A quirky, colourful dining room

It’s more the merrier – be it colours, prints or patterns – in this vibrant and eclectic dining room

Let your quirky flag fly with this highly individualistic dining room. Borrowing from the maximalist theme, here’s where you can go completely over the top. We prefer this look in our dining area primarily because it provides for a great conversation point for all those meals with our folks. A good starting point is the backdrop. A busy, black and white wallpaper with a “kitchen” theme is just apt. Be it curios from your travels or prints from local artists, remember to do a mix of 2D and 3D elements. Break the bright pops of colours with hints of white, or even gold. This look is anything but plain cookie cutter, off the shelf buys. If you are the type that likes to pick up that one bespoke piece instead of all pieces in one go, then this look is definitely for you. You can even pair different types of chairs in different colours, and it will all still seem cohesive. Restraint is not a choice here. So, go on, flash your most playful side to create a distinct dining room with a whole lot of character.
