable and always remaining very raw and minimalistic.

Dining room by Brabbu: Aurum suspension lamp, Koi II dining table, Zulu dining chairs and Warao rug by Brabbu
Notice how the bright colour and clear table allow visual airiness. Traditional dining rooms can be generously proportioned whereas smaller-scale furnishings in modern designs will suit contemporary tastes well. Open plans are still trending, and many, whether urban or suburban, integrate dining spaces into contiguous living and kitchen areas. Be generous with circulation clearances in open plan interiors while balancing formality using artwork and its position within a kitchen area. In this example, notice how the bright colour and the clear table allow visual airiness while the rug brings colour, texture, warmth and style to the dining room.

Use marble to give a classic touch to your dining room dĂŠcor while still staying modern. A decorative lighting piece really sets the tone of the entire dining room, as you can understand, and so it has a greater aesthetic importance than in the kitchen, where in contrast, you will need more practical and brighter lighting. You can also use marble to give a classic touch to your dining room dĂŠcor while still staying modern. It is great for table tops with its qualities and texture.

Don’t forget to work the walls
BOCA DO LOBO | Heritage dining table
Whether it’s once a year or every night, we want our family and friends to be happy in the dining room with more than just our excellent food and company. Fully upholstered dining chairs look incredibly comfortable. Gently moulded seats and rounded backs for lumbar support ensure guests will enjoy their stay. Don’t forget to work the walls around the dining table as well. Cabinets, consoles, mirrors, artworks, benches, shelves… all can be very useful additions to a space while, at the same time, make it feel more welcoming and proportionate.

Wood, with its warmth and texture, is an ideal material for any dining room, in which you want to feel welcomed. In this case, we can also see how the material with its different shades play an important role in layering this space and giving it contrasts. Chairs can usually be mixed in with bolder and more vibrant colours. The choice of fabric here is a very crucial aspect that can make or break the visual experience.

This design works so well because it seamlessly blends a modern, contemporary finish with the traditional custom details to create an exquisite style bridging past and present. The kitchen and dining room spaces make this house workable as a family residence.

The classic modern silhouette was reimagined with great patterns and bold colours! Bold use of bright primary colours, with geometries, stripes, grids and diagonals on fabrics and rugs, filled with clean, structured lines, bring the classic modern to life.
