Featured |  “8 stunning country dining spaces” by Honor Kennedy in Homify:

“Many of us dream of a countryside escape. Somewhere far away from the hustle and bustle of the frenetic city, and within a small town or community brimming with quaint allure and character.

For those who are lucky enough to live in such a place, they will undoubtedly know the charming ambience country style décor can impart on a home. 

If you are unable to move or escape the city, you might want to consider injecting a little warmth using the unmistakable charm of a country style dining setting.

Moreover, if you do live in the country, and wish to update your dining space, consider the following examples as some stylistic inspiration for your next domestic facelift. 

In this example from GOAStudio we are treated to a view of a dining space that brings the outside ‘in’ through the use of bi-fold doors.

These doors open up entirely to ensure a sense of movement and cohesion between the exterior garden and courtyard space, and the interior dining area.

To create a country vibe in your own home, an open dining area that embraces fresh air and the outdoors is a perfect solution.” 

This project sits within the wider context of our work as Barnet residential architects, helping homeowners judge what is likely to work before committing to a design direction.
