Create an inviting spot for meals, homework sessions, and games by turning the corner of a room into a café-style booth. Hinged lids provide storage under the bench seating. A table with a pedestal base maximizes leg room. A see-through shelving unit installed behind one of the bench backs adds a sense of enclosure while still allowing light -- and the eye -- to travel through the space.
Great White
Lay the foundation for a modern table setting by sticking with an all-white palette. Always crisp and fresh, white exudes a classic confidence that allows shapely furniture to shine. Here, molded plastic armchairs typically used on a patio are zipped up tight in chic slipcovers that show off their curvy figures to advantage. A see-through shade also reveals a tantalizing glimpse of a curvaceous chandelier.
Space Odyssey
Combining one pedestal table with four aerodynamic chairs is a surefire way to create an out-of-this-world eating experience. A shimmering, fluted base of molded silver plastic anchors this open-plan dining area. See-through wire chairs echo the silver sheen, while a starburst chandelier crafted from capiz shells further illuminates the scene.
Creative Contrast
Brash contrast in color, texture, and style is one of the secrets to achieving a contemporary design that's warm and inviting versus cool and stiff. In this dining space, black chairs are paired with a white table to create an eye-pleasing repetition of the contrast between the almost-black wood floors and white walls. Beyond color, the chairs tightly woven makeup also contrasts with the table's wide-plank painted wood. The eye is further entertained by the contrast between the chairs no-frills design and the romantic cutouts in the table.
