Dining rooms loom large in November and December as a gathering place for family and friends. Even if for the rest of the year it’s only a place gathering homework and office work, this month a seasonally appropriate centerpiece should have pride of place. Here are some inspirational options.
Trad/Mod Mix
Homeowners David Tran and Ryan Hiser fearlessly mixed the traditional architecture and dining table of their Midtown home with contemporary brass and gray velvet-upholstered dining chairs. The oversized metal bowl centered on the table brims with fall berries and autumnal flowers.
Boho Revisited
On a long, narrow table, like this vintage burled-wood dining table in the home of Bettina Lowe and Nick Flynn, a long, narrow arrangement fits the bill. Plumes of feathery pampas grass mix with floral accents in a centerpiece by Beco Flowers.
Lodge Life
The dining room in a modern mountain cabin set in the wilds of Kansas City features red runners down the rustic table. Centered on the table is a lush arrangement of red flowers, including anemone, popping out of greenery in a centerpiece by Bergamot & Ivy.
