Your dining room is just waiting to be optimized, but you’re running out of ideas. No worries, decorating pros are here to help you and here’s what they all do to transform an ordinary space and make it extraordinary.
It’s a dream for many of us: a dining area worthy of a great restaurant, at once warm, elegant and wildly optimized. But now, between the lack of space and the often impersonal standard furniture, the challenge is significant. Fortunately, the decorators have found the secret to instilling this coveted tailor-made spirit.
It’s the great obsession of the moment on the networks and in the most beautiful architectural projects. To break the rigid side of the traditional table surrounded by four to six chairs, the trend is towards renewal. We look for fluidity, comfort and character. The key idea? Recreate the cozy atmosphere of Parisian bistros and intimate alcoves by adopting a single-piece seat. Not only does this visually structure the space, but it also allows you to maximize the number of guests around the table without cluttering the room.
Best of all, this pro tip doesn’t just look good. By aligning perfectly against a wall or in a corner, it frees up valuable space for circulation. The secret of decorators to obtain this high-end result without going through the carpentry box (and the invoice that goes with it)? Focus on a clever, modular piece of furniture, with an enveloping design, capable of hiding large storage volumes while displaying resolutely contemporary lines.
This nugget that everyone is snapping up is the Senssia table bench in solid oak from La Redoute Interiors, priced at 449 euros on the site. From the brilliant “Les Ingénieux” collection designed by the brand’s designers in Roubaix, this modular seat brilliantly reinterprets the lines of yesteryear. Under its generous cushions and warm light wood finish, it hides a huge secret storage chest, ideal for hiding festive tableware or throws.
Vintage aesthetics, studied comfort and total modularity: it’s an absolute favorite for a chic, functional and resolutely convivial dining area.
