dining table inspiration

Today I’ve been inspired by this beautiful over-sized oak dining table. The home in question belongs to Terence Conran, and a version of the table can be actually bought from the Conran Shop. Since we are a relatively large family I’d love to get something like this so that we could sit down at once while we have friends visiting.

I also love those floor-to-ceiling sash windows that bring so much light into the room. And the open kitchen design with the old-fashioned way of pots and pans hanging on top of the island and on walls is a lovely contrast to the otherwise a bit more contemporary kitchen design. This setup manages to make the large table appear much smaller and the open space in general cozy despite the relatively high ceilings.
