Discover the 2022 dining room trends
The dining area has never been as popular in homes as it has been since the arrival of COVID-19. With families staying home, the dining room has become a place of family conversations and elaborate, homemade, gastro delights. It is a space that deserves a lot more attention when designing or redesigning. So how should you go about creating or renovating the heart of your home? Duvall & Co shares some dining room trends in the new year that will take your breath away.
But before you pick your favorite design trend, ask yourself a few pertinent questions. What is the main function of your dining room? Are you a social butterfly who hosts fancy dinners? Or do you prefer small, quiet dinners with your close-knit friends? Is storage of cutlery a requirement? Perhaps you need both a dining table and a kitchen table? Depending on these questions, you can begin constructing your dining room plans.
Trend #1: Classic white
From cold white, pearl white and shell white to cream and ivory, white is a classic look that never goes out of trend. A white color palette will have a calming effect, require little attention, and allow the materials and shape of the furniture to stand out in their glory. Imagine a vintage dining table, for instance, against the white background. Spell-binding!
As a neutral color, white will allow you to take more creative liberties with your furniture, furnishings as well as accessories. You can consider all white on white or introduce a contrasting color partner. Think elegance and sophistication.
Trend #2: Soft, rounded edges
One of the burgeoning trends of 2022 is rounded edges that soften a room in contrast. A round table in the center of a room can do precisely that. Check out Duvall & Co’s High Point Pedestal dining table if you are looking for a round table for your dining or kitchen space.
Trend #3: Statement lighting
Oversized pendant lights made of environment-friendly materials such as rattan, raffia, cork, or seagrass will be a popular trend. It will cast soft lighting over the dining area creating the perfect ambiance. You can also consider blue smoked glass lampshades or pendant lights in gray or white shades. They will elevate your dining space to another level.
Trend #4: Sustainable furniture
The impact of human consumption on nature has been a point of interest and concern for many. By choosing a sustainable dining table and chairs for your dining area you would not only be doing a favor to mother nature but will also add some summer freshness and winter warmth to your dining area.
Wood is one of the most sustainable materials as the manufacture of wooden furniture causes low CO2 emissions. Duvall & Co can create some of the most exclusive and stunning dining tables and chairs as per your taste and preferences.
Trend # 5: Glamorous marble tabletop
One of the classics among natural stones, marble’s elegant grain, and polish brings a touch of exclusivity and glamor to the dining room. Dining chairs with leather covers or subtle leather details complement the marble tabletop perfectly. Duvall’s Garrison dining table comes with an optional quartz tabletop that is more durable and non-porous than marble and offers a stunning aesthetic appeal.
Trend #6: Minimalist style
Minimalism is a combination of functional use of space and stunning design. With this style, less is more. The clean lines of the furniture, the economical use of accent decorations, a neutral color palette, lots of natural light, and a few exclusive decor items are certain principles to follow for a minimalistic dining room.
Trend #7: Fur rug for warmth
The Scandinavian style remains in vogue in 2022 as well with its durable fur and leather rugs that offer softness and warmth to a dining space. Especially against a neutral background, a fur or leather rug would emphasize the dining space. The use of leather or fur, if they are by-products, is also considered environmentally friendly.
Trend #8: Eat in the kitchen
The eat-in-the-kitchen trend is back with a bang. As families spend more time together, cooking and eating together in the kitchen is a ritual that is making a comeback. Even with an existing dining area, a cozy sitting area in the kitchen is becoming an absolute must. So make your kitchen the heart of your home and cherish quality family time in style and comfort with Duvall & Co’s custom-built dining tables.
