I grew up eating dinner with my family at the table every night. I didn’t really realize that our weeknight routine was pretty uncommon until a few years ago, and I’m so very grateful that my parents put that emphasis on gathering together. Naturally, I’m now a sucker for great dining room ideas as I peruse my favorite design blogs, Pinterest and magazines; I see much of the heart of the home there (as an extension of the kitchen of course) and I find myself saving inspiration for the room in which I’ll share dinner with my own family someday.
Now that I’ve left the nest, I still love spending the time around the table, even if it’s only during the holidays now. And if you’re anything like my family over the holidays, you spend the majority of the visits sitting around the table, even after the food has long been devoured.
I thought it was a great time to round up some gorgeous dining spaces. Check out the slideshow above for some of my favorite dining room ideas (all pin-worthy), and tell me which is your favorite style below! Cheers, Kat
