Dining Space Source Book
This is not simply a collection of my own dining furniture, but it includes many pieces that do or would make any dining space feel warm, generous and lived in. From relaxed seating, to warm lighting, and the smaller details that always pull everything together. These are pieces that can help any dining space feel comfortable, where people can feel connected and happy to linger a little longer... Bliss!
Dining Benches
Callie Slipcover L-Shaped Storage Banquette
The bench I kept coming back to, and ultimately we decided on. The versatile (and washable!) fabric slipcovers and bonus storage for a space that currently has none... it was hard to beat. For not a whole lot more than what 6 chairs would likely set you back...I love it.

Anton Solid Wood Dining Bench
Of course, the classic timber bench is always an option. If this is more suitable for your style and function - you will find far more options. To soften this to feel a bit more comfortable - simply add a linen seat pad, a sheepskin or a few relaxed cushions. I love the warmth of this "West Elm" Anton bench. I would also look at early settler for wood tones.
Additional Seating
Lighting
Linen Pendant
Being a rather small space for us - I just loved the organic, Japandi style of this handmade Tamarind pendant from Beacon Lighting. It makes a beautiful statement without overwhelming the room, while the linen texture brings softness, warmth and just the right amount of character above the table.
Decor
Centre Pieces
Centre pieces are personal, and ever changing! At least at my home they certainly do. However, nothing beats fresh stems at the dining table and my tip here would be to go big. One larger statement centre piece is far more effective than a series of smaller accents, that you seem to keep moving...
