Our latest lookbook features eight elegant dining rooms where dark wood furniture such as tables, chairs and shelves take center stage.
The dining room furniture in this lookbook impresses with its dark tones, often reminiscent of vintage interiors.
Whether teak, walnut or mahogany, the natural material’s rich colors and textures add a sense of luxury to a dining space and contrast with the light woods popular in minimalist and Scandinavian-style interiors.
This is the latest in our series of lookbooks inspired by visuals from the Dezeen archives. For more inspiration, check out the previous lookbook, which features stylish hallways, green bathrooms and Zellig tile interiors.
