1. Gold and turquoise in Texas. Houzz
readers loved the bold statement the designer made with the curves of
the chairs, table and chandelier, as well as the texture provided by the
antiqued mirror and blue walls.
2. Contemporary open fireplace in Denver. A double-sided fireplace
both separates and connects the dining and living rooms in this ranch
house. The mix of stone tiles on the floor and fireplace complements the
shell chandelier — a combination Houzzers loved.

3. Simple and spacious in Chicago. Blue
was a popular color for dining rooms on Houzz this year, including this
traditional space. Contrasting white paint draws attention to the
trim's details, adding another element of interest.
|
4. Midcentury Modern in Minnesota. Upholstered
chairs bring the blue into this dining room. The pendant chandelier
helps to tie in the glossy starburst mirror and deco table lamp.
|
5. Beachfront views in South Carolina. Sometimes
an incredible view is all that's needed to decorate a room. The
Atlantic Ocean dictated this room's beach style — from the rattan chairs
to the worn wooden table.

6. New traditional in South Carolina. Paneled
siding painted a soft taupe combines traditional and contemporary
elements in this dining room. While the furniture is stunning, Houzzers
saved this photo for all the architectural details, including the
ceiling beams, trim and transom windows.

7. Entertainment friendly in Georgia. Perfect
for entertaining, this kitchen layout feels warm and welcoming.
Everything from the wine rack to the cheerful table setting, to the
happy wall art made this room ideabookworthy.

|
8. Newport Beach neutrals. A
dining room doesn't have to be grand to make an impact, as evidenced by
this simple space in California. Although the table and chairs don't
take up a ton of room, high-impact accents — pendants, curtains and wall
art — make the space especially inspiring.
|
|
9. Cozy seating in California. Houzzers
loved the idea of eating in comfort in 2012, so upholstered dining
chairs were particularly popular. These plush pink and white chairs look
perfect for postmeal lounging.
|
|
10. Rustic glam in Denver. Rustic
materials combine with metallic accents in this dining space. A
matching bench sits next to the table for a little extra seating —
something many Houzz users noted in their ideabooks.
