Why we love Olivia Rodrigo's mid-century dining room
Through dark wood and cream colors, Olivia has created a comfortable looking space. “Olivia's dining room looks so warm and welcoming — she nailed the balance between traditional and modern,” says Hayley Martin, interior design expert and founder of Hello Hayley. By maintaining a simple color scheme and pairing it with modern shapes, she’s created a chic, cohesive look.
Hayley is a distinguished home decor and interior design expert renowned for her unique blend of farmhouse, industrial, bohemian, and coastal styles. With a specialized certificate in Interior Design and Decoration and an innate flair for transforming spaces, she brings each home's story to life.
The main small space furniture piece which stands out in Olivia Rodrigo’s dining room is the table. “Her mid-century modern dining table brings warmth to the space through its pretty wood color, and its tapered legs create character and visual interest,” explains Vivianne Chow, interior designer and founder of Viv and Tim Home.
“Her cane dining chairs also introduce lots of texture and make the dining room feel extra cozy and inviting.”
Vivianne Chow is an interior stylist and founder of the home decor blog, VivandTimHome.com. She's passionate about sharing the best modern home decor to buy and recently built a dream custom home with her husband Tim. Together, they're tackling decorating room by room and sharing design tips and ideas along the way.
As well as this, the finishing touches complement the space, too. “I like how she kept the decor simple: just a couple of eye-catching pieces like the pretty picture and the potted indoor plant,” Martin adds. “It's all arranged nicely, too, so people can easily move around and chat over dinner.”
When arranging furniture in a small space, it’s a good idea to make sure you decorate with pieces that will allow access.
If you want to recreate something similar in your own dining room, it’s easy to do. “Use textures here and there for visual interest, like Olivia's woven rug,” Martin tells us.
She also suggests working with one statement décor item, such as an artsy light fixture or print in a nice frame. “You can also keep wall art cohesive by framing it all in the same tone.” Little touches like that make such a difference.
