Picking the right dining table to be both beautiful + functional in your home is paramount. That right balance between beauty and function is what will make your space work for the unique demands of your busy family and will also make your guests oh and aw when they come over for supper.

We love the juxtaposition of using chairs in one fabric and a table made from something completely different. No matching sets for us! We like to keep things interesting and mix + match. Here we used a durable velvet chair with a live edge walnut table that we had sealed for durability.

Always look for interesting detail on your kitchen table. This is likely one of the largest pieces in your home and you want it to make a statement. We fell in love with the unique stacked wood legs on this table + the contracting lacquered top.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match different tones of wood. We love how these lighter wood chairs contrast with the darker dining table. The contract makes your room feel collected and cozier.

Know your family! If you have young kiddos, don’t purchase a table that doesn’t hold up well to spills and grimy hands hoping that your children will miraculously be able to live with it. It is going to drive you crazy! There are so many kid-friendly options these days. Choose something that is both beautiful but that will also withstand the test of time for your family and ultimately make your life easier.

Our Favorite Accessories To Style With . Scottsdale AZ . Interior Design

We definitely have some favorite accessories we love to style with and we use them time and time again, in different shapes and forms.

We love to use textured baskets in all types of spaces! In bathrooms, they make great laundry baskets, in entryways, they contain all your miscellaneous items that aren’t pretty but are essential, and in the family room, they can hide kiddo and dog toys.

You can never go wrong by adding a unique tray to a coffee table to help contain your items and keep little items like remotes safe from getting lost. We always look for trays that contract either the color or the texture and style of the coffee tables in our designs.

Pillows are a standby item we always use when accessorizing beds, sofas, and benches. Splurging on a well-made pillow ensures that the pillow will be big and fluffy. We love finding unique fabrics that contrast with the furniture we are styling them on.

Vases in groups of three make for a great styling set on pretty cabinets and console tables. Lately, we have been using neutral simple vases to let the other details like wallpaper shine
