6 Ways To Design an Earthy Dining Room With One Kings Lane
Getting ready to entertain and host this season? If so, One Kings Lane is here to help you prepare the dining room for maximum style and function. This season, here’s how you can help your guests relax by curating a space inspired by One Kings Lane’s signature sophisticated modern design and soothing natural elements.
01
Set the Scene
The dining table is where it all happens — conversations unfurl, meals are enjoyed, and precious memories are made. When choosing the perfect dining table, the three key factors are size, shape, and material. Celebrates the earthy essence of fall with natural wood dining tables that can fit a variety of styles. For example, a weathered wood table is perfect for farmhouse style whereas a tapered-leg oak design is quintessentially mid century modern. For flexibility in size and shape, choose an extendable dining table.
02
Serve Up Comfort
Comfort is key during the fall season. It’s the time of the year when all you want to do is settle into soft textures and cushioned seating. Give the people what they want with upholstered chairs that invite guests to linger around the table long after the meal is over. Consider fabrics like velvet, boucle, or tweed in warm tones to add a touch of luxury.
03
Serve in More Ways Than One
Kitchens are full of cabinets and shelves, but dining rooms often lack storage, which is where a sideboard from One Kings Lane comes in. The sleek yet spacious addition can be used to spread out your potluck plates buffet-style, display seasonal decor like rustic plaid runners, or provide closed storage to house extra serving dishes. Select a piece that complements your fall decor, whether it’s a classic wooden cabinet or a sleek, modern buffet.
04
Find Your Glow-Up
The right lighting can instantly transform a room’s ambiance. Create an inviting atmosphere with low and moody lighting that complement the warm tones of your wood furniture. Better yet, try adding a statement light fixture with an eye-catching design.
For a finishing touch, add flickering candles that heighten the sensory experience of your meals.

05
Bring in Texture Through Layers
Placing an area rug adds welcoming softness underfoot (and protect your floors from any chair legs that may scratch them). It also helps you create a visual hierarchy, emphasizing the central role of your dining room set in an open floor plan.
When choosing a rug, prioritize rich fabrics, nature-inspired neutrals, or botanical prints for a dose of autumnal charm. If you’re scared of stains and spills, consider washable rugs for easy maintenance.

06
Deck the Walls
If you need a focal point in your dining room, it may be time to update your wall art to reflect the season. To lean into a warmer, fall vibe, consider oversized traditional oil paintings that feature fall landscapes or harvest scenes. We love the texture that a hand-painted piece can add to a space.
If you prefer an abstract pattern for a Modern interior design, simply swap it out for a piece that showcase autumnal colors like forest green, golden yellow, or burnt orange.
