Another example of using just a few Baroque or rococo details to elevate a luxury dining room is this one, which puts the focus on tassels. The large chandelier is the obvious focal point, and while the overall look is not ornate, the dominant feature are the hefty tassels dangling from each individual lamp. A part of the typical lambrequin motif, the tassel was an important element in the Baroque era.
Another hallmark of Baroque era interiors was marquetry of the type that is featured on this stunning round dining table. This era fueled the rise of great furniture designers and cabinet-makers, who were leading artists in the field of inlaying ebony wood with tortoise shell, brass and other metals. You don’t need many pieces of marquetry to make a statement and here, the table tales center stage under the opulent, but slightly modern crystal chandelier. The characteristics of the period are carried through the room with the unadorned wall panels, embellished buffet and damask upholstered chairs.
There are many ways in which you can make your dining room feel modern. It doesn’t always have to do with the furniture or the accessories. Sometimes it all starts with the internal structure of the house. For example, a modern dining room can be opened onto the exterior and can be a transitional space where the users have the possibility of either dining indoors or outdoors.
While Baroque dining rooms are usually known for their ample ornamentation, these beautiful luxury dining rooms are great examples of how the elements of the era are very adaptable. Depending on the level of detail desired, it’s certainly possible to incorporate rococo and Baroque features into any style of dining room for an opulent and luxurious space.
