For me, “comfy dining room” means a conventional, compact room with rock walls, a roaring fire, a wrought iron chandelier, upholstered seats and a round wooden dining table atop an Oriental rug, rather located in a Tuscan villa. Easy — we’ve got a good deal of beautiful examples of those on . But that’s not all there’s to comfy. Exposed brick and rustic beams aren’t a necessity. Cozy can take many shapes and fashions. I’ve combed to find a diverse assortment of dining rooms with a comfy feel. Caution: Don’t turn into a drinking game where you have a sip every time that I write “cozy.” This would be horrible for your health.

You ask me to get comfy, I imagine this rustic yet elegant room. The flame, the comfortable chairs, the chandelier, the more exposed beams and brick. I could stop right here and claim that this is the ultimate comfy dining space, but I will press and provide you more.

This dining room is in a stone farmhouse in France. It doesn’t get any cozier than this, except maybe if it had been in Italy, because then the risotto will be even better.

Coziness can mean having to create at least four people get up so for one to leave the dining table. While this sounds inconvenient, it is just part of the price paid for smart space saving, and it is not too big a deal.

Coziness can also take the form of sitting shoulder to shoulder along with your dinner companions. This indicates you’re all very close, you like one another and you are having a great time.

Contemporary and cozy aren’t mutually exclusive. Warm woods, textures, colors and lighting give a cozy ambience here, while Cherner dining room provides a dollop of midcentury modern style.
Laura Martin Bovard
This transitional dining room is clean lined and uncluttered, but upholstered seats, art, a round table, exposed ceiling beams and a mix of wood finishes all contribute to the coziness.
SFGIRLBYBAY
This is the house that launched a thousand blog posts. Although Victoria of sfgirlbybay has moved a few times since this was her home, many of us fell in love with her cozy bohemian modern San Francisco apartment with a copper-clad fireplace, schoolhouse chalkboard, farmhouse dining table and tulip seats, and we have been following her around ever since the very first time we watched it.

This dining room is bodacious and glam, but is cozied up by sheepskin cries on the seats, excellent dimmable overhead lighting and bamboo shades.
Blackband Design
This Spanish colonial dining room is very sophisticated and hot at the same period, thanks to spool furniture, a candle-like chandelier, rich red walls and an antique rug.
Witt Construction
The style of this room can be Spanish colonial, but it is very different from the previous case. In this room the intricate woven textiles on the seats, the honey-colored wood dining table and seat, the faux-textured walls as well as the rugs, drapes and lighting all add coziness in a significantly lighter color palette.
RW Anderson Homes
This dining room is simultaneously comfy yet a bit austere. The wainscoting, cheerful background, drapes and chandelier bring in heat without also earning the mess.
Murphy & Co.. Design
On occasion a dining room is simply a little space where two people are able to enjoy a meal together. Within this comfortable gatehouse, two armchairs and a desk located a pleasant corner inside an open area.

I am not positive whether it’s the rag rug, the cuckoo clock or even the proudly displayed groups, but this dining room feels like a spot where a family loves to collect softly and comfortably.

Although I don’t usually combine glowing white with coziness, this eclectic room feels like a joyful place that draws people in.
James Glover Residential & Interior Design
Again, tons of white does not necessarily make 1 think of coziness, however slipcovered chairs, candles overhead, a fireplace, rustic beams and a natural floor give this room an intimate vibe.
Michael Fullen Design Group
The dining room and library combo is a surefire way to earn a comfortable multipurpose room. This one gets bonus coziness points for heavy drapes and cushy host and hostess seats.
Extra layers bring extra coziness to this dining room. The dining table is layered in 2 tablecloths, the seats are wrapped in fringe-trimmed fabric, the mantel is layered with china, candles and plants … even the chandelier is strung in colours and greens.

There is something about a rustic aesthetic that makes a space feel tucked far away from the rest of the world in a homestead or camp type of way. Natural materials like big stones and twiggy wood pieces bring in an away-from-it-all vibe; dark wood countertops and ocher walls finish off the look.
Andrea Schumacher Interiors
I cannot seem to write about dining rooms without including this photo. Though the area is relatively big, the extended dining couch, wingback host and hostess seats, red dining seats, cocktail room, rug, window trim and soft wall shade make it unique and so inviting.
Carson Poetzl, Inc..
I will end with the type of space I explained at the start. I am just a sucker for a round wood dining table in a dining room with stone walls, exposed beams, upholstered seats and of course, a roaring fireplace.
