Mealtimes are an occasion to be savoured, according to luxury interiors brand Olivia’s.
And for those about to revamp their dining area, Faye Simons, Head of Interior Design at Olivia’s, is on hand to offer her expertise on how to create a space where people will want to linger, long after a meal is finished.
Using two very different, but equally aesthetically pleasing dining tables from Olivia’s, Faye shows how to combine function and style to create the ultimate dining area.
The Hera Dining Table by O&Co is a pedestal-style table in a striking black finish. On its own, it is a true style statement with its sleek lines and contemporary finish, but with Faye’s expertise, it commands attention.
Faye said: “By introducing a curated centrepiece, textured tableware, comfortable seating, and ambient lighting, you’ll transform your table into a stylish centre-stage for dining.”
Faye recommends a centrepiece to anchor the table. A metallic or natural wood tray makes a chic platform for candles or florals, and these can be switched up to mark special occasions or reflect the changing seasons.
Complement the modern black finish with tableware that provides contrast and texture. Opt for white or cream stoneware plates, paired with a polished or matte black cutlery set.
Adding style and comfort around the table can transform the room. Reflect the rest of the home’s decor and opt for seating that will tie the looks together.
And finally, enhance the ambiance with overhead or accent lights. A statement pendant light over the table on a dimmer switch can change the mood of the room in an instant.
For those looking for a more muted dining suite, Faye recommends O&Co’s Maison Dining Table – a stunning clear-topped table with opulent polished gold legs.
She said: “This is such an incredibly versatile table. Utilise accessories to create a modern, cohesive look and bring a fresh take on luxury dining.”
Faye would style this piece with a gold crystal pendant above the table and a clean glass vase filled with fresh or faux greenery. The reflective glass top, warm gold tones, and natural greenery combine to feel fresh yet luxe, perfect for an elevated dining experience.
The Hera Dining Table and the Maison Dining Table are both available now from Olivia’s, with prices starting at £125.
