Rustic and Raw

When most people hear the word rustic, they often imagine some old out-of-date cabin in the woods. However, when done right, rustic designs can be beautiful – and they can be exactly what your dining room needs. By incorporating elements of the traditional ideas with textured wooden designs, the rustic look typically features exposed beams, bench style seating, and of course, plenty of plants and flowers.

Cottage

When it comes to dining room styles, the cottage design is perfect for those who prefer an elegant but low-key look.

Light patterns are also common with this design, and can help your chairs and table decorations stand out. While some people like to go all-out when it comes to their dining room design, this look proves that you can give your dining room a great look while still keeping things relatively simple.
