It invites you to luxuriate in these everyday occasions, and basic interior design principles keep your space looking sleek and streamlined. No stuffy, overly formal dining rooms here &mdash; you&rsquo;ll have the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort that&rsquo;s never too prissy for pizza. To strike that balance between luxury and modernity, let&rsquo;s explore the essential elements of luxury modern dining room design. Then, we&rsquo;ll serve up eight interior design ideas to transform your dining area into a posh and inviting space. 
<h2>Elements of luxury modern dining room design</h2>
If there&rsquo;s one element that&rsquo;s defined luxury interior design through the ages, it&rsquo;s materials. Luxury home decor creates a playground of high-end, natural materials like stone, metal, and solid wood. Picture a luxury dining room with marble, quartz, or granite alongside gleaming metals like brass or iron, all while other natural elements like wood, leather, or crystal join the party. Larger and thicker pieces of these materials increase the feeling of luxury. For example, a marble dining table with a one-inch thick tabletop feels more finely crafted &mdash; and therefore more luxurious &mdash; than one with a half-inch thick tabletop. It&rsquo;s also more expensive. If you want to do luxury for less, you can create the same look with high-quality faux marble and MDF furniture pieces. Luxury design also embraces dark color schemes, like dark wood, rich jewel tones, or <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/black-furniture">black furniture</a>. Historically, <a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/story/the-secret-history-of-the-color-black/fwISZyrkPUt0IA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these colors were more expensive to produce</a>, and although that&rsquo;s no longer the case, richly pigmented colors still lend a luxury vibe to your dining space. Worried about your dining room feeling way too dark? Throw in a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/lighting-mirrors/mirrors-lighting-mirrors/wall-mirrors-mirrors-lighting-mirrors-lighting-mirrors">wall mirror</a> or crystal chandelier to reflect more natural light into the room. You can even find modern, geometric versions of crystal chandeliers and pendant lights to match your contemporary design. To ensure your luxury dining room keeps its contemporary feel, stick to these interior design principles: clean lines, geometric silhouettes, and minimal ornamentation. In modern home decor, form follows function. So, every piece in your design should put functionality first.
<h2>8 luxury modern dining room design ideas</h2>
The principles of modern luxury design are simple, but they create a sophisticated style. You can see the look come to life with these eight examples of luxury modern dining room furniture pieces to help inspire your designs.
<h3>1. A Carrara marble dining room table</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/carla-rectangular-dining-table-with-cultured-carrara-marble-top-white-and-gold"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181958" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Carla-Rectangular-Dining-Table-with-Cultured-Carrara-Marble-Top-White-and-Gold.jpg" alt="Luxury modern dining room design: Carla Rectangular Dining Table with Cultured Carrara Marble Top White and Gold" width="1200" height="900"></a> A genuine marble tabletop adds instant style to any luxury modern dining room idea. We love the thick marble top on the <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/carla-rectangular-dining-table-with-cultured-carrara-marble-top-white-and-gold">Carla Rectangular Dining Table</a>. While many marble-topped tables feature a thinner slab of marble, the tabletop on this dining room table is two inches thick, adding to the luxury feel. Modern design principles are showcased in the tabletop&rsquo;s minimalist rectangular edges and the rectangular silhouette of the table legs. The table legs combine a glamorous metallic hew with a gray wood finish that plays off the gray veining of the marble. It&rsquo;s the perfect focal point for your contemporary dining room.
<h3>2. An unexpected geometric silhouette</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/camden-5-piece-round-faux-marble-top-dining-table-set-black"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181957" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Camden-5-piece-Round-Faux-Marble-Top-Dining-Table-Set-Black.jpg" alt="Luxury modern dining room design: Camden 5-piece Round Faux Marble Top Dining Table Set Black" width="1200" height="900"></a> If you want a modern, geometric dining set that goes beyond round or rectangular shapes, look for a piece like the <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/camden-5-piece-round-faux-marble-top-dining-table-set-black">Camden 5-piece Dining Table Set</a>. The star-shaped base adds visual interest to your dining room design. The U-shaped backs and seats of the dining chairs bring another minimal yet original geometric silhouette. A faux marble tabletop means this piece adds affordable luxury. The top is melamine, which provides a durable, dent and scratch-resistant surface. The black finish on the table brings in a rich, dark color scheme, while the cream-colored upholstery on the chairs adds contrast and keeps the space from feeling too dark. Pair it with a bronze light fixture to complete the luxurious look.
<h3>3. A reflective table base</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/kerwin-5-piece-dining-room-set-grey-and-chrome"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181962" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Kerwin-5-piece-Dining-Room-Set-Grey-and-Chrome.jpg" alt="Luxury modern dining room design: Kerwin 5-piece Dining Room Set Grey and Chrome" width="1200" height="800"></a> A mirrored finish adds <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/bling-your-space-guide-to-glam-style">glam style</a> to your dining space while reflecting light around the room, making it feel brighter and more open. It&rsquo;s an excellent choice for closed-off dining rooms that aren&rsquo;t part of an open-plan layout since these rooms often have less natural light. The <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/kerwin-5-piece-dining-room-set-grey-and-chrome">Kerwin 5-piece Dining Room Set</a> features a reflective, polished chrome finish. The half-moon base adds a unique but understated silhouette to your dining room, and the faux marble top keeps luxury within reach. Light flickering off the chrome base will catch the eye and allow this dining set to take center stage in your dining room design.
<h3>4. A mirrored tabletop</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/emery-76-inch-rectangular-mirrored-dining-table-silver"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181961" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Emery-76-inch-Rectangular-Mirrored-Dining-Table-Silver.jpg" alt="Luxury modern dining room design: Emery 76-inch Rectangular Mirrored Dining Table Silver" width="1200" height="750"></a> You can take the sparkle up a level by choosing a dining room table with a mirrored tabletop and base. The <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/emery-76-inch-rectangular-mirrored-dining-table-silver">Emery 76-inch Rectangular Dining Table</a> showcases a gleaming finish from top to bottom. It will make your space feel light and bright, adding to your dining room&rsquo;s glamorous ambiance. The V-shaped table legs add a clean-lined design to your modern dining room. The table features a sturdy metal base to support its mirrored surfaces, and the mirrored tabletop offers an elegant but affordable alternative to natural stone.
<h3>5. A bronze table base</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/edson-5-piece-rectangular-glass-top-dining-table-set-bronze"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181960" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Edson-5-piece-Rectangular-Glass-Top-Dining-Table-Set-Bronze.jpg" alt="Edson 5-piece Rectangular Glass Top Dining Table Set Bronze" width="1200" height="862"></a> Metal is one of the materials that&rsquo;s featured heavily in luxury design. It&rsquo;s a sturdy choice for the base of your dining table and dining chairs, and the gold hues bring sophistication to your space. The contrast of bronze and black in the <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/edson-5-piece-rectangular-glass-top-dining-table-set-bronze">Edson 5-piece Dining Table Set</a> makes a striking centerpiece for your luxury modern dining room design. The unique S-shape of the bronze base and the curved back of the boucle chairs bring organic curves to your design without departing from a modern silhouette. The black glass tabletop provides an elegant and easy-to-clean alternative to a stone top.
<h3>6. A sintered stone tabletop</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/carvell-rectangular-sintered-stone-dining-table-mirage-white"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181959" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Carvell-Rectangular-Sintered-Stone-Dining-Table-Mirage-White.jpg" alt="Carvell Rectangular Sintered Stone Dining Table Mirage White" width="1200" height="750"></a> The <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/carvell-rectangular-sintered-stone-dining-table-mirage-white">Carvell Rectangular Dining Table</a> showcases the beauty of sintered stone with its white mirage veining. The glossy black table legs feature a starburst shape that pays homage to mid-century modern design. To create a curated look for your space, pair this eye-catching table with <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/dining-chairs-benches-kitchen-dining">dining chairs</a> that fit your style. <a href="https://www.bhg.com/what-is-sintered-stone-7485855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sintered stone</a>, the material used for this tabletop, is an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to marble. It&rsquo;s created by compressing natural materials and minerals under high heat to create an extremely durable solid stone material. This manufactured stone has gained popularity as an alternative to marble and quartz, finding application in dining room tables, countertops, and bathrooms.
<h3>7. A column pedestal</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/acadia-round-53-inch-sintered-stone-top-dining-table-white"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181955" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Acadia-Round-53-inch-Sintered-Stone-Top-Dining-Table-White.jpg" alt="Acadia Round 53-inch Sintered Stone Top Dining Table White" width="1200" height="801"></a> Columns may be one of the oldest decorating ideas, yet this simple shape is still decidedly modern and luxurious since they&rsquo;re most often featured in high-end homes. This <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/acadia-round-53-inch-sintered-stone-top-dining-table-white">Acadia Round Dining Table</a> has a minimalist reeded column pedestal base paired with a round sintered stone tabletop. The design is elegant enough to appear in a New York City penthouse or a Boca Raton beach house. The small footprint of the table is ideal for adding luxury to small spaces or open-plan dining and living spaces.
<h3>8. Extendable elegance</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/brookmead-rectangular-dining-table-with-18-removable-extension-leaf-black"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181956" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Brookmead-Rectangular-Dining-Table-with-18&Prime;-Removable-Extension-Leaf-Black.jpg" alt="Brookmead Rectangular Dining Table with 18&Prime; Removable Extension Leaf Black" width="1200" height="1200"></a> True luxury comes from having everything you need for your and your guests&rsquo; comfort.
