apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Thank goodness for home interior blogs and generous people willing to share their inspirational homes. We recently came across four dining spaces on Design*Sponge that get the wheels turning in our head. These aren't the kind of dining rooms that you'd find yourself gasping over; but that's what makes them so great. They are special, unique and most importantly inspirational and attainable.

We love the mis-matched monochromatic chairs with the ornate crystal chandelier hanging above (last image), but we also love the absolute simplicity of an all black, matching dining set (second image). And maybe it's because we're low-key entertainers — we can't get enough of the modern yet down-to-earth look of a roughed up wood table. They are easily transformed depending on the type of tableware you choose to use.

Taking inspiration from attainable spaces shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg!
