20 of the Coziest Dining Rooms

This transitional dining room is
clean lined and uncluttered, but upholstered chairs, artwork, a round
table, exposed ceiling beams and a mix of wood finishes all contribute
to the coziness.

This is the home that launched a thousand blog posts. Although Victoria of sfgirlbybay
has moved a few times since this was her home, many of us fell in love
with her comfy bohemian modern San Francisco apartment with a
copper-clad fireplace, schoolhouse chalkboard, farmhouse table and tulip
chairs, and we've been following her around ever since the first time
we saw it.

This dining room is bodacious and
glam, but is cozied up by sheepskin throws on the chairs, great dimmable
overhead lighting and bamboo shades.
|
This Spanish colonial dining room is very sophisticated and warm at the same time, thanks to spool furniture, a candle-like chandelier, rich red walls and an antique rug.
|
The style of this room is also
Spanish colonial, but it's very different from the previous example. In
this room the intricate woven textiles on the chairs, the honey-colored
wood table and bench, the faux-textured walls and the rugs, drapes and
lighting all add coziness in a much lighter color palette.
|
This dining room is at once cozy
yet a bit austere. The wainscoting, cheerful wallpaper, drapes and
chandelier bring in warmth without also bringing in the clutter.
|
Sometimes a dining room is simply a
small space where two people can enjoy a meal together. In this comfy
gatehouse, two armchairs and a table found a pleasant corner within an
open space.

I'm not sure if it's the rag rug,
the cuckoo clock or the proudly displayed collections, but this dining
room feels like a spot where a family loves to gather casually and
comfortably.
|
Though I don't usually associate bright white with coziness, this eclectic room feels like a happy place that draws people in.
|
Again, lots of white doesn't
necessarily make one think of coziness, but slipcovered chairs, candles
overhead, a fireplace, rustic beams and a natural floor give this room
an intimate vibe.
|
The dining room and library combo
is a surefire way to make a comfortable multipurpose room. This one gets
bonus coziness points for heavy drapes and cushy host and hostess
chairs.
|
There's something about a rustic
aesthetic that makes a room feel tucked far away from the rest of the
world in a homestead or camp kind of way. Natural materials like large
stones and twiggy wood pieces bring in an away-from-it-all vibe; dark
wood ceilings and ocher walls finish off the look.
|
I cannot seem to write about
dining rooms without including this photo. While the space is relatively
large, the long dining sofa, wingback host and hostess chairs, red
dining chairs, candle chandelier, rug, window trim and soft wall color
make it unique and oh so inviting.
