This formality needs to be livened and brightened up to suit a contemporary open plan style. You can do this by including a bright abstract rug underneath the dining table, an interesting lighting fixture in an industrial or organic style and a fresh colour scheme used throughout the dining room.

There is no need to give up formal dining in open plan kitchens Mornington, however. A large polished wooden table close by to the work surfaces is accessible, comfortable and stylish. Best of all, it can easily be dressed up for a formal dinner party, while still offering the convenience of close proximity to the cooking area.
