Dining Room With Petal Pendants and Marble Table

The green hexagon tile is laid as a panel directly under the table and bar, while the rest of the floor is smooth resin. Setting the tile as an island marks the dining zone in an open layout without needing a wall or a step. The hexagon shape and the deep green also bring in the room's boldest colour at floor level. Tile here is practical too, since it takes spills and chair scrapes better than a soft rug would.

It is an oval table with a marble top on curved wooden legs finished with brass tips. The oval shape was picked over a rectangle so chairs can tuck in along the bend and nobody sits at a hard corner. Marble gives the top weight and a cool, patterned surface that pairs with the softer fabric chairs. One thing to plan for: marble is porous and stains from oil or wine, so it needs sealing and a quick wipe after meals.

There are two chair styles at the table. Some are fully upholstered in deep green, soft to lean back into, while others have a curved wooden back with a green seat pad and a slim gold stripe. Mixing two chair types keeps a long table from looking like a showroom set, and the shared green ties them together. The wooden ones wear harder over time, and the upholstered pair are the ones to protect from spills.

The main wall is cream fluted panelling, vertical grooves running floor to height, with a terracotta relief panel set into it as art. The fluting was kept quiet and pale so the terracotta piece stands out against it. Vertical grooves also make the wall read taller, which suits the double-height room. Wood battens frame the sections. Because the panelling is a light cream, marks show, so it is better away from the busiest traffic lines.

Yes, and the dining room still holds together without it. The bar is a fluted grey counter with a marble top and two woven bar stools, set to one side as an extra rather than the main event. Drop it and you free that wall for a crockery unit or just more open floor. The petal lights, tiled floor and marble table are what define the space, so losing the bar changes the function, not the look.

The oval table comfortably seats six, with room to ease a couple more in at the ends if the chairs are slim. Oval tops are good for flexible seating because there are no fixed corners to work around. If you add the two bar stools at the counter, the room handles a bigger gathering by splitting people between table and bar. For everyday use six is the honest number without crowding the walkway.

Not especially, and it is easier than a rug in a dining room. Glazed hexagon tiles wipe clean and shrug off dropped food, which is exactly what you want under a table. The work is in the grout lines, since the small hexagon format means a lot of them, and grout picks up grime over time. Sealing the grout at the start and cleaning it now and then keeps the deep green looking sharp for years.
