I don't know where you are finding these pictures but they are so sterile and lack any warmth.

Different strokes, I suppose, is the order of the day...

It’s an ok room. I like the table and chairs. The red flowers in the silver urns are too large IMO. I don’t like the drapes, chandelier, or flooring.

I don't find it understated at all. I think it's formal looking. I'm guessing the hutch is in the room somewhere. Only parts I like are the large windows & side door.

I love this room! So few people seem to use traditional decor anymore. I adore it. Traditional is always in style IMO.

@ScenicMaine Yes agree, definitely a 'formal' dining room. Understated, for me, because though it might be a more formal traditional room, it's still relatively simple. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles, there's a minimum of 'stuff' (china, crystal, etc.) sitting around and the floor covering is natural fiber as opposed to a pricey, intricate rug or carpet. The ceiling fixture and art work are also on the more simple side...

It will pass except for the drapes, window shades, chandelier and floor covering! Unfortunately, that does not leave much to pass!

I like the drapes and the chandelier. I would change the color of the chairs. Beautiful table!

I find this dining room very appealing. The only change I would make is to add some color, I would have the walls painted a light blue or have the chairs covered in a color, just my taste.

Just figure this room will be great on the east coast but living in the west or southwest no way. No heavy drapes with our heat and I do have a dinning room but hardly use it. Lifestyle here is outdoor or casual. Just depends where you live. New houses are just so open without dinning rooms. Huge island kitchens that can seat 6 open to family room. I feel like living in a fishbowl. This is what they want & they will build it, no yard have community pool & bike paths with small picnic areas with playground. Busy families low maintenance on top of eachother and for a great price $500,000. plus HOA. wow and they buy them up. I don't understand.

I really like this room for people who can afford a formal DR. I would change the drapes, tho. Too busy for the rest of the room.

I am a fan of t raditional decor. Never goes out of style. It's nice to see a traditional dining room with a beautiful chandelier, table and chairs and no tin signs saying EAT stuck on the walls.
