While you naturally hope that your culinary delights will take centre stage, a thoughtfully designed, dedicated dining area can greatly enhance the entire experience. From controlled lighting to forming a welcoming space, an accomplished interior design company will ensure that your dining room is delivered with an eye for exquisite detail.
Accouter Design is renowned for providing award-winning interior design to high-profile clients on over £600 million worth of property in some of the world’s finest postcodes.
Rhian Barker, the company’s design director, says, “When entering a dining room, the first thing the eyes will be drawn to is not only the dining table itself, but the back of dining chairs inviting people to be seated at the table. We use materiality, texture and colour to fabricate a convivial and welcoming dining space within the home. Commissioned by a private client, our designers recently produced 22 bespoke dining chairs, each one hand embroidered and beautifully crafted with comfort in mind, finished with metal detailing on the backs to create a functional yet ultra-luxurious dining experience.
“Lighting can be manipulated in certain ways to create the desired ambience of a dining room. By placing low-hanging lighting pendants directly above the dining table, Accouter Design accentuates the centralised space, the natural meeting point for diners, while muting the lighting in unoccupied parts of the room for a dramatic atmosphere. Not only this, but through clever use of reflective surfaces such as polished plaster ceilings and mirrored walls, low-level light is reflected back on to the dining table creating the same effect.”
When it comes to dining at the table, from Hermes chinaware to engraved silverware and embossed linens, Accouter Design collaborates with tableware and decorative specialists to curate a truly unique and luxury dinnerware experience designed with opulence. “Although the design doesn’t end at the dining experience itself,” advises Rhian. “When unoccupied, delicate sculptural decorations become a table’s centrepiece accentuating the notable characteristics of Accouter Design’s bespoke feature dining tables.”
