Dining areas are trendy and unique in a café style home interior. They’re casual and as far from rigid and formal as you can possibly get. So use chairs that are very trendy – the Eames Eiffel chair is a good option. Other than that, the dining table can be a little in-the-box and formal, but only slightly.
