In today’s fast-paced world, scheduling time for formal family dinners isn’t always easy, but this collection of 8 stylish dining rooms just might open up a few calendars.

2. Striped red wallpaper, a dazzling crystal chandelier and antique dining chairs covered in a pale green upholstery combine to create a suburban Chicago dining room that feels traditional and fresh at the same time.
3.This dining room in Brooklyn, New York, created by the team at The Design High, includes wishbone dining chairs, a midcentury-inspired dining table and an industrial chandelier. But it’s the floor-to-ceiling world map on the back wall that provides the final touch.
4. The table in this traditional Atlanta dining room has rustic iron legs and an oak top in a pickled white finish. The pair of Chippendale chairs against the back wall were originally black, but the homeowner had them painted white.

8. This black-and-white dining room in Paris would be a study in minimalism if it weren’t for the vivid oil painting on the back wall. The glass-topped dining table was designed by the project’s architect, Manuel Sequeira.
