1,574 Dining Room Chair Pendant Lighting Design Photos And Ideas

The floor in the dining room—which extends out to the entrance courtyard—is made of recycled terra-cotta roof tiles sourced by Gather & Co. and laid in a herringbone pattern. The dining room features a Butterworth table by Lowe Furniture and Mathilda chairs by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso.
Azalea Grey Mink Chairs from CB2 flank either end of the table, and the Rejuvenation Shaw Side Chairs line the sides. The artwork is by Seattle artist Jay Stern, and the wall lights are the Up Down Wall Sconce from In Common With, in green and black.
Dining Room
The brightened space sports midcentury-inspired furniture. The arrow artwork lines up with the five targets near the entry to the ground-floor bedroom.
A sheer curtain divides the living spaces as needed, while another lightwell directs sunlight into the dining area. “The pendant lights above the island and dining table are actually made of concrete, which I thought was a fun juxtaposition against the lightness of the room and general materials chosen,” Suzanne adds.

The couple streamlined and widened the decorative arch at the entry to the room so it synched with the living room ceilings, and straightened the walls to the ceiling for a cleaner look.
The kitchen island table is custom, weathered with chains and hammers for a rustic look.
“Moments of finer-scale timber detailing are carried through the design, providing a sense of craftsmanship for the builder and furniture maker clients,” note the architects.
Designed by a little-known architect in 1949, the now streamlined home honors its original bones.
The homes’ interiors are open and airy. The ground-floor kitchen opens to the dining room, which leads to the the living area. There, two sets of glass doors provide access to a terrace, expanding available living space.
In British Columbia’s Soo Valley, only some 20 minutes from Whistler skiing, this off-grid residence designed by Perkins & Will is a pilot for Delta Land Development’s future alpine settlement. Principally powered by the sun, it’s built to Passive House standards, collecting its own water and treating its own waste. Heated by a GeoExchange geothermal pump, it also embraces natural ventilation with cleverly placed windows.
The custom kitchen cabinetry and table are made from Douglas fir. The Elefy dining chairs are by Jaime Hayon for &Tradition, and a Tine K Home pendant lamp hangs above. Polished concrete floors run throughout the space.
Mitchell Ehrlich designed the wallpaper in the dining area.
Slim pendants from Vibia hang above a Saarinen dining table from Knoll and Cherner chairs.
While the interior design is mellow, the house was a social hub (or at least it was pre-pandemic), frequently the site of games nights and jams. The open space here, in a pinch, could also comfortably host a small house show. (It was the perfect size for the 75 guests at the couple's post-wedding brunch earlier in the year.)
The wood wrapped wall took so long to install that Andrew and Christina were ready to call the whole thing off… but today, the alder panelling is one of their favorite details of the home. The reclaimed white oak flooring from Good Wood in Nashville brings even more woodsy warmth.
Where they could reuse original fittings and fixtures, they did, painting Bakelite handles and repurposing industrial, warehouse-style pendants found on-site. “We used whatever we could, and didn’t throw things out. Even the front door that was being thrown out by the neighbor next door (who was also renovating), Rose saved.” says Szczerbicki.
The passively designed house doesn’t have any heating or cooling mechanical elements; the slab floor collects heat that radiates through the space. Windows are oriented for maximum winter sun, with external eves blocking the heat come summertime.
With the home’s glass walls pulled open, the patio and fire pit become an extension of the dining room.
A flourishing garden grows inside this glass-roofed Victorian home in Melbourne. The skylight creates a sunny space to dine while warm wood tones accentuate this nature-inspired abode.
The kitchen/dining area features bespoke American oak joinery, and Juuyo suspension lamps created by Lorenza Bozzoli for Moooi.
The circular wall sconce is a nod to Ahumada’s Mexican heritage. It’s made from a $2 comal—a type of cookware that is traditionally used to prepare tortillas. “We bought four of them, and they turned out amazing using an LED strip and a cake plate," Thomas says.
The Bogarts’ kitchen boasts a painting by Otis Husband, an artist and art professor from Houston. The cabinets are walnut with an oiled finish.
Emerick Architects turned an outdoor deck into a cantilevered dining room, and they opened the walled-off kitchen to the rest of the house.
Felted louvres between the entrance and the living room provide acoustic insulation and warmth while still allowing light to penetrate the interior.
The large, double-height window at the front of the home looks into the dining area and brings light into one of the girls’ bedrooms in the basement. “The dining area is the part of the home that is pressed against the glass because the clients wanted it to be part of their community when people came over,” says architect Trevor Wallace. The edges of the otherwise square form of the surrounding timber screen have been rounded off to create a visual softness.
Claire picked out the furnishings for the second unit, making sure none were chemically treated. A spiral staircase leads up to the bonus loft space.
Inside Eugene and Claire’s home, an expansive sliding glass door connects their living spaces to the farm, creating a literal farm-to-table experience.
An exterior terrace lies just off the main living spaces on the third floor. It can be seen through the window at the stairs.
Natural light cascades over the stairwells to reach the tree growing in the dining room.
The house is currently being used for gatherings and corporate retreats for companies that embrace a philosophy of planetary wellness.
The design team avoided using carbon-heavy materials (like concrete and steel) wherever possible.
The breakfast nook is a new addition, and takes the place of where a dining room once was. The bench storage "makes the kitchen feel much more organized now,
In the dining room, Tang installed a built-in reading bench under the windows. It’s upholstered in ikat fabric and anchored by bookshelves at one end. The vintage Danish cabinet belongs to the owners, while the brilliant, deep orange pendant was sourced by Tang’s team. It’s a 1960s Equator pendant by Jo Hammerborg for Fog and Morup.
A Nuura Miira 4 pendant light hangs above the custom one-ton marble dining table surrounded by Era dining chairs by Living Divani from Space Saving Furniture Australia. The framed photograph is by Paul Ogier.
The dining area features a Portica dining table from Room & Board surrounded by molded fiberglass chairs by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller.. A Stickbulb pendant hangs above the table.
The home measures approximately 1,485 square feet, with an open living space that includes the kitchen and dining room.
Just off the kitchen and behind the living room is a dining area. Folding glass doors achieve Feng Shui by opening the entire space up to cross-breezes and water elements on both sides.
Inside, a double-height living area is topped by a row of clerestory windows and a trio of mahogany beams that swoop upward like buttresses toward a balcony. Rows of windows and multi-paneled folding doors frame postcard-worthy views of the surrounding landscape.
The timber deck is level with the living room floor (made of blackbutt wood) so that it feels like an extension of the interior.
Rounded furnishings balance out the sharp angles in the living/dining room. No.B9 Le Corbusier chairs in black by Thonet are arranged around a Tripod table by Mark Tuckey. The vase is by Bridget Bodenham.
The dining table was made by metalworker Rick Gage from planks reclaimed from a Detroit factory and drill bits. Seth Keller created the seating, shelving and credenza, on which sit ceramics by Suzanne Beautyman, Im Schafer, and Benjamin Teague. Two bright-orange plastic moulded Eames chairs add a pop of colour to the room and act as alternates to the bench seating around the table.
An Ingo Maurer Flotation light hangs over the Keiji Ashizawa-designed kitchen table, which is lined with Carl Hansen chairs.
Sand-blasted cafesina marble flooring adds textural interest and is used throughout the kitchen, dining room (pictured), living room, and covered terrace.
A Minka-Lavery pendant light hangs above the dining area off the patio. On the far end of the kitchen is the broom closet.
The dining table and the bench were custom-made for the home. Under the tabletop are drawers, a solution that conveniently provides additional storage space without adding visual clutter. The silicon rubber pendant light is by Muuto.
