The dining room is one of the most special rooms in a home because it is where friends and family gather over a delicious meal, especially on the holidays. You have a fantastic opportunity to do something with character in this space, no matter what your design style and aesthetic may be. Thinking outside the box is the way great design is born, so I have compiled 10 creative looks for dining room tables and chairs that are easy to emulate and can be the kick start to a dining room that is beautiful, unexpected and completely you.

These benches look great side by side in this sophisticated space. Being backless, they leave a lot of visual space that makes the room appear more open. Photo: Fave Pretty Things

Hope these creative dining room ideas have inspired you to think outside the box when decorating your home. There is so many great design choices out there outside the typical table and chair combos. Find the perfect look that screams “you.”
