West Elm Modern Dining Room Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a west elm modern dining room — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a west elm modern dining room
A west elm modern dining room blends the west elm modern look — graphic + inviting, walnut veneer, wool, cotton velvet, travertine, opal glass — with layouts and details that suit a dining room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
West Elm Modern dining room palette
Use warm grey and bone for the largest areas, walnut for one continuous storage or table element and deep teal on one upholstered plane. Muted rust should be smaller than teal, while aged brass works best as a thin line rather than a room-wide finish.
Color roles
A city-neutral field for walls and cabinetry that accepts both walnut and saturated color.
The main warm material, strongest when grain direction is deliberate and repeated sparingly.
A cool anchor for one chair, headboard or work seat rather than every accessory.
A small warm counterpoint that prevents teal and grey from feeling corporate.
A pale textile and stone bridge that keeps high contrast comfortable.
A low-sheen metal accent for selected light fittings and handles.
