25 dining room ideas – trends, styles and rooms to inspire a change of decor

Jessica’s beautiful country cottage in the heart of the Peak District was quite dark inside when they moved in. There are only windows on one side of the cottage and Jessica’s aim was to harness what little light they gave to be reflected back into the room. White was the perfect choice for this and she also finds it has a calming effect on her which is always a bonus! Jessica decided to keep the beams natural to match the flooring so the space didn’t feel too stark and her minimalist styling gives a modern rustic look to match her country kitchen which we love!
