Interior designer Huong Vu suggests that the key to decorating a round dining table lies in the simplicity of the design. “Decorating a round dining table, like the one in this image, benefits from simplicity,” she notes. “A single clear vase with vibrant lilacs and greens introduces color and life, easy to keep or move as needed.”
This round wooden table is surrounded by white rattan dining chairs, creating a clean and simple aesthetic. Above the table hangs a pendant light with a white shade, its soft glow illuminating the table and the vase of greenery and dark purple lilacs that sits atop it.
Vu also offers an alternative approach to maintaining the table’s symmetry. “Opting for a trio of items on a round or square tray could also maintain the table’s symmetry,” she says. This would complement the overhead pendant and echo the room’s varied textures and finishes, creating a cohesive and inviting space.
