Dining Room Shelves Design Photos and Ideas

A family of architects teamed up to bring sunshine to every corner of their 650-square-foot flat in Madrid.
In the dining room, enlarging the window opening brings more light and connections to the exterior, while a new wet bar creates opportunities for entertaining. The table is custom, and chairs and rug are from CB2. The pendant lights are Design Within Reach.
The cabinets and floating shelf are raw steel, and the handmade table is lime plaster, joined with Zara Home stools.

The former laundry space was refashioned into a windowside booth, its built-in shelves, walls and ceilings painted red. It's become popular with kids and visitors.

The team preserved the blue and buggy pine paneling, which was important to the owners, and made it more of a feature by bringing in new pieces, all of which highlight the double-height ceilings. "That pine, it's really filled with character," says Fowler.
When more seating is required, the family can simply roll out more table space. The extra seating comes out from under the bird cabinet in the living room.
The kitchen received a light "punch-up," including this wall-mounted pegboard shelving system.
